Latin Summer School: 15 - 19 September 2014

Centre for Bibliographical History
Nil Desperandum:
ab initio intensive Latin Summer School
Monday-Friday, 15th-19th September 2014
University of Essex , Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, CO4 3SQ

For good or ill, Latin was the lingua franca of Western European civilisation for over a millennium. It may no longer be the sine qua non of a liberal education but it is certainly a perennial desideratum for scholars studying Europe’s learned culture from the Middle Ages to the later modern period. This course is for those who have become aware of the cultural significance of Latin but have not had chance to study the language intensely. It will provide a firm grounding in the subject and will also consider the position of Latin in European culture – primarily in books, but also beyond – in both the early modern and contemporary culture.

Registration Fee: £325.00 - £500.00 depending on your eligibility for discounted fees
