Cross-listed: Medieval Studies

This course aims to introduce students to the rich traditions of postclassical Latin literature. Readings will consist of excerpted texts spanning a wide range of styles, in both poetry and prose, from the period of Late Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages (ca. 500-1500 CE). Students may encounter selections from Boethius, the Carmina Burana, and Petrarch, among other authors and texts. The course will also provide students a chance to explore concepts and disciplines integral to the study of Medieval Latin, such as textual transmission, paleography, and the cultural history of the Middle Ages. The class is designed for students with two semester of college Latin or the equivalent; no experience with medieval literature required.
