Course content
The content of the course consists of the study of Latin, which can also be designed as supplementary study of Classical Latin or Christian/Ecclesiastical Latin. Students will be introduced to the basic grammatical structure of the language (morphology and syntax) and guided toward reading texts independently with the aid of a dictionary. The selection of specific texts will be determined based on the student's preferences and interests, as well as the topic of their doctoral dissertation (the Vulgate, Latin Patristics, Medieval Latin). The course will also include an introduction to available grammars and dictionaries for the preferred type of literature, as well as an orientation to critical editions of the aforementioned texts.
