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. De grootse taal van Rome kon het makkelijk stellen zonder dat pietluttige woordje. Toegegeven, het kan soms nuttig zijn om aan te geven dat je een specifiek object op het oog h…[Read more]

Renaissance / Early Modern Studies on Humanities Commons 5 years agoMet de wereld op stelten is het tegenwoordig niet evident om van de mediterrane zon te genieten, al moet het weer in de Lage Landen de laatste jaren niet veel meer onderdoen.
