Summer Assignment for AP Latin and Honors Latin IV In addition to the lines you will read in Latin, you are responsible for reading Books 1, 6, and 7 of Caesar’s Gallic War Commentaries and Books 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 of Vergil’s Aeneid in English. Because you do not have enough time to read these selections during the term, you are required to read them over the summer. At the beginning of the term we will spend a few days discussing your readings and then you will have two short tests on what you have read. This format of this test will be similar to the short-response questions you had in Latin III but there will be no Latin text involved. These are the names (and the ISBNs) of the texts we will be using in class next year: Caesar, Selections from his Commentarii De Bello Gallico by Hans-Friedrich Mueller (ISBN: 978-0-86516-752-0) Vergil’s Aeneid, Selected Readings from Books 1, 2, 4, and 6 by Barbara Weiden Boyd (ISBN: 978-0-86516-764-3) Virgil, The Aeneid, translated by David West (ISBN: 978-0-14-044932-7) The text we are using for Caesar has all the English readings in the back of the book but the Vergil text does not. That is why I included a separate book of the entire Aeneid in translaton. You are welcome to use whatever translation of the Aeneid you want but I picked this book because it has good summaries of the books and it is easy to read.
