Lutheri latine continet cum adnotationibus grammaticis uocabulorumque. Videtur praefatio Lutheri deesse, quod mea quidem sententia tristissimum est, reliqua autem manga cum laude accipienda sunt. Quamquam textus Latinus minoris catechismi facile inueniri potest, tamen non dubito quin adnotationes huius bellae editionis sint auxilio tironibus Latinae linguae atque nescientibus quomodo saeculo XVI latine dictum sit.

Today I was made aware of a new resource for the Small Catechism in Latin. It’s a new edition of the Catechismus Minor with notes for grammar and vocabulary aid. It appears to be lacking Luther’s preface, (which is a shame I think), yet otherwise is a most praiseworthy effort. Though the Latin text of the SC is readily available, the commentary offered in this nice edition will no doubt be of use to new students of Latin or those unfamiliar with 16th century Latin.

Hopefully I’ll get around to recording the rest of the text, but this is a good start. I have diligently made every effort to make this recording very distinct and clear, observing all the proper vowel quantities. Available as a pdf is the text with macrons added (hopefully all of them). The text is that of the Concordia Triglotta.

The cool thing about this recording is that there are chapter marks so you can skip right to the article you want to hear. Listening to this familiar and rather easy text will go a long way towards your aural Latin proficiency.
