Learning objectives

The introductory course of Medieval History pursues the objective - shared with other teachings of the historical area - to enable the student to critically evaluate a historical testimony, placing it in the spatial and temporal coordinates of the European Middle Ages. The aim of the advanced course of Medieval History is to guide the student to the critical analysis of historical sources and to develop his / her capacity to analyze a historical problem in its complexity. Overall, the two courses - introductory and advanced - aim to provide students with the necessary skills 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).

Prerequisites and basic notions

Students are required to possess high-school-level knowledge of the Middle Ages and demonstrate curiosity about the past in its many aspects.

Program

After a brief introduction addressing general issues related to the Middle Ages (periodisation, national traditions, historical sources and their typologies), the course will touch on the following topics.
- Late Antiquity and the Spread of Christianity
- The early medieval West and its kingdoms
- The Byzantine and Islamic Mediterranean
- Carolingian Europe
- The Post-Carolingian Age and the “Feudal Society”
- Church Reforms
- The Empire and the Papacy in the Late Middle Ages
- Political Orders of the Late Middle Ages
- Economy, Society and Culture in the Late Middle Ages
This course may include lectures by experts; educational trips are planned, and all organisational aspects will be communicated to attending students.

- G. Sergi, L’idea di medioevo. Fra storia e senso comune, Roma, Donzelli, 2005.

Teaching materials relating to the topics covered in class will be made available through the university e-learning platform; these materials are intended to be an integral part of the exam program and do not in any way replace the study of Sergi's essay, one of the manuals and at least one of the essays of your choice uploaded to the Moodle of the course.
