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 of 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
In addition to the knowledge of the topics in the syllabus, by the end of the course students should be able to critically tackle the examination of a text in “tradizione d’autore” through direct examination of printed and manuscript testimonies.

Critical thinking skills
Students should acquire sufficient skills to produce a critical edition of a brief text in “tradizione d’autore”.

Communication Skills
Students must be able to expound philological problems, clearly and in an appropriate language, and communicate them to both specialist and non-specialist audiences, so as to foster profitable interdisciplinary synergies with scholars working in different fields.
