PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year. Therefore, students who undertake an activity in an academic year in which they are not enrolled will not be granted CFU credits.

Learning objectives

The module intends to enable the attending students to date, read, interpret and examine the main forms of manuscript testimonies in the Latin alphabet (libraries, documentaries, epigraphs) of the classical age, the late antique, the Middle Ages and the early modern age.

Prerequisites and basic notions

A good knowledge of Latin is required.

Program

The course includes the illustration of the salient moments in the history of Latin writing, from the centuries. VII-VI BC to the 15th century. In relation to them, some particularly significant concrete case studies will be presented, within which the paleographic investigation will intersect problems of philology, of the manuscript tradition of the Latin classics, of the history of libraries between the Middle Ages and Humanism, of the history of illumination. In particular, we will illustrate: • the writings of Roman civilization and late antiquity • the graphic particularism of the early Middle Ages • the Carolingian graphic reform • the secular graphic culture in the 12th and 14th centuries • the writings of Petrarch and Boccaccio • humanist script, especially from the Florentine, Venetian and Roman areas. The course will enhance the manuscript and archival resources of the Verona area, in collaboration with local libraries and the State Archives, and in coordination with the activities of the Laboratory of Medieval and Dante Studies

Bibliography

Visualizza la bibliografia con Leganto, strumento che il Sistema Bibliotecario mette a disposizione per recuperare i testi in programma d'esame in modo semplice e innovativo.

Didactic methods

The following teaching methods will be adopted during the course: - frontal lessons, with detailed illustration of the theoretical topics of the course - frequent reading exercises (in the classroom) of facsimile documents and manuscripts - presentation of concrete case studies - optional independent reading exercises by part of the students (the materials will be uploaded to Moodle) - individual exercises by the students on a single case study, to be agreed with the teacher in view of the exam (see below) - lesson-workshop at the Verona Civic Library, with live illustration of manuscript materials - two seminars outside of normal hours (in collaboration with the Laboratory of Medieval and Dante Studies), in which scholars will be invited to illustrate ongoing research. The Moodle platform will be used as an archive for slides and materials used in lessons; Furthermore, students will find here indications of useful resources available online.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam is divided into two parts: 1. Individual written exercise, to be agreed with the teacher 2. Oral exam The exercise has two options: a) transcription and paleographic analysis of an archive document; b) description of a manuscript, with transcription of a part of the text. Students will be able to propose documents/manuscripts of interest to them, to be used for theses in paleography or similar disciplines. The oral exam aims to verify: • the knowledge of the theoretical topics • the acquisition of the specific terminology of the discipline • the ability to read and analyze the typologies of writing, also through the discussion of the individual exercise. Contents and methods of evaluation of the oral exam (out of thirty): • discussion of the exercise 10 pts. • theoretical question on the program 10 pts. • extemporaneous reading and paleographic contextualization of a 10 pt facsimile document/manuscript. The exam methods are the same for attending and non-attending students.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The following will be assessed: – ability to discursively organize the knowledge acquired; – ability to critically reflect on the study carried out; – quality of presentation and competence in the use of specialist vocabulary. The vote will be expressed out of thirty
