Henle Latin Grammar (and an unrelated question)

[edit]

It appears that these books are still in print! Loyola Press

I do have a question about this part of the article: "From 1941 to 1942, he studied at the St. Stanislaus Novitiate in Cleveland, Ohio, and then at the University of Toronto from 1942 to 1945.[6] At the same time, beginning in 1943, he served as an instructor in philosophy and dean of the School of Philosophy and Science at Saint Louis University." Can you elaborate on how he split his time between Toronto and St. Louis? Thanks! Zagalejo^^^ 15:25, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out, Zagalejo. The source suggests that he would periodically go back and forth between Toronto and St. Louis, so I've added that to the text. Ergo Sum 17:13, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The bit in the lead "a series of widely used instructional books on Latin grammar" is a bit imprecise: Henle wrote four textbooks following the (standard, at the time) sequence grammar -> Caesar -> Cicero -> Virgil, as well as a supplementary handbook of grammar and syntax. The book he's best known for is the first-year grammar textbook (not the handbook); his other, more advanced textbooks aren't focussed solely on grammar.
