Learning Objectives
The course contributes to achieving the learning objectives of the Degree course in Philology, linguistics and literary traditions, and aims at consolidating and broadening the knowledge and philological methodologies acquired in the undergraduate degree course, also in preparation for both doctoral programme or possible employment with publishing houses, public and private institutes of culture and research or cultural/academic foundations.
Skills
At the end of the course students should be able to make philological analysis and critical interpretations of particularly complex original and humanistic mediaeval texts such as those featuring author variants, letters, humanistic commentaries on classical authors and scholastic annotations.
Critical thinking skills
Students must acquire such abilities as to be able to produce a critical edition of a brief mediaeval or humanistic text with a tradition characterized by a low number of testimonies.
Communications skills
Students must know how to present philological problems clearly, in appropriate language, to specialised/unspecialised audiences, so as to foster profitable interdisciplinary synergies with scholars from other fields of study.
