Syllabus

Course Objectives

Instruction in Filologia classica contributes, by means of the study of the transmission of ancient texts and their critical editions, of which an exemplary case is investigated, to the the wider task of the course of study in Filologia linguistica e tradizioni letterarie to bring students nearer to the field of philological research and to a well grounded teaching. The expected learning goals are: • Knowledge of the transmission of the text in the ancient world and of its critical edition, through the most up-to-date instruments; • Skill in linking the general elements with the particular and detailed analysis of an ancient text; • Autonomy in the treating of ancient texts, enabling one also to suggest interventions on the critical structure of the text; • Skill in communicating the contents of this topic through the use of field-specific terms and lexicon.
