Learning outcomes

Overall, the two teachings - introductory and advanced - aim to provide the student with the skills necessary to orient themselves independently in a problem of medieval history. In the introductory course, therefore, the teacher underlines some aspects that will be then deepened and recalled in the progress course. During the advanced course, a direct analysis of medieval sources and documents is foreseen (translated into Italian).

Program

From the analysis of the programs of the two teaching units, described below, it is clear that the theme of the advanced course emerges as the introductory course proceeds.
