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 program is divided into two parts:
1) The textual tradition of Dante's Epistles
2) The Epistle to IV to Moroello Malaspina
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 question relating to the textual tradition of Dante's Epistles in relation to biography.
2. Discussion of a particular case study relating to the tradition of Dante's epistles, to be illustrated and justified by showing ability to apply the knowledge acquired. Non-attending students will also have to illustrate the content of one of the articles agreed with the teacher.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
Each of the two questions weighs 15/30 on the final evaluation (with possible honors). For non-attending students, each of the three questions weighs 10/30 on the final evaluation.
