Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to provide the conceptual and methodological basis needed for the analysis and interpretation of italian humanism. In order to achieve this goal, it is divided in two parts:
1) the first is introductory – dealing with specific basic treatises of the discipline and the technical lexicon –;
2) the second is centered on the monograph theme indicated in the program below and consists in the reading of an important humanistic text.

Program

COURSE MAIN TOPICS
The first part (12h) of this course deals with general principles of philology and the Lachmann's method. Through the examination of some examples, students will learn how to distinguish errors from a variants and to build a stemma codicum.
The second part of the course (24h) is aimed at illustrating the particular problems found in the edition of Latin texts from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance (autographs and idiographs, author variants, editions). The reading and commentary of some significant passages of the De vera nobilitate by Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459) are expected, accompanied by an illustration of the main topics concerning the textual tradition and its dynamics; this will allow students to have direct experience of the method applicable to the critical edition of a work that presents issues typical of the transmission of humanistic texts.
