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 Romanic, 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
FitzHugh, Adjunct Professor McLemore.
