  Literae Humaniores - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Literae Humaniores is the name given to the study of Classics at Oxford and some other universities.
The name means literally "more humane letters", but is perhaps better rendered as "Advanced Studies", since humaniores has the sense of "more refined" or "more learned", and literae means "learning" or "liberal education".
The Oxford University classics course – also known as "Greats" – is divided into two parts that last five terms and seven terms respectively, the whole lasting four years in total.

The Centre was established at the beginning of the academic year 1995/6 with the aim of bringing together individuals and projects not only in the Faculty of Literae Humaniores at Oxford but also in other faculties and institutions concerned with the study of ancient documents in the widest sense of the term.
We are interested in literary as well as strictly 'documentary' texts; and although our main focus is on the Classical world, we hope and intend to create and maintain links with those working on documents in other languages from the ancient Mediterranean and the Near East.
The Centre for the Study of Ancient Documents forms a unit within the Faculty of Literae Humaniores at Oxford.

 Literae Humaniores | KTAB World Factbook   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Literae Humaniores is the most pompously-titled degree course in all academia, even once you have surmounted the initial barrier that it is in Latin.
In English, it means ‘the finer writings’, which, apart from still being pretty supercilious, implies that most of said works comprise Latin and Greek written several thousand years ago.
New Mods will involve fewer texts and fewer papers, but probably the same amount of post-exam drinking.

The Regal Period in Augustan Literature (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1996) 269 pp.
Fox's book is part of the Oxford Classical Monograph Series and, therefore, is based on a doctoral thesis in Literae Humaniores.
Like most dissertations, published or unpublished, it is a mixed bag: there are some perceptive formulations and insights, while other parts of the discussion fall short of that standard.
