Learning outcomes
The course of Greek Philology aims to foster a philological approach to the texts of ancient Greek literature through (a) the study of their formal structures as related to different literary genres and interactions thereof, (b) ancient exegesis, and (c) the manuscript transmission of texts, so that students can develop in-depth critical and interpretive awareness. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to critically rework the knowledge they gained, and to explain the results achieved in an appropriate linguistic and argumentative form.
Program
DEMOSTHENES AND HIS COMMENTATORS: FROM THE TIME OF AUGUSTUS TO THE BYZANTINE AGE
N.B.: (1) knowledge of ancient Greek at university level is required; (2) any programs for non-attending students will be agreed with the lecturer; (3) attendance of the workshops "Books and writings of the Greek world" (3 CFU F), which will also focus on Demosthenes' papyri and medieval manuscripts, is strongly recommended; (4) classes will be taught in physical presence, recordings will be available for not less than 1 month on the Moodle platform; (5) please check regularly the rules for accessing the University premises on https://www.univr.it/info-covid .
The module aims to analyse the history of the corpus of Demosthenes' orations and that of his commentaries, in particular the exceptional Berlin papyrus preserving the commentary on the 'Philippics' (P. Berol. 9780) attributed to Didymus the 'Chalcenter' who lived in the early imperial age. The research will take into account the lexicons into which Demosthenic exegesis has made its way (e.g. papyrus fragments, the 'Lexicon of the Ten Orators' by Harpocration, the medieval lexicon of Patmos) and the extensive commentaries preserved in the margins of medieval manuscripts (scholia), but it will also make use of works dedicated to or inspired by the greatest orator of the classical age (e.g. the treatises of Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Plutarch's 'Life of Demosthenes', Hermogenes' manuals of rhetoric).
The critical reference text will be that of M. R. Dilts (vols. I-IV, Oxford 2002-2009; the 'Philippics' in vol. I) for Demosthenes and that of L. Pearson and S. Stephens (Stuttgart 1983, Teubner series) for Didymus: all the relevant material will be provided by the lecturer via the Moodle platform.
It is advisable to purchase (1) an edition of the 'Philippics' and other selected orations with translation, for example the BUR by Ilaria Sarini (https://bit.ly/2UJYisy); (2) 'Introduzione all'oratoria greca', by Matteo Pellegrino, Roma, Carocci 2021.

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!
