Comenius - Lexicon Project: BIG NEWS - Evan discovered a brand-new digitized version of the Lexicon Januale (the beginner's lexicon - not the Atriale) which he has now added to the wiki in its entirely. This is quite amazing! We are also making great progress on the Atriale - with 163 pages already digitized! (That is out of a total of appx. 800 pages in the whole Lexicon.) For those of you who would like to get involved, you can find out more at the Lexicon wiki, which also includes easy step by step instructions for getting started. Thanks to everybody who has been helping out with this: and special thanks to the PULCHRAE, the students of Ann Martin, who have been working on the project! Gratias agimus Pulchris!!!

Latin Proverb of the Day: Today's proverb is Libri muti magistri sunt (English: Books are mute teachers - of all the Latin proverbs, this is one of my personal favorites!).

Meanwhile, to read a brief essay about this proverb, visit the AudioLatinProverbs.com website.
Greek Proverb of the Day: Today's proverb is Τροχίλος θεραπεύει κροκόδειλον (English: The trochilus bird attends to the crocodile - a bit of natural history which may be more fantasy than fact, as you can read in this Wikipedia article).

Latin Via Fables: Simplified Fables: I'm now presenting the "Barlow Aesop" collection, fable by fable, in a SIMPLIFIED version (same story, but in simpler sentences) - with a SLIDESHOW presentation to go along with it, too. Today's Simplified fable is Fable 10: Rusticus et Silva, the story of the trees who foolishly gave the man some wood to use as a handle for his axe.
Bestiaria Latina Podcasts: Today's audio podcast is Fabula: De Lupo Ovis Pelle Induto, a story based on the idea of the wolf in sheep's clothing... with a really powerful illustration by Barlow, as you can see here: look closely and you will see the wolf!
