Le borse di studio copriranno tutti i costi di vitto, alloggio in convitto maschile, lezioni e materiale didattico per i corsi, che si terranno da ottobre 2021 a giugno 2022 nella sede dell'Accademia a Villa Falconieri (Frascati - Roma). (Il calendario potrà subire dei cambiamenti dovuti alle direttive ministeriali per il contenimento del COVID-19. In tale caso, i partecipanti saranno informati in tempo.)

Lo scopo è di raggiungere un perfetto dominio sia del latino sia del greco attraverso un'immersione totale nelle due lingue, per padroneggiare senza difficoltà i testi e i concetti che ci sono stati tramandati dall'antichità, dal medioevo, dal rinascimento e dall'età moderna, e per coltivare le discipline umanistiche con una metodologia simile a quella ch'era in uso nelle scuole dell'Umanesimo. Tutte le lezioni saranno tenute in latino, eccezion fatta per quelle di greco, che saranno tenute in greco antico.

  • (Pseudodositheana) and Their Didactic Use* Bořivoj Marek
    2017 ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE PAG. 127–152 PHILOLOGICA 2 / GRAECOLATINA PRAGENSIA THE HERMENEUMATA (PSEUDODOSITHEANA) AND THEIR DIDACTIC USE* BOŘIVOJ MAREK ABSTRACT The article presents a basic characteristic of Latin-Greek didactic texts called the Hermeneumata Pseudodositheana and, in particular, their col- loquia. It offers several examples of the colloquia with a brief commentary and an analysis focused particularly on their didactic dimension. In the second part of the paper, attention is given to the distinction between an active and passive approach to teaching classical languages from both the- oretical and practical viewpoints and to finding reference points between the method of the ancient colloquia and modern methods. In conclusion, a theoretical justification of using the colloquia when teaching Latin in a natural / direct method is presented, complemented by several sugges- tions how these texts may contribute to making Latin courses more effi- cient and attractive. Keywords: direct method of a language teaching; natural method / approach to language teaching; Hermeneumata Pseudodositheana; collo- quia; Greek and Roman school system Ego adulescentulos existimo in scholis stultissimos fieri, quia nihil ex his, quae in usu habemus, aut audiunt aut vident.1 Petron. 1, 3 Natural method and the Hermeneumata Pseudodositheana The “natural method” of teaching a foreign language can be defined, for example, in the following words: “Speech is perceived as a skill which is acquired by people intui- * This paper, dealing with the method and characteristic of the ancient teaching colloquia from a set of the Hermeneumata, is based on a part of the dissertation in progress titled “Usage of Latin Discourses in Lessons of Latin”.

  • Newsletter 2014 After Making a Saving of 400 Euros This Year, It Was Decided to Continue on the Same Path and Print Only Limited Number of Copies for the Associations
    Euroclassica Newsletter Number 22, January 2014 ANNUS HORRIBILIS: QUO VADIS, EUROPA? Dear friends of EUROCLASSICA, 2013, just ending, should be considered, no doubt, as a kind of annus horribilis for Classical Studies in Europe. As a matter of fact, I had to write letters and/or to sign petitions on behalf of our federation for at least 10 different countries: Spain, Russia Switzerland, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Greece, Ireland, United Kingdom … If things continue to move this way, I am afraid Classics will disappear from most countries in Europe in a couple of years. Latin still survives quite well in some countries; Greek instead seems to be more and more marginalised at High School nearly everywhere. If we remember the different reports offered by our delegates at the conference in Lisbon, we will guess that Greek is nearly non-existent in Europe. Even Greece thinks of removing it from secondary schools. Europe has turned back to the Dark Age of the destruction and the barbarians. Suppressing Latin and Greek from most schools in Europe means killing off Homer, Virgil, Ovid, Seneca, Cicero and many other excellent writers. Removing Classics means throwing the main roots of western civilisation on the fire. This awful phenomenon has already happened many times in History: many books were burnt, even if many others were saved and could be copied and reprinted again. Europe is lost; no ideas, no roots to fix and lean on, no outstanding individuals to lead a reaction. If we turn our minds back in time, we could think of the Medici in Firenze; money used to help artists, poets, playwrights; money given to support 1 the classical heritage of Europe.

  • Anthony Grafton Reviews 'Latin' by Jürgen Leonhardt, Translated By
    Anthony Grafton reviews ‘Latin’ by Jürgen Leonhardt, translated by Kenneth Kronenberg · LRB 8 January 2015 1/12/15 10:11 PM Back to article page Not Dead Yet Anthony Grafton Latin: Story of a World Language by Jürgen Leonhardt, translated by Kenneth Kronenberg Harvard, 352 pp, £22.95, November 2013, ISBN 978 0 674 05807 1 On 22 May 1724 James Logan, a wealthy Philadelphian fur trader, scientist and bibliophile, took a day trip with friends from London to Windsor. Big crowds accompanied them, and no wonder: they were making their way to a dramatic public occasion – a scientific counterpart to the hangings at Tyburn that drew enthusiastic spectators in droves in the same period. A solar eclipse was about to take place. Two rival astronomers, William Whiston and Edmond Halley, had predicted where it would reach totality. As he had done once before, in 1715, Halley published in advance a map of the shadow that the eclipse would project on the earth, as seen from above – a brilliant feat of visual imagination and a superb disposal of quantitative data. Whiston held that the eclipse would not be total anywhere near London. Halley, by contrast, included Windsor in the zone of totality. Who won? No one knew for certain. ‘Expecting to see the sun wholly obscured,’ Logan recalled, ‘we returned in a state of frustration. For the heavens favoured Halley, since they were covered by clouds. Still, we considered it certain that the moon did not block off all of the sun’s light, as Halley had predicted.’ Four days later, attending a meeting of the Royal Society, Logan heard Isaac Newton ask Halley to discuss the eclipse.

  • The Future of Classical Languages and the Liberal Arts
    The Future of Classical Languages and the Liberal Arts John Arnold Student, Liberal Arts B.A. Shimer College October 14, 2014 We are asked in this workshop to imagine the most productive and valuable roles that classical languages can play in the future of education. This paper will argue that the best approach to the future of classical language education will involve four el- ements: language immersion techniques, a discussion-based pedagogy, a liberal arts curriculum, and technological mediation. Entertain this example: In a class on An- cient Ethics, the reading for the day is Seneca. The students, whose number is capped at ten, sit at a round table with their professor. When class begins, the students begin a conversation with one another in Latin about how the ethical system Seneca expresses could be applied to their lives; whether they agree or disagree; etc. The professor con- tributes his or her own opinion or asks for clarification from time to time, but does not dominate the class. Grammar or vocabulary is hardly ever discussed—it is not necessary, since the students are all fluent in Latin. These are not graduate students; instead, these students began learning Latin only a year ago. Their fluency has been rapidly obtained through a combination of spoken Latin immersion and technolog- ical assistance: an online database has recorded every Latin word each student has ever encountered since beginning Hans Ørberg’s Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, and uses neurological models of memory retention to customize vocabulary reviews and marginal aids for each student. Why is this pedagogical model desirable? A strong justification can be found in Seneca: “Ceterum unum studium vere liberale est quod liberum facit, hoc est sapi- entiae, sublime, forte, magnanimum: cetera pusilla et puerilia sunt.”1 The importance of cultivating virtue and exploring the variety of human experience has always been essential to the liberal arts or humanistic study.

  • Elisabeth Ilgner
    Stephen Instone undergraduate travel report Elisabeth Ilgner Since my uncle, who is a parish priest, told me that some of his friends really spoke Latin, I have been wanting to do the same. However, I doubted that I was eligible to participate in the Feriae Latinae he suggested to me, which are based in the Vatican. Now, UCL, where I study, \that godless institution in Gower Street" (Thomas Arnold, 1795-1842), does have a society that makes its members converse with each other in Latin and offers the basics to do this. Septimana Latina was a significant part of my learning experience and I am very thankful for the Stephen Instone travel fund, which contributed substantially to my participation in the study week. The recipe for a good life, according Seneca and Co. (because it was actually Socrates' idea), is to be able to speak well: talis hominibus fuit oratio qualis vita (Ep. CXIV). I would be leading a terrible life if this were true. However, I survived a week at the Accademia Vivarium Novum in Frascati, Italy, and, I have to say, I lived rather high there. Learning to speak Latin is not more awkward than learning to speak any other language. I remember that once, in English, I thanked friends for their \hostility". (Luckily they had humour: \That's all we can provide.") The worst-case parallel in Latin would be: \Thank you for having me as your enemy." (But I did not say this, sometimes I learn from my mistakes.) To be fair, the hospitality of the community of scholars resident at the academy has perhaps left the deepest impression on me during my one-week stay.

PERELMAN INSTITUTE FOR JUDAIC STUDIES I am delighted to have the opportunity to establish this program, which will shape intellectual concepts in the field, promote interdisciplinary research and scholarship, and perhaps most important, bring Jewish civilization to life for Princeton students— Ronald O. Perelman In 1995 financier and philanthropist Ronald O. Perelman, an innovative leader and generous supporter of many of the nation’s most prominent cultural and educational institutions, gave Princeton University a gift of $4.7 million to create a multidisciplinary institute focusing on Jewish studies. The Ronald O. Perelman Institute for Jewish Studies gives undergraduate students to earn a certificate in Jewish Studies, strengthening Princeton’s long tradition of interdisciplinary studies and broad commitment to Jewish culture. The gift from Mr. Perelman, chairman and chief executive officer of MacAndrews and Forbes Inc., also supports a senior faculty position—the Ronald O. Perelman Professor of Jewish Studies—and a wide variety of academic and scholarly activities that bring together leading scholars to examine Jewish history, religion, literature, thought, society, politics and cultures.
