Course Description This course is a survey of Latin liturgical texts, primarily those found in the Missale Romanum and the Liturgia Horarum. Students practice the art of accurate and precise translation, while reinforcing their knowledge of Latin grammar and expanding their Latin vocabulary. Emphasis on facility with the more common liturgical texts gives students the linguistic aptitude to preside at the celebration of the liturgy in Latin. Prerequisite: BEL 102/502 or instructor’s approval. II. Course Rationale As the universal language of liturgy, theology, and the day-to-day business of the Church in the west, Latin continues to hold its centuries-old place as a prerequisite for the work undertaken in a theologate. “Particular attention must be given to ensure that before entering the theologate all seminarians can demonstrate that they have acquired that ‘knowledge of Latin which will enable them to understand and make use of the sources of so many sciences and the documents of the Church,’ according to the insistence of the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council” (PPF Fifth Edition, 189). III. Course Goals/Intended Outcomes Students will be able to pronounce Ecclesiastical Latin and read it aloud fluently. Students will have a solid knowledge of common Ecclesiastical Latin vocabulary. Students will be able to translate liturgical texts accurately and precisely. Students will have a familiarity with the more common liturgical texts in Latin. IV. Instructional Methods 1. Lecture 2.

  • With Motu Proprio, Discussions on Translation to Be More Local
    With Motu Proprio, Discussions on Translation to Be More Local Paul Turner With his motu proprio Magnum principium, Pope Francis has changed the future direction of vernacular translations for the Roman Catholic liturgy. During the past fifteen years, since the promulgation of Liturgiam authenticam, the Vatican held the center of gravity for approvals. Now the Holy Father has restored the vision of the Second Vatican Council, which placed the authority for translations of Latin texts into the hands of confer- ences of bishops. The International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) is composed of eleven episcopal conferences (Australia, Canada, England, Wales, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Scotland, South Africa, and the United States). by Robert Creed Photo Throughout more than fifty years of work, ICEL has proposed With Magnum principium, controversies on translations of ritual books should translations for approval by the conferences and by the Vatican. stay local.

  • Latin Spelling and Pronunciation 1 Latin Spelling and Pronunciation
    Latin spelling and pronunciation 1 Latin spelling and pronunciation Latin spelling or orthography refers to the spelling of Latin words written in the scripts of all historical phases of Latin, from Old Latin to the present. All scripts use the same alphabet, but conventional spellings may vary from phase to phase. The Roman alphabet, or Latin alphabet, was adapted from the Old Italic alphabet to represent the phonemes of the Latin language. The Old Italic alphabet had in turn been borrowed from the Greek alphabet, itself adapted from the Phoenician alphabet. Latin pronunciation continually evolved over the centuries, making it difficult for speakers in one era to know how Latin was spoken in prior eras. A given phoneme may be represented by different letters in different periods. This article deals primarily with modern scholarship's best reconstruction of Classical Latin's phonemes (phonology) and the pronunciation and spelling used by educated people in the late Ancient Roman inscription in Roman square capitals. The words are separated by Republic, and then touches upon later engraved dots, a common but by no means universal practice, and long vowels are changes and other variants. marked by apices. Letters and phonemes In Latin spelling, individual letters mostly corresponded to individual phonemes, with three main exceptions: 1. Each vowel letter—⟨a⟩, ⟨e⟩, ⟨i⟩, ⟨o⟩, ⟨v⟩, ⟨y⟩—represented both long and short vocalic phonemes. As for instance mons /ˈmoːns/ has long /oː/, pontem /ˈpontem/ short /o/. The long vowels were distinguished by apices in many Classical texts (móns), but are not always reproduced in modern copy.

  • A Key to Reading the Motu Proprio “Magnum Principium”
    A key to reading the motu proprio “Magnum principium” The new Motu Proprio Magnum principium has altered the formulation of some norms of the Codex iuris canonici regarding the translation of liturgical books into modern languages. Pope Francis has introduced some modifications to the text of canon 838 in this Motu Proprio, dated 3 September 2017 and entering into force from 1st October 2017. The reason for these changes is explained in the papal text itself, which recalls and explicates the principles which underlie translations of the Latin typical editions as well as the delicacy required by those who undertake such work. Because the Liturgy is the prayer of the Church it is regulated by ecclesial authority. Given the importance of this work, the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council had already considered the question of the roles of both the Apostolic See and the Episcopal Conferences in this regard (cf. Sacrosanctum concilium, nn.36, 40 & 36). In effect the great task of providing for liturgical translations was guided by norms and by specific Instructions from the competent Dicastery, in particular Comme le prévoit (25 January 1969) and then, after the Codex iuris canonici of 1983, by Liturgiam authenticam (28 March 2001), both published at different stages with the goal of responding to concrete problems which had become evident over the course of time and which had arisen as a result of the complex work that is involved in the translation of liturgical texts. The material relating to the whole field of inculturation was, on the other hand, regulated by the Instruction Varietates legitimae (25 January 1994).

These include: MP3 (audio) recordings of reading materials, PowerPoint presentations, MP4 (video) lectures and interviews, PDF exercises and reference materials. Course Description: This course is an introduction to the very exciting world of Ecclesiastical Latin (hereafter, EL). Our focus will be on The Vulgate Bible (Biblia Sacra Vulgata) and mastering the skill of reading it with both ease and no small measure of joy. Learning this form of Latin will unlock the world of Canon Law, Roman Catholic Liturgy, Scholastic philosophers, Gregorian Chants, Ambrosian Hymns, Papal Bulls and a whole lot more. Intended Learning Outcomes By the end of this course, you will be able to read from both the New and Old Testaments of the Latin Bible with relative ease and with much enjoyment. Being able to read, for example, the Book of Psalms or the Gospels in Latin will open your mind not only to the world all those men and women throughout history who have also read them in Latin but also to the world of those who actually wrote them: among them, St. Jerome, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, the decidedly un-saintly Abelard and his beloved Héloïse, and the list is almost endless. Structure and Sequence of Class Activities: Our course is divided into three main parts: A. Preliminaries B. Learning Tasks C.

However it willingly opened the door so that these versions, as part of the rites themselves, might become the voice of the Church celebrating the divine mysteries along with the Latin language. At the same time, especially given the various clearly expressed views of the Council Fathers with regard to the use of the vernacular language in the liturgy, the Church was aware of the difficulties that might present themselves in this regard.
