2020 Workshop Talk | 55:45 | 7-12, Academics & Curriculum, Teacher & Classroom, Latin, Greek & Language
Summary
The Confession of St. Patrick, written in fifth-century Latin, is an autobiographical work that clears away some of the mystery that surrounds this legendary figure. Beyond the three-leaf clovers and garments of green this work leads us to a wondrous story of salvation that leads both author and reader to worship. There is much we can share with our students in the message of the story and in the beautiful manuscripts that hold it. In this workshop attendees will view digital copies of ninth, tenth, and twelfth century Latin manuscripts of St. Patrick’s confession, readily available online. As we view these manuscripts we will learn how to use this online tool to frame lessons for intermediate Latin students in the reading of Latin, the beauty of Medieval manuscripts, and the power of a humble testimony.
