Like Rich says, I don't think there's any reference book, at least not off the top of my head...<br>
going all the way back to the Twelve Tables (of which indeed we only have fragments) there just isn't much (read: enough) evidence kicking around. The 6th c. Lapis Niger inscription, for example, isn't clearly understood. By the third and second centuries Latin literature per se springs up, including Livius Andronicus, Plautus, and Cato... what do you need it for? I could maybe answer specific questions... are you looking for texts?<br>
<br>
Etruscan, of course, is completely unrelated to Latin, but you can get a grammar for it -- the most recent is Bonfante's. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p088.ezboard.com/bromancivtalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=dannoulpius>Danno Ulpius</A> at: 9/11/04 7:44 pm<br></i>
