Latin D: Latin C1 or C2 prerequisite.—A three-year course for those
who desire to specialize in classical philology, especially those who choose
Latin as their major for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. If the candidate's
major be Latin, a respectable familiarity with Greek is required. If
the candidate's major be Romantic, the technical Greek requirement is
waived as far as practically possible, and he is guided into the history of
the Roman popular vernacular and into an acquaintance with the authors
illustrating the Vulgar Latin in literature. It is the aim of this course to
prepare the candidate to investigate independently the sources of our knowledge
of the language, monuments (literary and objective), and life of the
Romans. The following is, therefore, an outline of the course: I. In Language:
Elements of comparative grammar; introduction to Latin historical
grammar; systematic grammar; reading of epigraphic and literary monuments
illustrating the history of the Latin Language. II. In the Literary
and Objective Monuments of the Romans: Reading of authors in groups
systematically planned to illustrate the literary life of the Romans; history
and interpretation of texts; elements of palaeography, epigraphy, numismatics,
topography and remains. III. In Roman Life: Constructive study
of Roman culture-history; reading of authors illustrating the development
of Roman civilization; study of modern authorities in Roman culture-history.—Hours
by appointment. Professor Fitz-Hugh, Adjunct Professor
McLemore.
