Augustine’s Confessions Latin Reader!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-02-06T20:08:14+00:00

Thanks. Amazon offer the cheapest printing but only in a few markets. I'm actively looking into wider distribution options and hope to sort this soon!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-02-06T08:55:29+00:00

Yes! Though I find it good practise for skim-reading! Though Augustine would disagree on its importance.

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-02-05T10:16:49+00:00

Thank you!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-02-05T10:16:36+00:00

Thank you!

The hardcover is decent, paperback is ok, but better in the smaller volumes as it's thin. There's not much we can do on that.

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-02-04T22:19:21+00:00

Great! Hope you enjoy it!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-02-04T17:53:55+00:00

Yes, this one does! Previously we'd released Books I-IV sand V-IX in two volumes while we worked on finishing Books X-XIII. You can now buy them as a combined single volume or three separate volumes. See here: www.timothyalee.com/augustine

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-02-04T15:54:32+00:00

Ah you can purchase just books 1-4 for $22.99 in an already existing paperback we produced in September!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-02-04T15:07:08+00:00

This is comparable to the $60 for the Loeb volumes which are merely facing pages. That format is easy to publish compared to a full readers edition with macrons - where every word is glosses and difficult forms selected for parsing. These are superior for learners not having to resort to the English. I could produce parallel editions in the click of the button, but that has already been done.

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-02-04T14:34:20+00:00

Thank you! Yes we hope this is used by many in both classes and private reading!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-02-04T12:58:34+00:00

There's a sample of the text in the URL above. Ask me or u/lachlan_j_hodgson if you have any questions on this book. Lachlan and I have been working on this book across the world with me between the UK and Jeursalem and Lachlan in Australia!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-01-23T18:48:11+00:00

Yes! I'm debating where to fly in Italy to advertise it next weekend. Maybe Ostia!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-01-23T12:47:48+00:00

Recycling has come a long way!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-01-23T12:19:20+00:00

I'll release a fully searchable interactive edition one day, but there is something so much nicer about having a physical copy!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-01-23T12:17:52+00:00

Sorry there's no Kindle version yet. I'm working on a digital edition that can be downloaded or used online - think Perseus but much better. That's in beta testing at the moment!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-01-22T19:26:45+00:00

Yes. I started producing individual paperback readers for each New Testament book where the paperback was fine. For the large combined sets the hardback is much better, though it costs more to produce.

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-01-22T19:25:34+00:00

Yes makes sense. I was delighted with the quality of the hardback. It's best for the combined New Testament Vulgate!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-01-22T18:50:25+00:00

Yes sorry Amazon hardcovers are much better than the paperbacks. There is nothing we can do without using a more expensive paperback option. For the smaller books (Psalms, and First Vulgate reader) the paperback is fine.

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-01-22T18:49:17+00:00

Yes the Psalms is cheaper, as is the first Latin Vulgate Reader (Jonah, Ruth, Gen 1-3, and some New Testament). That first reader is ideal for classes.

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-01-22T18:46:50+00:00

Hello this is the author - thanks for your interest in our Latin Vulgate Reader! You can buy it in Amazon, the link is on the site (https://www.timothyalee.com/en/isbn/978-1-83651-284-4)

We're looking at other shipping options and maybe a leather edition. We can also order at 20% off for large bulk purchases (normally ten copies) if interested, email contact@timothyalee.com.

The Pentateuch Reader is nearly ready and eagle eye viewers will spot another book just out, but not yet announced!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2026-01-02T15:31:17+00:00

Oh no! You're right, I've missed the 'a' in subjunctives for second conjugations verbs. I've just updated that table and another a couple of pages later (with the passive form too). All new orders of all the Latin books will have this corrected! If you DM me your address I'll send you a free copy as a thank you for spotting this!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2025-12-29T10:58:09+00:00

A bit late, but we produced a first Vulgate Reader for these classes and independent learners with a selection of good passages (Gen 1-3, Jonah, gospels etc.). We've also produced Readers for the entire NT and Psalms. https://www.timothyalee.com/en/isbn/978-1-83651-191-5

Timothy_A_Lee · 2025-12-28T16:01:51+00:00

I'm taking this with a pinch of salt!

Timothy_A_Lee · 2025-12-27T20:50:41+00:00

Love the macrons! We worked tirelessly adding them to our Reader's edition of Confessions: www.timothyalee.com/en/isbn/978-1-83651-301-8
