This introduction to the Latin language and literature of the late antique and medieval periods (fourth to fifteenth centuries) is designed both to introduce students to distinctive characteristics of medieval Latin and to move students toward independent work
with medieval Latin texts. Students will learn about developments in medieval Latin (morphology, syntax, vocabulary, orthography and pronunciation) and practice close reading and accurate translation of a broad and representative selection of medieval Latin
texts (literary, administrative, religious, professional, philosophical, and others). Students will also become acquainted with important stylistic features and formulaic ornamentation of medieval texts, including rhymed prose, cursus, and rhymed and quantitative
verse. The course will include an intensive review of classical Latin syntax in order bolster confidence and accuracy in comprehension and translation. Students will also be introduced to some of the tools for research with medieval Latin texts, including
lexica, bibliographies, important edited collections, and repertories of sources (printed and online) through exercises involving the use of these sources. <br>
<br>

<strong>The Troubadours and the Medieval Occitan Literary Tradition</strong></h4>

This course aims to introduce students to the lyric tradition of the Troubadours, one of the most influential literary trends of the European Middle Ages. Troubadour poetry originated in the refined courts of twelfth-century Southern France and quickly spread
across medieval Europe; by the thirteenth century many French, Italian, Spanish, Galician, Catalan and even German authors had adopted the style and the language of the troubadours. Troubadour poetics inspired the genesis of many European literary movements
of the time, such as the school of the <em>Trouvères</em> in northern France, <em>Trovadorismo</em> in Galicia and Spain, <em>Scuola Siciliana</em> in Italy, and
<em>Minnesang</em> in Germany. In order to provide students with a broad overview of the lyric tradition of the troubadours, the course will explore its most important authors (William IX of Aquitane, Jaufre Rudel, Arnaut Daniel), styles <em>(trobar leu, trobar
ric, trobar clus),</em> genres (Alba, Canso, Pastorela, Planh, Sirventes, Tenso) and themes (chivalry, courtly love, war, irony and political satire). In addition, students will be introduced to the history of the Occitan language as well as its basic linguistic
features and pronunciation. No previous knowledge of Occitan is required: English will be the language of all readings and class discussion.</p>

The Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire holds a crucial place in the history of Greek letters. Not only did Byzantine scribes forge the vital link between antiquity and modernity, but Byzantine mystics, poets, philosophers, and statesmen have left behind a vast
and varied corpus of texts expressing the diverse discourses contributing to the formation of Byzantium. In this course, students will engage this corpus through a survey of texts that is broad both in chronology (embracing texts composed from the 4th through
the 15th Century) and genre (including historiography, hagiography, theological treatises, poetry, literary criticism, and documentary sources). Beginning in the 4th and 5th centuries with Gregory Nazianzos, John Chrysostom, and Pseudo-Dionysios, we shall
encounter (among others) the writings of Maximos the Confessor, the nun Kassia, Theophanes the Confessor, Photios, Symeon the New Theologian, Michael Psellos, Anna Komnene, and end in the 14th and 15th centuries with figures such as John Kantakouzenos, Alexios
Makrembolites, and Plethon. Students will also receive an introduction to Greek paleography. <br>
