Has anyone read/studied "A Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin" by John F. Collins. I heard it is really good but the author is somewhat against the Latin Mass and traditionalists. Is this true? Are there any other good self-study books for learning eccesiastical latin? Thanks

I've used it, and I'd recommend it. I don't know what the author's personal opinions about the Latin Mass or traditionalists are, but (whatever they are) they don't leap off the pages and bash you in the head.

Blessings,

I didn't learn Latin from Collins' book, but I have it, and it is solid.  It packs a lot of information in each chapter; if you use it, I recommend very much spending a good bit of time in each chapter, making sure that you are certain you have all of the material down before moving on.

Whether Collins is pro- or anti-traditional is irrelevant in the case of this book; there is nothing in the chapters besides grammatical and syntactical information.  I know that the Order of Mass provided in the readings at the end of the book is NO, but there are many ancient and traditional hymns as well.  I recommend it, and I am thinking of using it in teaching a basic Latin course at my parish.

Thanks everyone for your replies(and some good links).....I only thought that "A Primer of Eccesiastical Latin" was anti-traditionalist because of a couple of reviews on it at Amazon. As long as the authors opinion doesn't get in the way I will probably buy it. God speed.

Nice to see another group of traditional Franciscans out there. I think the others are in Morgan, France.

I must make a clarification pertaining to the link I gave for the free Ecclesiastical Latin Grammar course.  It is not a direct link. After you click on the link, click on "Articles" at the top left-center. Then scroll down to the bottom right of the page and you will find a link called "Ecclesiastical Latin Grammar, a 14-week course"
             Thanks
