| Description | The aim of the paper is to examine the evidence that could support or rebut the claim that during his long formative stay at the court of Ferdinand II, Archduke of Further Austria, at Ambras Christopher Harant (1564-1621) learned not only Latin, which was a standard for an aristocrat of his time, but also Greek. The said evidence is formed by a few pieces of text written in Greek and a large number of references to Greek writers, both ancient and Byzantine, in Harant’s preserved travelogue from 1608. |
