scholarship
disciplinae (the single branches of learning): litterae (learning, in as far as it is based on written documents): scientia litterarum or honestarum artium (knowledge of written documents, a being well versed in litterature, etc., subjective learning or learnedness: ☞ scientia, alone, would not be Latin; the same may be said of litteratura = with the ancients letters, as means of conveying anything by writing only; its acceptation in the sense of “learning” originates from an erroneous reading of Cic., Phil., 2, 45, 116; Vid: Orelli): studia (studies; of objects of learning): humanitas (cultivation of the mind, inasmuch as it is acquired by occupying one’s self with the sciences). Studies that presuppose good scholarship, studia quae in quadam varietate litterarum versantur: to acquire profound scholarship, accuratam doctrinam sibi comparare: without any scholarship, omnis oranino eruditionis expers et ignarus. He was more distinguished by his scholarship than by his dignities, clarior fuit studiis quam dignitate. A man of perfect scholarship, vir perfecta eruditione: to have or possess no scholarship, litteras nescire.
By metonymy, A maintenance for the encouragement of learning, *beneficium annuum: *annua in beneficii loco praebita, or perhaps stipendium: to present anybody with a scholarship, *aliquem or alicujus tenuitatem beneficio annuo sustentare.
