Latin D1: Latin C1 and C2 prerequisite.—A two-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, the completion of Greek C1 will be the minimum requirement. 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 (general) 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 paleography, epigraphy, numismatics,
and archaeology. III. In Roman Life: Constructive study of Roman culture-history,
culminating in the Doctor's Dissertation; the history of classical
philology. Hours by appointment.

Professor Montgomery or Professor Lehman.

Latin D2: Latin Epigraphy: A study of the inscriptions of the ancient
Romans.
