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 course aims to study the textual tradition of some exemplary works, with special regard to the works of Dante Alighieri. The course will teach the basic principles of textual criticism and Lachmann's method. Students will analyze the critical editions of some works by Dante Alighieri. Exercises will be conducted directly on handwritten witnesses working on the classification of manuscripts and on the constitution of the text in its individual stages. At the end of the course, the student will learn: 1) how to transcribe a manuscript and produce a diplomatic edition; 2) how to distinguish between errors and variants and to classify witnesses on these bases; 3) how to read a critical edition and to understand its apparatus with special regard to the main textual problems; 4) how to acquire autonomy in understanding and interpreting the text.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Knowledge of the origins of Italian literature and of the Latin language.
Program
The course is divided into three steps:
1) Lachmann method
2) The textual tradition of Dante's works (Epistles)
3) Dante's third letter to Cino da Pistoia
Bibliography
Didactic methods
The course will consist of lectures during which students will work directly on the reproductions of manuscripts of Dante's works, learning how to: (1) transcribe them; (2) recognize errors; (3) prepare a critical text.
Students will be stimulated by the teacher to intervene in the first person and to face directly the problems connected with the preparation of the text.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam is oral
Evaluation criteria
The exam consists of two questions:
1. Discussion of a general issue concerning the textual tradition of Dante's studies in connection with Dante's life.
2. Discussion of a particular issue concerning the textual tradition of Dante's letters. Students must explain the proposed issue by showing that they can apply the knowledge they acquired.
Non-attending students must also illustrate the content of one of the articles agreed with the teacher.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
