Unlock the mysteries and beauty of medieval psalters with the Medieval Psalter Master Course: a comprehensive, self-paced journey designed for history enthusiasts, musicians, and anyone passionate about sacred art and culture. This course immerses you in the world of illuminated manuscripts, Gregorian chant, and the spiritual and scholarly traditions that shaped Western civilization, following Cassiodorus' outline for biblically based studies in the classical liberal arts. Utilizing the manuscript arts of the Medieval period, students will learn Latin Grammar as they progress through the Vulgate Psalter. Weekly video lessons work through translating the Psalms and studying the Grammar of the Latin, alongside Gregorian chant settings for the Psalms. Ars Memoria training, something which was conducted under the Art of Rhetoric, will help you learn the techniques that allowed Medieval scholars to develop such prodigious memories and mental organizational structures. As you learn the Grammar, you will also master the Carolingian hand-script calligraphy by writing out the Psalms with the printable illuminated worksheets, as well as sharpening your artistic skills with coloring the decorated pages as you go! By the end of the program, you will have learned all 150 Psalms and the Latin Grammar with which the Vulgate was composed, and have made your own complete illuminated manuscript Psalter that's ready to bind and complete - the final lessons give tutorials for how to sew and bind your text in the medieval style, creating a priceless heirloom to crown your efforts! The course is designed for self-learners and homeschoolers ages 10 and up, and includes resources for incorporation into an academic program, such as regular quizzes with answer guides, assignment trackers, and printable worksheets.
