Hiatus brevis: October 15-19

I'm not going to have reliable computer access for a few days, so the blogs will be briefly on hiatus until next week - although you can still see the daily widgets by using these links:

• Latin Poem of the Day
• Audio Latin Proverb of the Day
• Daily Maxim from Publilius Syrus
• Rhyming Proverb of the Day
• Daily Proverb from Polydorus
• Proverbium Perbreve of the Day
• Proverbium Breve of the Day
• Vulgate Verse of the Day
• Latin Animal Proverb of the Day
• Erasmus's Animal Proverb of the Day
• Proper Name Proverb of the Day
• Greek Proverb of the Day
• Fable of the Day

What's nice about the automated widgets is that they keep on ticking even when I'm not able to be at the computer! :-)

Also, I wanted to announce a really exciting new publication from the folks at CANE, the Classical Association of New England - it's a new edition of the verse fables of Phaedrus, along with all kinds of wonderful supplementary materials, including medieval Latin fables, plus Latin-English vocabulary for every fable on the facing page. The fables are selected and arranged by Jeremiah Mead, with revisions for this new edition by Ruth Breindel. The book is available from CANE Press at their website - where you can browse around to find some other wonderful Latin materials, too! What a great new addition to the Latin fable bookshelf!
