POSTPONED: Latin Lexicography Summer School 2020

Unfortunately because of the ongoing pandemic, the TLL Summer School in 2020 has been postponed provisionally to July 26-30, 2021.

The Thesaurus Linguae Latinae Institute invites applications for its annual Latin Lexicography Summer School. This year Prof. Wolfgang de Melo will be present as the scholar in residence. The program involves offers three types of activity. First, seminars and related exercises address Latin lexicography, the methods and format of the TLL, and specific challenging corpora (e.g. inscriptions, the vetus Latina Bible translation, ancient lexicography). Secondly, participants collaborate in the production of a short lexicographic entry, which will be published in a forthcoming fascicle (lemma to be determined). Lastly, there is daily time for participants’ own research in the Thesaurus Archive, supported by advice from researchers at the dictionary. The Thesaurus Linguae Latinae Institute is home to the world’s most comprehensive record of the Latin language (ca. 600 BC to AD 600), consisting of over ten million hand-written notecards, and a world-class library of editions, commentaries, and relevant reference material.
