L-OR/01 - HISTORY OF ANCIENT NEAR EAST
Period
Sem 1A dal Sep 23, 2019 al Oct 31, 2019.
Learning outcomes
The course is meant as an introduction to the study of a complex culture where writing had its origin, and various expressive forms were created – such as mythological compositions, devotional and wisdom literature, heroic and historiographic narrative, etc. The wide spectrum of Near Eastern literatures includes different languages spoken in the various areas where cuneiform script spread and was used since the III millennium BC. Phenomena of transmission are evident in contemporary and successive cultures during the II and I millennia BC. The course aims at providing a general introduction to the genres and main literary works of Near Eastern literatures with particular reference to the Mesopotamian (Sumero-Akkadian) tradition and to illustrate the contexts of production and reception of the most representative texts, the dynamics of their transmission, canonization and innovation. Through the illustration of the characteristics of Sumero-Akkadian literature and its relationships with other cultures, the course also provides an important complement to the study of ancient literature of the Mediterranean area.
Program
The course is organized in two parts. The first consists of a general introduction to Syro-Mesopotamian history, from III to I millennium BCE, from the perspective of scribal and literary activity and production, and of the development and spreading of the Sumero-Akkadian literary tradition. The second part focusses on a major and emblematic literary work: the Gilgamesh epic. The lessons are devoted to illustrate and analyse the various texts and redactions of the tales that were composed on Gilgamesh from the beginning of the II millennium BC - in Sumerian - till the unitarian and most complete redaction in literary Babylonian, which dates from the first half of I millennium BCE. Selected examples of themes and language of the various redactions, as well as their spreading beyond Mesopotamia are illustrated and commented upon.

Linguistic training CLA
Double Degree
The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.
Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.
The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
