SUMMARY:TLL Summer School in Latin Lexicography
DESCRIPTION:The Thesaurus Linguae Latinae Institute invites applications fo
 r its annual Summer School in Latin Lexicography, scheduled to take place i
 n Munich from July 28 to August 1, 2025. We welcome participation by resear
 chers at any stage in their career whose work engages with ancient Latin vo
 cabulary. In addition to classical philology, relevant disciplines include 
 ancient history, epigraphy, linguistics, literary and textual criticism, me
 dieval and Renaissance studies, philosophy, and theology. The program invol
 ves three types of activity. First, seminars and related exercises address 
 Latin lexicography in general, the methods and format of the TLL, and non-c
 anonical text corpora (e.g. ancient grammarians, inscriptions, the Vetus La
 tina Bible translation). Secondly, participants collaborate in the producti
 on of a short lexicographic entry that will be published in a forthcoming f
 ascicle (lemma to be determined). Lastly, there is daily time for participa
 nts’ own research in the Thesaurus Archive, supported by advice from resear
 chers at the dictionary. However, the time for independent research is limi
 ted, and we encourage researchers with more extensive projects to plan a lo
 nger stay. The Thesaurus Linguae Latinae Institute is home to the world’s m
 ost comprehensive record of the Latin language (ca. 600 BCE to 600 CE), con
 sisting of over ten million handwritten slips, and a world-class library of
  editions, commentaries, and relevant reference material. Many editions are
  annotated with systematic cross-references to recent discussions of indivi
 dual words in scholarly journals and other publications, as well as annotat
 ions from former owners and specialists (e.g. Eduard Fraenkel, Wilhelm Hera
 eus, Eduard Norden, Eduard Wölfflin). The Archive also contains all the unp
 ublished material for the TLL Onomasticon, a record of all proper names and
  their derivatives (e.g. Homerus, palatium). The Bavarian Academy also hous
 es the Mittellateinisches Wörterbuch and is not far from the Bavarian State
  Library, the Ludwig Maximilian University, and the German Archaeological I
 nstitute. The workshop begins at 9:30 am on July 28. Daily activities typic
 ally run from 9:30 until roughly 5:00pm, with some optional evening excursi
 ons. Participants are responsible for their own housing; occasional refresh
 ments will be provided. The language of group instruction is English, but o
 ne-on-one support is available in Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spani
 sh. Applications must be received by February 28, 2025 by email to summersc
 hool@thesaurus.badw.de. Applications should include a curriculum vitae and 
 a one- to two-page Statement of Benefit. The Statement should describe one 
 or more words that you plan to investigate (whether or not they have been p
 ublished already in the TLL), why they are important for your research, and
  what questions you hope to address during your stay. It is important to sh
 ow familiarity with existing lexicographic resources. There is only space f
 or fifteen participants, who will be notified by March 15.
