Looking for Latin Grammar

[CharlieJ]

I'm looking for a comprehensive Latin grammar along the lines of Wallace's Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics. In other words, I'm not looking for a book that proceeds lesson by lesson teaching Latin; I have those. I'm looking for a systematic, topical treatment of the language. Any suggestions?

Wheelock is a very popular book. It's what we used when I took it.

The Official Wheelock's Latin Series Website

I don't think these are quite as comprehensive as Wallace's text, but here are two Latin grammar options that I use for reference in our homeschool:

Amazon.com: Essentials of Latin Grammar: A Practical Guide to the Mastery of Latin (9780844285405): W. Michael Wilson: Books

Amazon.com: English Grammar for Students of Latin: The Study Guide for Those Learning Latin (English Grammar Series) (9780934034340): Norma Goldman, Ladislas Szymanski: Books

I'm teaching Latin to my boys this year using this book which you may find helpful as well:

Amazon.com: Latin for Beginners: Centurion Edition (9781449530723): Dr. Benjamin L D'ooge Ph. D., Mr. Clark L Highsmith, Thomas Babbington Macaulay: Books: Reviews, Prices & more

You can find a free download of the Latin For Beginners book and answer key here:

Latin For Beginners, Benjamin L. D'Ooge

Latin for Beginner's Key, Benjamin L. D'Ooge

I hope this helps!

Blessings,

D'Ooge is good.

Thanks, everyone. I already read Latin pretty well. I was looking for a reference grammar to clear up some things I might have missed or to help work through difficult material. I'm intrigued by Wilson; looks like a handy reference. I found something I'm happy with for now - New Latin Grammar by Allen and Greenough, available for free from Textkit .

I am reading through Simplicissimus. It's a free online course in Ecclesiastical Latin. The downside is, they make you read a bunch of idolatrous garbage from the Mass. Then again, I guess this isn't what you're asking for since I doubt this is a 'comprehensive latin grammar.'
