Post-Classical Language Workshops
Koine Greek and Medieval & Renaissance Latin
The Collegium Institute organizes these weekly workshops as convivial forums in which the studiosi of the University City community gather to translate and discuss seminal Greek and Latin texts of the post-classical period.
Post-Classical Latin Workshop
This workshop convenes graduate students and scholars of our university community in an informal, convivial setting to practice our skills of translation (and sometimes paleography) and to enjoy reading post-classical Latin texts together. This Spring, we will begin with Abelard’s Historia Calamitatum, and participants will decide together the texts for the rest of the semester.
This is a hybrid workshop, taking place in person at Penn and via Zoom. For location, link, and/or electronic copy of the texts, please email Kate Whitaker at kwhitaker@collegiuminstitute.org
Spring 2024 Time & Dates: Mondays from 4:00pm–5:00pm ET, beginning January 29th, 2024
Koine Greek Workshop
This weekly reading group is open to Koine Greek learners of all levels who want to read Biblical and Patristic texts in their original language. It is moderated by Professor Jay Treat of the University of Pennsylvania’s Religious Studies Department. For the Spring 2024 semester, we will begin reading John Chrysostom’s homilies on the Gospel of Matthew.
This workshop is held virtually via Zoom. If you are interested in participating, please contact Kate Whitaker at kwhitaker@collegiuminstitute.org
