Learning objectives

The course will provide the basic knowledge and skills necessary for the autonomous study of the illuminated manuscript. More specifically, the course will address diachronically the main issues and research topics related to manuscript illumination (e.g. materials and techniques, production centres and artists, functions of the illuminated book, book types and illustration systems, relationship between text and image).

Prerequisites and basic notions

Basic knowledge of medieval and modern art history

Program

The course is organized in two parts: an introductory part on the history of the miniature and a monographic part dedicated to a specific topic. Firstly, the introductory part will illustrate the evolution of the illuminated manuscript between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance from a material, stylistic and iconographic point of view. Secondly, it will show how the different typologies of illustrative scheme relate to the specific function of each illuminated manuscript. Thirdly, the introductory part will approach some research topics regarding the rise of historical study of illuminated manuscripts and the taste and collecting of illuminations in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
For A.Y. 2024-2025 the monographic part will be devoted to considering some aspects of the Carolingian illuminated manuscripts and their relationship to the ancient world.
