This textbook contains a complete course of the Latin language and is intended for students of lyceums and gymnasiums. It can also be used in liberal arts universities to study Latin. All textbook material is divided into 44 lessons (Lectiones), containing complete (but different in volume) grammatical topics, words for memorization (obligatory lexical minimum), exercises and texts. Most of the lessons also include Latin proverbs and popular expressions (Proverbia et dictiones). After the 44th lesson, texts for additional reading are given. In addition, the textbook includes material for extracurricular work ("Otium post negotium"): plays, songs, riddles. Many lessons are provided with illustrative material. The Latin-Russian and Russian-Latin dictionaries contain the vocabulary necessary for translating textbook texts.
