UPDATE: Study Materials

Okay.  I've been lazy with the study notes.  The General Grammar section of Sister Miriam Joseph's The Trivium felt particularly taxing at times.  But I'm happy to say that I have reassessed how I'll be approaching the matter.  It can be a bit difficult to track down quality guides and study materials, but I think I've found some solid sources to at least give a bit of guidance.  Here's Source #1, Source #2, and Source #3.

I'm currently only working with Source #1, but Source #2 has some really cool texts I'm eager to read. I'm on my final review of Chapter 3: General Grammar of The Trivium.  I can attest that rereading has certainly helped to embed the material much better in my mind than I would've previously thought considering the struggles I had attempting to comprehend it the first time through.

After I finish the final read of Chapter 3 I'll probably attempt a post more-or-less from memory about the basics of General Grammar: Categorematic words, Syncategorematic words, Substantives, Attributives, Copulas, etc.

As for Lycurgus, hope to have that out tomorrow.  I decided to take some extra time to re-read it since I'm finding it difficult to wrap my head around Plutarch's text.  I think I've gotten a bit more the second time around.

Well, that's all for now.  Bye!
