Sets of exercises for students of the classical liberal arts
These are sets of exercises, not lectures. They aid the study of grammar, logic, rhetoric, music, mathematics, and chant with examples and practice, and they keep the traditional names and questions in view while the student works.
The three roads: grammar, logic, and rhetoric
The art of putting words together rightly, from the letter to the sentence, in English and Latin.
Enter ⟶The grammar of Homeric Greek, for reading the poems as they were made.
Enter ⟶Exercises in scholastic logic: predicables, categories, propositions, syllogisms, dialectic, and fallacy.
Enter ⟶The art of persuasion, carried beside the syllogism: the enthymeme, and the hidden premise brought into the open.
Enter ⟶Number, figure, harmony, and the heavens
Number considered in itself, before it is applied to figure or to sound: the even and the odd, and the kinds of multitude.
Enter ⟶Music treated as a liberal art, not as a trade.
Enter ⟶A set of exercises for Byzantine liturgical chant: reading, following, and singing the score.
Enter ⟶An introduction to Euclidean geometry: magnitude at rest, and the figures that follow from it.
Enter ⟶Magnitude in motion: the measure of the heavens, and the ordered courses of the stars.
Enter ⟶Alongside the liberal arts, for extra drill
