William Sanders Scarborough (1852–1926), the son of an enslaved woman and a freedman, was a pathbreaking African American Classical scholar and public intellectual. Scarborough’s scholarship included philological works on Greek and Roman authors, as well as studies of African languages and African American folklore. His First Lessons in Greek (1881) was the first foreign language textbook by an African American author. He taught at Ohio’s Wilberforce University and Payne Theological Seminary, serving as Wilberforce’s president from 1908–1920. At least twice in his life (1886 and 1896), Scarborough hoped to attend the American School, with the encouragement of the School’s Managing Committee. Lack of funding, coupled with his many professional responsibilities, kept Scarborough from realizing his dream of going to Greece.

Texts, Manuscripts, Editions: Greek Palaeography, the Transmission of Texts, and Textual Criticism

2025/2026 Winter-term (November through January) hybrid, non-credit seminar

The course is an introduction to post-classical Greek book culture (4th – 16th c. CE), the study of Greek literary scripts from Late Antiquity to the Renaissance, the transmission history of Greek texts, and the theories and techniques of textual criticism. Students become acquainted with the history of books, the contexts and agents of their production, the history of libraries, manuscript collections, and early printed books, and the transmission of Greek classical literature as well as post-classical, patristic, and Byzantine literature. Unlike the Gennadius Medieval Greek Summer Session which includes some rudimentary introduction to Greek scripts, this seminar provides in-depth training in reading and dating different scripts, as well as in studying textual transmission, and in editing ancient, medieval, and early modern Greek texts.

There is no need to have taken the Gennadius Medieval Greek Summer Session to apply for this course. A minimum of four semesters of Ancient Greek (or equivalent) is required.

DEADLINE: April 15, 2025

Deadline: January 31, 2025
