*Please note that this course will run only if two or more students enroll.
Course Description: This class is an exercise in slow reading. Students are to read and translate in turn sentence by sentence from the original; then follows a detailed analysis of each passage, from the discussion of the nuances of its grammar/syntax to the assessment of its force in the context of the argument. There will be no fixed assignments; we'll go each time as far as we can, which will depend on how well the students are prepared and how much deeper than mere grammar/syntax they wish to go.
