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
At the end of the course students should be able to critically tackle the examination of a text in “tradizione d’autore” both through comparison of various critical editions and through direct examination of printed and manuscript testimonies.

Critical thinking skills
Students should acquire sufficient skills to evaluate the textual and representational choices of previous editors, in the perspective of the production of 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.

Contents

In the workshop of Petrarch’s Canzoniere (=6 ECTS).
The question of macro- and micro-textual drawing up of the Canzoniere’s redactions (from the earlier autographs down to the final form of the book) will be tackled. Having delineated this reference framework, students will be called upon to tackle an examination of the tradition and variants of one single lyric, assessing editors’ and critics’ interpretations through the study of autographs.
