Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to enable the attending students to deal, date (according to place and time), read, transcribe, comprehend, and examine the main forms of manuscript artifacts written in Latin alphabet (both books, and charters, not neglecting the epigraphs) from the Antiquity, and the Late Antiquity, to the Middle Ages, and the Early Modern Era. The skills so learned, both on theoretical and practical side, will be very helpful for those students who, in completing their bachelor’s degree (both in literary and historical curriculum), are intended to be working with manuscript sources in their original form.

Program

The course will focus the history of the handwritings in Latin script between 6th century D.C. and 15th century A.D.

Knowledges in latin classics, roman history and medieval history are useful for attendance.

Reference books:
a) A. PETRUCCI, Breve storia della scrittura latina, Roma, Bagatto Libri, 1989;
b) P. CHERUBINI, La scrittura latina: storia, forme, usi, Roma, Carocci Editore, 2019 (Bussole, 589);

In any case the chosen book has to be integrated with A. PETRUCCI, Prima lezione di paleografia, Roma-Bari, Laterza, 2002 (Universale Laterza, 811)

Special schedules for not regular attenders have to be drawn with the teacher.
