LG560: LATIN II. Marian Steinberg.
DESCRIPTION:
- This course is an introduction to the phonology, morphology and
syntax of ecclesiastical Latin with exercises in translation. The literature
this quarter will be from Medieval writers.
RELEVANCE FOR MINISTRY:
- Translation skills are highly specialized but are not outside the
métier of the minister or researcher. Anyone involved in explicating a
life-style and thought system that is ancient is best equipped by understanding
the ancient media; one of them is Latin.
COURSE FORMAT:
- This course meets for only two hours a week. Thus considerable
outside study and preparation is expected of the students.
REQUIRED READING:
- Collins, John F. A Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin.
Washington, D.C.: Catholic University of American Press, 1985 (or latest
edition).
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Students will be responsible for translating the exercises from the
text, some orally, some in writing. Longer additional pieces will be translated
in writing. All work submitted will be assessed and graded.
PREREQUISITES:
- LG559 Latin I.
RELATIONSHIP TO CURRICULUM:
- Elective.
FINAL EXAMINATION:
- de vero.
