Description

In this slow-paced course, you will learn the features of Postclassical Latin by reading texts that show the state of scientific knowledge in the premodern period. We will sail with St Brendan whose exploratory journey influenced Columbus’ voyage to the Americas. We will also explore the 6-7 century encyclopedia of the Spanish scholar Isidore of Seville as well as other Latin texts about science and philosophy. For more information, contact Donka D. Markus at markusdd@umich.edu.

Course Requirements:

Grading in the course is based upon class attendance and participation, bi-weekly short quizzes, two hourly exams and a final project.

Intended Audience:

The class is as an alternative to LAT 232 (Vergil, Aeneid) and fulfills the final semester of the language requirement in Latin. The class has a graduate number (LAT 507) and graduate students are welcome. 

Class Format:
