"G. d'Annunzio"
Basic knowledge of Latin grammar (morphology, syntax).
The student will be able to: 1) identify the grammatical and syntactic links present in the Latin texts; 2) to attribute to the words the exact semantic value; 3) translate the Christian Latin texts. The students are able to set an original critical discourse on a text, confronting itself with previous readings and interpretations and applying the most up-to-date translation methods.
Skills and methods to translate Christian Latin texts.
Translation exercises on prose texts belonging to different genres of Christian Latin Literature (history, acta martyrum, homily, exegesis, apologetic).
Texts, materials and photocopies will be provided by the teacher.
Lessons (8 hrs) and exercises (16 hrs). Attendance at the course is strongly recommended.
The final exam will consist in verifying the ability to: 1) identify the grammatical and syntactic links present in a Latin text; 2) to attribute to the words the exact semantic value; 3) translate a Christian Latin text. The final judgment will not take into account the results achieved by the students during the tests in itinere.
