L-FIL-LET/15 - GERMANIC PHILOLOGY
Period
I semestre (Lingue e letterature straniere) dal Sep 26, 2022 al Dec 23, 2022.
Learning objectives
The course is an introduction to Germanic Philology and it aims at providing basic knowledge on multi-disciplinary topics such as codicology, paleography, textual criticism, cultural history, and historical linguistics characterizing the discipline (including basic knowledge for the digital treatment of texts and manuscripts). Expected Outcomes At the end of the course the student will have to prove: - to have acquired basic knowledge of methodologies and cultural contents which are necessary to analyse and interpret the literary traditions of Germanic areas; - to have acquired proficiency in the specialized vocabulary related to every field of the discipline; - to have acquired basic knowledge of the different specialized fields of Germanic Philology, mainly focussing on medieval history of books (also treated with the support of Digital Humanities tools and methodologies) according to the objective of the study programme.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Knowledge of a modern Germanic language (English, German or a Scandinavian language) is advisable.
Program
The course will offer the basics for the study of the interdisciplinary aspects of Germanic Philology, dealing with old Germanic cultures (in the Roman epoch and the Middle Ages), comparative linguistics of the Germanic languages, manuscript studies (palaeography, codicology, book history) and a survey of textual criticism and the editions of texts of vernacular Germanic traditions.
The course will be divided into three modules.
The FIRST MODULE represents the general introduction to the course. It will treat the common features of old Germanic cultures, that is
1. Comparative analysis of the Germanic languages (compared to other Indo-European languages and to each other).
2. Features of the pre-literate Germanic culture (through the witnesses of classical authors and of the archaeology), that is society and law, religious beliefs, poetic traditions.
3. Conversion to Christianity and the development of written linguistic variants.
In the SECOND MODULE, the manuscript culture in written Old Germanic variants (Biblical Gothic, Old/Middle English, Old/Middle High German, Old Icelandic) will be treated, through relevant instances of manuscript books from these areas. The tenets of ecdotics (comparative-genealogical method vs material philology) will also be surveyed.
The THIRD MODULE will consist of the philological interpretation of a choice of texts in the Germanic vernacular languages, of which will be considered
1. Manuscript tradition
2. Language
3. Contents
4. Critical editions and the related methodologies.
The selected texts are:
1. Old English – Deor (ms: Exeter Book)
2. Old Icelandic – The Hel-ride of Brunhild in the Poetic Edda (mss: Codex Regius, Flateyjarbók).

Evaluation criteria
The exam aims both to assess the knowledge acquired during the course and the ability to address the topics and establish connections among them. The evaluation will also concern the correct presentation as well as the appropriate use of the technical language of philology.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final assessment is expressed out of 30/30 (min. 18/30) and it is to be understood as an overall evaluation of the achieved results.
