I am in firm agreement with the essential nature of medieval Latin for any and
all serious scholars of the period. But more than a few of us (graduate
students) are finding it harder and harder to acquire the language. McGill
University, one of the largest schools in Canada, allowed its sole Latin
specialist who could teach medieval Latin to retire two years ago. She has
not, and likely will not, be replaced. In fact, rumour has it that the entire
Classics department will disappear. Self-taught medieval Latin is a Herculean
task. Any and all sources to aid the process would be appreciated. Regards,
Terry
