Latin
The subject of Latin studies the various stages of the Latin language and the literature written in Latin. Latin was the language of ancient Rome and it was widely used in Europe for many centuries.
Research in the field of Latin at Uppsala University deals with texts from the entire period of the long and varied history of the Latin language, with a focus on antique Latin. The texts are studied from a linguistic and philological as well as from a literary and historical point of view. Two themes can be discerned:
- Research on texts from the Ancient period (ca. 600 BC–ca. 600 AD) studies linguistic issues as well as literary, philosophical and historical questions.
- Scholarship focusing on Neo-Latin (after 1500 AD) deals with both text editions and studies on the linguistic, literary and historical context of the texts.
