Description

In this unit we’ll be reading and discussing selections form William of Rubruck’s Itinerarium fratris Willielmi de Rubruquis de ordine fratrum Minorum, Galli, Anno gratiae 1253 ad partes Orientales.

We’ll be reading through the Latin text throughout the term, while discussing it in a Q&A mode in Latin during the weekly seminars. Outside the weekly class, participants will be expected to read sections of the text themselves, with email support. Experience in spoken Latin is highly desirable and students should be aware that the seminars will be conducted in spoken Latin, at a level appropriate to the participants.

Classes will be offered via Zoom. You’ll need decent internet, and preferably a headset or microphone and relatively quiet workspace.

Time: Sundays 8pm, US Eastern (Daylight) Time, starting October 3rd (2021).
