Outline
• learning:
    1. I. The act: ger. of disco v. to learn.
    2. II. Erudition, knowledge acquired:
      1. 1. doctrīna (either a separate branch of culture, or the whole collectively): thoroughly acquainted with Grecian l., Graecis d. eruditus, Cic. Br. 67, init.: adorned with every kind of l. and excellence, omni d. et virtute ornatissimus, Cic. Verr. 3, 88, init.: a man of immense classical l., *omni antiquitatis veterumque scriptorum doctrina imbutus, instructus (instructissimus): v. learned (3). (For great learning, Kr. gives, magna, multa, summa doctrina but doctrina appears not to be used to denote a quality in the best age.)
      2. 2. ērŭdītio (esp. learning as a whole, or as quality): quite without all l., omnino omnis e. expers, Cic. de Or. 2, init.: to be stored with varied l., varia e. repletum esse, Suet. Aug. 89: several volumes, marked by varied l., variae e. aliquot volumina, id. Gr. 6: a man of great l., *summa eruditione vir.
      3. 3. discĭplīna (course of study; culture): Greek l., Graecae d., Suet. Aug. 89.
      4. 4. littĕrae, arum (meton. = knowledge of literature): he possessed much l., and that of no ordinary kind, erant in eo plurimae l., nec eae vulgares [sed interiores quaedam et reconditae] Cic. Br. 76, 265: possessing no l., *cui nullae omnino litterae sunt. (Humanitas is general culture and refinement: litteratura, Cic. Ph. 2, 45, 116, is falsa lectio for litterae.)

• LEARNING
doctrina (general term as the quality of persons; also that which persons know, the thing itself): eruditio (as the property of persons, with reference to general knowledge; whereas doctrina refers rather to accurate and scientific attainments): disciplinae (single branches of 1earning, the sciences): litterae (learning, so far as it is derived from written sources): scientia litterarum or honestarum artium (knowledqe of books or litterary documents, of the fine arts; only subjectively, of the knowledge which a person possesses: ☞ It would not be good Latin to use scientia without these genitives of the object, nor to use scientiae for disciplinae: scientia means “knowledge,” and hence can never be used without something to render it more definite. In like manner, litteratura is bad Latin; it was used by the ancients only for “a writing with letters;” the signification of learning was attached to it from a false reading in Cic., Phil., 2, 45, 116; Vid: Orelii, N. cr.): humanitas (liberal education, so far as it relates to litterature and the sciences). Studies which presuppose varied learning, studia quae in quādam varietate litterarum versantur. Without any learning, omnis omnino eruditionis expers et ignarus.
