Provisional Order of Proceeding

After the first few weeks introducing major questions and scholarship, we will assess where the seminar members' interests are crystalizing, and start to fine-tune the remainder of the semester's program.

Nota bene! 281 students and 332 students have different reading assignments in the Latin text.
