Learning outcomes
Intent of the course is to provide the conceptual and methodological basis needed for the analysis and interpretation of italian humanism. In order to achieve this goal, it is divided in two parts: the first is introductory – dealing with specific basic treatises of the discipline and the technical lexicon –; the second is centered on the monograph theme indicated in the program here below and consists in the reading of an important humanistic text.
Program
According to the bipartite already mentioned subdivision of the course, the general part of the program will define the characteristics and the purpose of the discipline, and the monographic part will consist in reading and commenting the “Epistola ad Mahumetem” (1461) by the humanist Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini (pope Pius II) – special attention will be given to the historical and cultural relations between the West and the East during the second half of the 15th century –.
Please, note that, in addition to the 36 class hours, a didactic visit, previously agreed with the students, will be organized to the Biblioteca Civica of Verona and to the library’s manuscript and printed treasures.
