Course content
|
Access and approach are determined with regard to the work of a professional historian, without exclusive narrow specialization. It reflects the significance and role of Latin with its historical realities and transformations. Following the fundamental course of the Latin language in undergraduate studies, attention is now turned to Latin medieval studies, its content and components. The basis remains practical mastery of normative Latin grammar, with an addition being the development of Latin in the post-antique period, focusing on the establishment of medieval Latin. Reference is made to the phases and stages of the development of the Latin language (vulgar, Christian, ecclesiastical, medieval Latin), to the influences of forming national languages, and beginning with the Carolingian Renaissance to the process of stabilizing language rules and creating a new norm of Latin. Latin language in the role of an international language with certain specificities regarding differences in time, place, and environment. The questions of the Latin original text, pronunciation, as well as language composition, terminology, and stylistics are included. A selection from Latin medieval literature with its many genres is optional, as well as corresponding to opportunities. Naturally, there is a possibility to refer to auxiliary scientific disciplines. On the other hand, it is not necessary to be restricted only to the Middle Ages; one can seek continuity towards humanistic literature, turn attention to later writings, to literature and inscriptions, such as baroque literature and neo-Latin texts. The starting point is textbooks didactically divided into lessons and guides with adapted texts, working with dictionaries and other aids.
