Selecta Latini sermonis Exemplaria e scriptoribus probatissimis ad christianae juventutis usum: A - excerpta et ad editionem Parisiensem recusa

This volume belongs to a tradition of pedagogical texts compiled by the French scholar and educator Pierre Chompré in the 18th century. Intended specifically for the education of Christian youth, the collection served as a curated anthology of classical Latin literature, designed to instruct students in proper grammar and rhetoric while filtering content to suit religious moral standards of the era.

Chompré was a prominent figure in French educational circles, known for his work in classical philology and the preparation of educational primers. This specific edition, framed as a revision of a Parisian original, reflects the broader European movement to canonize specific Latin texts for school use. These compilations were widely distributed throughout academies and religious colleges, serving as standard-issue tools for generations of students learning to master Latin through the lens of classical authority.
