Learning outcomes

Romance Philology is generally defined as the historico-comparative study of Romance (or Neo-Latin) languages and literatures. The fields of enquiry include late Latin, the medieval literatures of the Romance languages, historical and general linguistics, and textual criticism. The goal of the course is to train students in the basic knowledge of Romance philology.

Program

The course is designed as a general introduction, divided into three parts:
1) Textual criticism: this part will offer an overview on the main methods of editing a medieval text.
2) Romance linguistics: this section will give the basic linguistic knowledge of how the Romance languages evolved from Latin.
3) Early Romance Texts: A selection of the most representative early romance texts will be read, translated and commented during this part of the course.
