Description
This sixteen-week online course will give students practical experience in reading handwritten Greek books from the ninth through seventeenth century. Many Greek manuscripts are now available in digitised form online and will be used as teaching material. Each class session will be supplemented with a take-home assignment: students will be expected to transcribe a short passage from a (photographed) manuscript and submit their transcription ahead of the next session. The final (closed-book) exam will itself consist of transcribing two such passages. Adequate knowledge of Classical Greek is a prerequisite for taking the course. Prerequisite: Liturgical Greek or equivalent.
