Latin texts are often packed with pitfalls : a risk well known to the Cambridge Latin Therapy Group, which here presents its fourth collection of translations. The theme is catastrophe, and how to avoid it. Readers should be warned that they will encounter the disastrous and drunken antics of fifteenth-century students, the machinations of fraudulent alchemists, the causes of monsters, and a mysterious and sinister medical instrument.

Beyond these perils, they will face a host of misleading 'false friends' :
the tricks and traps of the Latin language itself. Together, these contributions chart the Group's efforts to wrest sense and delight from the teeth of its medieval and early modern sources.
