Vischers Wortkunde ('vocabulary') has rapidly established itself as a standard work at
university level. Its aim is to provide the user with the vocabulary required to read fluently.
To this end the book deals mainly with the most commonly read authors: Cicero Caesar Sallust
Livy Tacitus Terence Virgil Horace and Ovid. The vocabulary it covers provides the basis
for understanding other poets and authors.
