COURSES MAIN TOPICS
This course deals with 3 main topics :
1. History of philological method
2. The Lachmann's method
3. Authorial philology
Classes will consist of lectures during which the course topics will be explained in detail. Students will examine different types of philological reconstructions of texts and will discuss them with their classmates and the teacher. In particular, the critical editions of some Italian classics will be examined according to the following order:
1. recognition of the manuscript tradition;
2. analysis of the stemmatic reconstruction; reading of texts and checking of the stemmata;
3. The textual tradition of Dante's works
Students will be stimulated by the teacher to directly face the problems related both to the reconstruction of the stemmata codicum and the linguistic physiognomy of the texts, so as to verify the skills acquired during the lessons.

Examination Methods
The exam is oral and consists of two questions:
1. Discussion of a question of general method concerning the different philological approaches to the text.
2. Discussion of a particular case study concerning an author or a text displayed in class: students must illustrate and justify each case showing how to apply the acquired knowledge.
Non-attending students must also display the contents of one of the articles chosen in accordance with their teacher.
For each of the two parts is attributed up to a maximum of 15/30. The sum of the score of the two evaluations will form the final mark, expressed in thirtieths. For non-attending students, for each of the three parts is attributed up to a maximum of 10/30 on the final evaluation.
