Overview
Latin may be a “dead” language, but it’s all around us—in science, philosophy, religion, and at the root of English grammar. From “carpe diem” to the more obscure “alea iacta est,” classicist Maia Lee-Chin explains the fascinating origins of many Latin phrases still in use—as well as those that have been lost to the ages.
Each entry includes a direct translation, attribution, origin, and a striking, full-page illustration by Italian artist Marta Bertello. A beautiful object as well as a useful reference book, Et Cetera brings ancient knowledge and culture to life for readers of the 21st Century.
