Grammar
Amo –mas –mat… Medieval students had to begin
with the basics: conjugating Latin verbs. This well-worn textbook attests
to the centrality of grammar in the medieval schools. Grammar, along with
rhetoric and logic, formed the "trivium," which was the literary
component of the liberal arts curriculum that the Middle Ages inherited
from Antiquity.
