Latin diversion

In 1971 the Library advertised for a Special Collections Librarian - “Applicants must be fully qualified librarians with an appropriate degree and should have at least a working knowledge of Greek or Latin and another foreign language" – R.F. Doust
N0 need to panic - the National Archives Office has an online
beginners' guide to the Latin used in documents between 1086 and 1733.

Just what I've been looking for. Thanks Maggie. Now I'd like simple French and German for the same period.
