Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

The course includes two parts .
First semester : reading of a set of Latin classical texts with a special attention to the linguistics features of the texts (revision of the essential notions of Latin grammar). It will include various exercises (translation and grammatical anlaysis).
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 Julian as seen by Ammianus Marcellinus, the satires of Juvenal.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

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, based on a grammatical analysis.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

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 LLAM). A test will be organised Mi-October giving the students a possibility of a reorientation to athe Beginner's Latin course.
