Curricularer Anspruch und unterrichtliche Wirklichkeit: Die Verortung lateinischer Texte des Mittelalters in Lehrplänen und Lehrwerken sowie Möglichkeiten im Schulunterricht

Abstract

AbstractThe following article examines the position of medieval Latin literature within German school curricula and school books. It stresses the importance of reading and studying medieval Latin texts as a way to a more complete as well as interdisciplinary school and university education. In this respect, two possible topics for school lessons are discussed: first, medieval Latin letters as an example of continuity and reception of a literary genre; second, the comparative analysis of medieval European cartography and corresponding texts as an interdisciplinary approach to the study of medieval worldviews.
