Talk:List of recent original books in Latin

Break up by reading difficulty?

Hi there, I have added a few books that I know about and will add some more. But this has the potential to be a very long list. Since this list is most useful to people who are learning Latin, how about breaking the list into sections based on reading ability, or else adding a column for it; eg, Beginner Latin (A1-A2), Intermediate (B1-B2); Modern Latin (C1-C2)?

I did this, needs some levels assigning. Jim Killock (talk) 07:42, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Epitome Historiae Sacrae: Brevi Christi Vitae Narratione Addita

This doesn't really fit the criteria here, as it was written in 1784. You might want to adjust the criteria, or remove it. Roberto Carfagiani has made no substantive adjustment to the 1784 text as I understand it, but rather added Latin notes to aid the learner, and made a few minor corrections, so is not really an "author" of this very well-known text.

Split off modern novellas

I think the list of self-published novellas is overwhelming the fiction section, so I propose these are split off into a "novellas" section. Jim Killock (talk) 12:01, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Should this include music, film, tv?

It does seem a bit arbitrary to exclude these categories, although again some kind of threshold may be needed with music and TV. Jim Killock (talk) 09:30, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
