Learning Objectives

The teaching contributes to achievement of the learning objectives of the Degree course in Philology, linguistics and literary traditions, aiming to consolidate and broaden the knowledge and philological methodologies acquired over the three year course, with view to either proceeding towards a research Doctorate or finding work with publishing houses, public/private research and cultural institutes or cultural and academic foundations.
Skills
At the end of the course students should be capable of philological analysis and critical interpretation of particularly complex original and humanistic mediaeval texts such as those featuring author variants, letters, humanistic commentaries on classical authors and scholastic annotations.
Independence of judgement
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 circumstances and problems clearly, in appropriate language, to specialised/unspecialised interlocutors, with view to triggering profitable interdisciplinary synergies with scholars from other sectors of study
