The aim of the course is the acquisition of the the tools and philological methodologies needed to analyze Dante's works from the perspective of textual criticism, focussing on their origin and initial publication, as well as with regard to their later diffusion and interpretation over the centuries, through the use of predominantly philological and literary methods.

Programme
During the course we will read Dante's 'Convivio' and we will consider some of the main issues arising in the interpretation and textual criticism of the work, beginning with an analysis of the manuscript tradition. We will examine in particular the three songs/poems which Dante comments upon in the 'Convivio', considering them against the background of the development of Dante's autobiography and thought, development which will be charted comparing passages of the 'Convivio' with extracts from the 'Rime', 'Vita nova' and the 'Commedia'.Core Documentation
