Readings in Church Latin: Caesar and Cicero

One of two recordings of writings by Roman writers and poets read by Mario A. Pei. In this volume, Pei reads selections from Julius Caesar’s “Gallic War” and Cicero’s “Orations.” Pei reads the texts using “Church” pronunciation of Latin as currently spoken in the Vatican rather than using Classical pronunciation, a form of Latin that is no longer spoken. The liner notes provide Pei’s notes, the original Latin texts and English translations.
