Repository of Medieval Latin Texts for Latin Level I Examination
As an outcome of the 2021-2024 review of the Medieval Latin program, the Medieval Latin Committee agreed on a repository of Medieval Latin Texts, of moderate difficulty, from which the passages given at the level I exam are selected. Any updates to this list will be published in February on the CMS website each year.
