19. století bych použil Bohemian lands ve státoprávním smyslu království, což univerzálně činím; pro Čechy, Moravu a Slezsko ve
20. století již patrně Czech lands, konečně pro výuku atd. v moderní době zcela vyhovuje Czech Republic. Ne vždy ale z kontextu poznám, co je myšleno. [2]Sokolskému hnutí se v hodině věnují jak KT I, tak KT II; je-li to omyl, upravit.
Annotation
The course classes, focused on the legacy Antiquity culture left Europe, also deal with trivia and topics from Greco-Roman mythology that have impacted European fine arts, literature, etc. Major focus is laid on Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque authors and works with apparent link to Latin (or generally Greco-Roman) culture. The individual topics are shown in the syllabus.
The grammar part of the topic of the "second life" of Latin language is served by a Moodle course that expands the textbook J. Kepartová - R. Skopek, Praktická iLatina (see https://publi.cz/books/494/index.html?secured=false#Cover). The consecutive course Classical Traditions I + II should make students capable of comprehending an authentic Latin text from both Classical and Medieval period (i.e. an inscription, a chronicle extract, the text of a Gospel, etc.).
