Learn Latin words for animals and everyday things the way you're supposed to learn a language with Orbis Pictus.

Look Inside the Book

Utilizing macaronic sentences, Latin idioms, illustrations that get at the essentials of words, and a glossary for pronunciation, synonyms, and other useful words, the Orbis Pictus series provides Latin educators with a tool specifically to introduce Latin vocabulary, regardless of their textbook or philosophy of teaching. The Orbis Pictus series helps students pick up vocabulary in the best ways possible:
It introduces words topically, which aids the memory.

Each new word is given in the context of a sentence specifically meant to help a student learn the word.

It uses illustrations, which clarify a word's meaning, help with memorizing, and make lessons more interesting.

The Orbis Pictus series is a great help for students learning to read Roman authors, especially when combined with a grammar-centric text. It can be used as a refreshing supplement for any Latin textbook or completely on its own. It has no prerequisites, and could be useful for even the most advanced students of Latin.

This volume covers almost five hundred words on the natural world. This includes not only vocabulary that appears frequently in Latin literature, but also words that have been adopted as technical terms in various scientific disciplines (especially biology). A student who has mastered the material in The Natural World will have also built up basic English and Latin vocabulary in anatomy, botany, and zoology, and will be much better prepared to read classical Roman literature.

From the Book:

"Although Latin has been remarkably stable for over two millennia, there have been significant changes in its vocabulary and word order. It is consequently impossible to choose a perfect general vocabulary or composition style, especially considering the broad goals of this textbook. I have attempted to do what is most useful for a general student of Latin and will doubtless
offend purists in every camp. In regard to word order, even a beginning student of Latin may notice that I do not follow the style of Cicero and other orators that has become accepted as “authentic.” The truth is that authentic Latin is extraordinarily flexible in this regard. I have deliberately taken advantage of this to make my parallel columns in English and Latin as like as possible. Although the style of both the English and Latin is consequently somewhat affected, there is a clear pedagogical advantage to using a similar word order: even the most elementary student may find the English equivalents of the Latin column by reading it as they would an interlinear text.

"Whenever practical I have selected words and spellings used in the classical period. Where synonyms exist, I have chosen what seems most popular in the surviving literature. Because his usage is more precise, I often preferred words found in Pliny the Elder’s Natural Histories to those used by the poets and orators. Additionally, since this book seeks to aid a student’s comprehension of modern technical terminology, I have preferred words later adopted in the scientific community. When absolutely necessary I have used neo-Latin words, which are clearly designated with an asterisk. For teachers who object to my vocabulary choice, I would encourage them to simply change it. I have included a list of possible alternatives in the glossary." -From the Introduction

Effective!
Works so well! Using on face, for crows feet, 11 lines, forehead and especially under eyes. It is reducing pores, diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, and giving glowing skin. Also using on elbows, wrinkled hands, and an old scar on my foot. My hands are plumping up and looking more youthful. The dark spots, discoloration and scar are fading and I’m sure will be fine with continuing use. A word of caution though - don’t use on eyelids because it will break off, thin out and damage eyelashes. I found that out the hard way and am now using lash serum to grow my once naturally long and healthy eyelashes back. They became half the length, much thinner and brittle. But skin is looking good and folks are starting to comment! Only use around the orbital bone and avoid the lash lines!

Ladies! Get this!! Especially if you're beginning to get wrinkles!
Im new to serums. Im 43 with problem skin, acne scars, and early signs of aging. I did a lot of research on what vitamins my skin is missing at this age and with my health issues. Everything pointed to topical retinoids and niacin. I am an absolute skeptic when it comes to the skin claims. I figured the price is right for something I can try for the first time ever. First off: the bottle is huge. Its simple and well packaged. It doesn't have any weird scent. Its yellowish but so are b vitamins so 🤷. Second: i put this on after showering and patting dry. Its definitely something to apply in the morning as it leaves your skin feeling very dewy. I rub in all over my neck and face, really working it into my crows feet and frown lines. Third: you will have glass skin alone with this but you should still apply a sunscreen. In about 3 weeks ive noticed 1 how soft and supple my skin is, how much my skin literally glows, my skin tone is more even, my acne has almost completely cleared. 1 month later of using 4 pumps daily and I still have over half the bottle left. Im sold. This is a game changer in my over 40 skin routine.

Excellent beauty product for mature skin
I have gotten at least four or five of my friends to use this product. It is by far one of the best serums that I’ve used. I think the most noticeable difference is the firming and plumping of my skin and the reduction of fine lines and large pores, especially on my forehead. I will definitely continue to use this. Once a day at bedtime seems to be enough and plenty and for the price it’s a large bottle and it seems to last a long time. It’s a great deal.

Definitely give it a try!
This product is fantastic! The bottle is huge, and even with twice-daily use (two pumps each time, enough to cover my face, neck, and chest), it lasted me an impressive eight months. I just ordered my second bottle. The retinal formula is incredibly gentle and is the only retinal product I’ve tried that doesn’t irritate my highly sensitive skin. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin looking smooth, plump, and healthy. I highly recommend it!

Soft, Hydrating, and Long-Lasting Moisture – Great Everyday Body Wash
Scent: Fragranced, Size: 30.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really like this Dove Body Wash Deep Moisture. It leaves my skin feeling super soft and hydrated, almost like I used lotion right after showering. The “24hr moisture” claim actually feels pretty accurate because my skin doesn’t dry out like it does with other body washes. It lathers nicely, smells clean and not too strong, and I also like that it’s made with no sulfates or parabens. The bottle is a good size (30.6 oz) so it lasts a while too. Overall, it’s a really solid everyday body wash and one of the best I’ve used for keeping my skin smooth and moisturized.
