It is the language of ancient Rome, but also of the Western Catholic Church, medieval Christianity, theology, and philosophy. The language of Plautus, Ennius, Virgil, Cicero, Seneca, Tacitus, Apuleius, Lucretius, Ovid... but also of Perpetua, Tertullian, Egeria, Ambrose, Augustine, Jerome, Gregory the Great, Hrotsvita, Bernard of Clairvaux, Angela of Foligno, Francesco Petrarca, Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Leibniz...
I will help you better understand and navigate this vast and fascinating linguistic and cultural universe. We will work systematically and progressively on the language and the texts. Each session is tailored to your research project or academic deadlines. I prioritize a rigorous approach to grammar and syntax, which is essential for the precise interpretation of complex texts. Drawing on my extensive experience, I offer specialized support for exam preparation ("ENS A/L" - "Agrégation").

About Me
Agrégation in Classical Literature. Doctorate in Latin Studies. DUET (Theology).
I give
* Courses in Latin language and literature, primarily for adults—students, working professionals, or retirees—who have a basic knowledge of Latin and wish to deepen their understanding of the language and Latin texts, whether for academic or professional purposes, or simply out of personal interest. Given my specializations (Late Latin, theology, Bible), the focus may be on Latin Christian literature. Beginner students (including those in their final year of high school) are, of course, very welcome.
*Courses in Bible and theology. Through my doctorate (on a Carthusian monk), my research (on Christian Latin literature from Antiquity to the Renaissance), my education (a University Diploma in Theological Studies), and my knowledge of Latin and Greek, I have a deep understanding of the Bible and theology that I wish to share.

The course will introduce students to the Bible and the two religions it founded, Judaism and Christianity.: presentation of the Torah and “the” Christian Bible (historical, philological, linguistic, literary, and theological approaches); of Judaism and Christianity, and of what is known as the “separation of ways"; of Christian theology through a selection of works and Latin texts from late antiquity and the Middle Ages, from the Passion of Perpetua and Felicity to Nicholas of Cusa. The relationship between the two religions will be studied with particular attention: it is necessary to honor the Jewish roots of Christianity and the chronological and ontological priority of Judaism.
