Raf Van Rooy deposited De Grieken, babbelziek volk! Julius Caesar Scaliger (1484–1558), lidwoordhater in the group
Renaissance / Early Modern Studies on Humanities Commons 5 years agoHet Latijn heeft geen lidwoord zoals bijvoorbeeld het Nederlands (de, het) of het Oudgrieks (ho, hē, tó), en dat vond de 16de-eeuwse humanist Julius Caesar Scaliger prima.
