This may have been acceptable for a while. For almost two decades, colleges and universities saw their enrollments increase in fields of business, engineering, science, and related diciplines, while enrollments in the liberal arts often suffered declines. PREFACE During the past five years, colleges and universities in the United States have witnessed a resurgence of interest in the liberal arts and humanities.
VOGLER Professor of French, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Romance Languages November, 1993 I admire what he has done and can recommend it with enthusiasm to anyone seeking such a ready-reference tool when undertaking the reading of material likely to contain Latin words and phrases without accompanying translation or explanation. Thanks to Richard Branyon's book, our reading can proceed without breaking stride on such occasions. But now, armed with this compact and eminently usable reference tool, I have realized that encounters with unfamiliar Latin words and phrases in my general reading no longer need to be disconcerting or frustrating experiences. In addition to explaining words and phrases that might be wholly unfamiliar and otherwise undecipherable to a reader with a limited knowledge of the Latin language, this guide also performs the valuable service of making clear many other expressions whose meaning might otherwise remain imperfectly understood or even unintentionally misinterpreted-something I have found happening to myself all too frequently in the past. Not only professors, teachers, and students outside the field of Latin studies but for that matter anyone with a Liberal Arts background would surely find this resource to be helpful and of remarkably practical usefulness. Here was a true "reader's companion," I realized, to have at the ready when reading-or even carefully re-reading-so many works of literature belonging to the Western tradition from Classical Roman Antiquity down to our own time.
