Easy Reading online texts

[metrodorus]

Hi,
I thought a new thread, specifically devoted to online texts that are very easy to read ( beginner - intermediate level) would be useful.

Increasing numbers of books written in Latin are appearing online - the Philological Museum lists over 40,000 titles - some of which were written for younger readers.

One example I cam across recently is this:

Huibnerus, Johannes:
Centum Quatuor Historias Sacras
Lipsiae 1760
http://reader.digitale-sammlungen.de/de ... 00023.html

This text has remarkable similarities in layout to 'direct method' texts of the early twentieth century.
It gives short, simple texts in a classical Latin style, that include simple comprehension questions in Latin after each story. The introduction is particularly interesting, as it outlines a method of teaching using the book.
Molendinarius.

Hi...I'm just downloading the pdf from the German site. I can't find any reference to him in Wikipedia.... Do you know anything about this fellow....It looks like a simplified version of the Vulgate.....?

If you read his introduction, you will see it is not drawing from the Vulgate, but is based on Castelllio's translation of the Bible into Classical Latin.

Metrodorus, thanks. Mind you it's not really digitised..rather just a pdf and even then it appears as an image. I'd like a text version for my kindle....It looks pretty good though..
