Mutuazione: 20702412 PALEOGRAFIA in Lettere L-10 AMMIRATI SERENA

Programme

Books, documents and writings of everyday life

The course aims to address the study of Latin and Greek writings of ancient, late antique, medieval and protomodern ages, with particular regard to their value for historical and philological studies. In this regard, both book and document writings will be examined, illustrating the genesis and historical events of all the main Greek and Latin writings (including their use for manuscripts in the vernacular). The module aims to provide an advanced preparation in the analysis of the writings, accompanied by historical and cultural knowledge useful for the correct interpretation of manuscript evidence.
This course includes both the examination of reproductions of codes and documents, and the direct examination of manuscripts, through visits to archives and libraries. Knowledge of classical languages is recommended, but not compulsory. For any particular case, an interview with the teacher is necessary.
