Memoria Press Description: A New Year’s feast at King Arthur’s court is interrupted by the appearance of a gigantic Green Knight, resplendent on horseback. He challenges any of Arthur’s men to behead him, provided that if he survives he can return the blow a year later. Sir Gawain accepts the wager and decapitates the knight—but the mysterious warrior cheats death and vanishes, bearing his head with him. The following winter Gawain sets out to find the knight in the wild Northern lands and to keep his side of the bargain. One of the great masterpieces of Middle English poetry, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight magically combines elements of fairy tales and heroic sagas with the pageantry, chivalry and courtly love of medieval romance.

Beowulf the Warrior Set (Book, Student Guide, and Teacher Guide)
Set includes the Ignatius Edition of the book as retold by Ian Serraillier, the Memoria Press Student Guide, and the Memoria Press Teacher Guide. These are the current Second Edition.
Memoria Press Description: “Beowulf the Warrior is an outstanding modern version of the oldest epic in the English language. Ian Serrailler has retold the story of the hero Beowulf and his three memorable exploits—first, his rescuing of Hrothgar the Dane from the ravages of monstrous Grendel; next, his victory over Grendel’s strange and horrible mother; and finally, in Beowulf’s old age, his saving of his own people, the Geats, from the horrors of a dragon at the cost of his life. The adventure, with its compelling grandeur, speaks for itself. Beowulf’s heroism and noble heart communicates to any English-speaking listener. Serrailler has rewoven in modern narrative verse the energy and vividness of the original. The lines invite the tongue to read them aloud. Master storyteller that he is, Serrailler has made the tale accessible to our day. Here is a wonderful means to get acquainted with a treasure from 1200 years ago, and (why are we so surprised?) become enthralled. First published in the 1950’s, Beowulf the Warrior has proven its mettle with a wide age range. It is a work of art in itself and a doorway to further experiences with the epic.”

Material Logic with Aristotle Set by Memoria Press (Student Text, Teacher Key, Quizzes & Test)
Set includes the Material Logic Student Text, the Teacher Key, and the Quizzes and Test booklet, all by Memoria Press. All three are like new and are the current Third Edition.
Memoria Press Description: When most people think of logic, they think of formal logic—the study of the structure or form of reasoning. But what most educators don’t realize is that formal logic is only one part of a complete logic program. The other branch of logic study was called “material logic,” and focused not on the form of reasoning, but on its content. In short, while formal logic studied the “how” of reasoning, material logic studied the “what.”
The principles of material logic, an important part of trivium language study, are now almost forgotten—a casualty of the almost exclusive modern secular emphasis on math and sciences. Formal logic was once termed minor (or lesser) logic, while material logic usually went by the name of major (or greater) logic—a measure of how important classical thinkers considered them.
With the publication of Material Logic: A Course in How to Think, these ancient techniques are a lost art no more. Whether you want a follow-on course to Memoria Press’ popular Traditional Logic program, or simply an introductory thinking skills course for high school grades, this new addition to Memoria Press’ widely acclaimed Classical Trivium Core Series is a valuable tool in teaching your student to think.
Material Logic, like all of Memoria Press’ programs, is designed to ease the job of the teacher or parent—with straightforward explanations, an easy-to-read text layout, and digestible daily exercise sets.
Student Text: The Student Text contains an introduction to the course, 15 chapters of content, and appendices with helpful tips for studying logic.
Teacher Key: The Material Logic Teacher Key contains the answers to the exercises in the Material Logic Student Workbook (NOT included) and the Quizzes & Test. The Student Workbook is NOT included in this set.
Quizzes & Test: This book contains 14 chapter quizzes and a final exam for Material Logic by Martin Cothran. An answer key and downloadable version of the quizzes and test are also included.$19.95$33.25 -

Memoria Press Description: Aristotle’s Rhetoric concerns itself with the art of persuasion. This is a required text for Memoria Press’ Classical Rhetoric with Aristotle. From the publisher: “One of the seminal works of Western philosophy, Aristotle’s Rhetoric vastly influenced all subsequent thought on the subject—philosophical, political, and literary. Focusing on the use of language as both a vehicle and a tool to shape a persuasive argument, Aristotle delineates with remarkable insight both practical and aesthetic elements and their proper combination in an effective presentation, oral or written. He emphasizes the role of language in achieving precision and clarity of thought.
The ancients regarded rhetoric as the crowning intellectual discipline—the synthesis of logical principles and other knowledge attained from years of schooling. Modern readers will find considerable relevance in Aristotelian rhetoric and its focus on developing argumentation. Aristotle’s examinations of how to compose and interpret speeches offer significant insights into the language and style of contemporary communications, from advertisements to news reports and other media.”
The Classical Rhetoric Answer Key (included) contains the answers to the quizzes and tests found in the Classical Rhetoric Quizzes & Tests (NOT included in this set) and the exercises and comprehension questions found in the Classical Rhetoric Student Guide (NOT included in this set).$6.00$16.50 -

Modern Biology by Memoria Press Teacher Manual
This is only the Teacher Guide. Very gently used with no markings or highlighting. This is the First Edition.
This Teacher Guide is to be used with “Modern Biology” by Holt, Rinehart and Winston (ISBN: 9780030367694), which has gone out of print. If you are using this guide you will need to purchase the textbook used elsewhere.
Memoria Press Description: Memoria Press’ Guide to Modern Biology is designed to teach students the science of life in a clear and understandable way. Modern Biology is a big book, but Highlands Latin School’s Dr. Rebecca Shelburne has designed this course to cover only the material students need for a complete high school course. Students will spend several weeks on biochemistry, cell structure, and the fundamentals of genetics, picking up later in the book with microbiology and the structure and function of plants, and concluding with a study of vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Dr. Shelburne’s illuminating lectures in the Instructional Videos explain and expand upon the information in the text, while the Student Guide and Coloring Workbook walk students toward mastery and prepare them for the Tests. This great text, along with Dr. Shelburne’s lectures and targeted exercises, will bring this subject alive.

Each lesson in the teacher guide includes the answers to questions found in the student guide as well as section review keys. A test key is also included in the teacher guide.

The Book of the Ancient Romans (Textbook and Teacher Guide)
Set includes Textbook and Teacher Guide. Gently used and neither have markings or highlighting. These are the current Second Edition.
Memoria Press Description: Like any good Roman course, this one begins with the she-wolf who nurses in infancy the legendary founders of Rome: Romulus and Remus. The rise and fall of a monarchy, the embrace of a republic with the simultaneous dislike for kings, and finally the rise of the Roman Empire teach unforgettable principles about human nature and society. Dorothy Mills covers all of this, over 1,200 years of history, in an accessible text for middle-schoolers, with many references to primary sources in translation. We believe this book covers the Roman history expertly for younger students. It not only addresses the historical events, but includes notes on Roman culture, political system, and religion. This Memoria Press edition includes many illustrations of famous places and battles, busts of famous Romans, and maps of the Roman world in order to immerse the student in the period.
