""Latin Prosody in Latin and English"" is a specialized educational resource designed to guide students and scholars through the intricate rules of Latin versification. Written by James A. Colligan, S. J., this work provides a comprehensive overview of the principles governing the quantity of syllables and the structure of classical Latin meter.

By presenting explanations in both Latin and English, the book serves as a bridge for learners, facilitating a deeper understanding of the rhythm and flow of ancient Roman poetry. The text covers fundamental topics such as long and short syllables, elision, and various metrical forms used by classical poets. It is structured to help readers not only scan lines of verse with precision but also appreciate the phonetic beauty of the Latin language.

This scholarly manual remains a valuable tool for anyone interested in the technical aspects of classical literature, linguistics, or the pedagogical history of Latin instruction. Its dual-language approach ensures clarity while maintaining the academic rigor expected in the study of classical philology.
