Lecturer :  Bruno Rochette
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Organisation and examination :  
All year long, with partial in January
Course contents :  
A series of texts illustrating a theme, a character or a classical author. Seneca, Lucretius, Titus Livy, the origins of Rome, Horatius, Seneca, Vergil, the emperor as seen by Ammianus Marcellinus. In general, a prose writer one year and a poet the next.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
To show the various audiences concerned how a commentary, whether historical or literary, can only be based on direct contact with text, hence on a precise understanding and rigorous translation.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
Good knowledge of basic Latin, i.e. the contents of a common school grammar book (or the Latin method of FAMERIE - BODSON- DUBUISSON, published by Nathan) and a vocabulary book (for instance by G. ETIENNE [approximately 2000 words]).
It should be stressed that "six years of Latin in secondary school" does not give automatic access to this course: everything depends on the student's real knowledge and his/her true capacity to mobilise it. It should also be stressed that this course is not compulsory for students in the first year of their bachelor's degree (except in classics) and there is no shame in choosing the Beginner's Latin course.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
