Overview

Date/time interval

Primo Semestre (01/10/2025 - 31/01/2026)

Syllabus

Course Objectives

The course aims to provide the essential references relating to the history of the manuscript book, from Antiquity to the dawn of the modern age, in order to acquire the essential knowledge to analyse the material aspects of codices (shapes, dimensions, writing) according to their content and the evolution of their function over the centuries.

Course Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites, but a basic knowledge of Latin and a good understanding of the main events in medieval and modern history are useful.

Teaching Methods

Classroom lectures, tutorials, active involvement of students in laboratory activities.

Assessment Methods

The examination, in the form of an oral interview, will focus on the discussion of the topics covered in the course of the lectures; in particular, the following will be assessed: 1) an appropriate use of the specific language; 2) the ability to synthesise and analyse the topics covered during the course; 3) knowledge of the bibliography indicated in the lectures. The achievement of a critical view of the topics addressed and the mastery of the specific language will be assessed with marks of excellence (29-30 cum laude). A knowledge of the subject matter and the use of correct but not always appropriate language will lead to fair marks (25-28). Minimal knowledge of the subject matter and inappropriate language will lead to barely sufficient marks (18-24). Where serious gaps emerge, the result of the examination will be graded negatively.
