Learning Objectives
The course aims to provide basic notions related to the transmission of texts (manuscripts and printed) and to their philological analysis. Several philological methodologies will be illustrated with special attention to the methods of Lachmann and Bédier and how they were applied to some works of the Italian literature from the origins until the modern age. Some lessons will be devoted to the authorial philology.
Program
The course will be divided into two parts: 1) An overview of some disciplines directly related to philology, such as paleography and codicology; basic notions about the text transmission (manuscripts and printed texts), about the Lachmann' s method (its characteristics and application) and about that of Bédier; notions of authorial philology. 2) Analysis of some of the most significant critical editions of the Italian literature from the Origins to the Modern Era. In the final part of the course, under the guide of the teacher, students will produce a critical edition.
Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
Students are to show possession of mastery of basic knowledge about the genesis and the functioning of the stemmatic method, with particular reference to the stages of recensio, collatio, eliminatio codicum descriptorum and constitutio textus, including the creation of critical apparatus and eventually of the apparatus of sources.
-Students are to demonstrate understanding of concepts and theories laid the course or argue about the main limits shown by the stemmatic method and show knowledge of alternative methods of edition. He/she has to be able to parse the text proposed in class cases in relation to the problems faced by publishers in connection with the applicability of the stemmatic method.
- Students have to achieve the ability to use knowledge and concepts which allow to procede according to the logic of the discipline. In particular, they also have to become able to analyse and interpretate literary texts under philological basis, to read modern critical editions and be able to produce a new one. Students are also required to know and use the main bibliographical entries of the discipline.

- They will give rise to evaluations of excellence: the student's possession of good critical and in-depth skills; the ability to connect the main topics dealt with in the course; the use of an appropriate language with respect to the specific nature of the discipline.
- They will give rise to discrete evaluations: the student's possession of a mnemonic knowledge of the contents; a relative critical capacity and connection between the themes dealt with: the use of an appropriate language.
- They will give rise to sufficient evaluations: the achievement of minimal knowledge on the subjects dealt with by the student, even if there are some training gaps; the use of inappropriate language.
- They will give rise to negative evaluations: difficulty of orientation of the student with respect to the topics dealt with in the exam texts; training gaps; the use of inappropriate language.
