Course objectives

The main objective of this course is to introduce advanced students of the Middle Ages to Medieval Latin language and literature. The course is divided in two parts. At the end of its first part, students should be able to explain development of Latin language from antiquity to the Middle Ages; to describe constitutive elements of Medieval Latin (Classical, Vulgar and Christian Latin); to characterize Medieval Latin morphology, syntax and vocabulary; to use dictionaries and other tools for translation of Medieval Latin texts; to apply grammatic rules to translating of sentences and easier texts from Medieval Latin into Czech.
