    legere (lat) to read => lectura (lat) the reading event => lecture (en) => lecturer (en) a person giving/hosting a reading event.

    A lecturer is supposed to read the text of a book to students so that they are able to write it down and obtain a copy of it for themselves.

    Books written by professional scribes are incredible expensive, and this new thing they established in Bologna in 1088 – the so called “universities” offering lectures will be a major breakthrough in the history of mankind to distribute knowledge!

    Good to know some professors still honour the only true way of teaching.
