Title of the course: Developments of monasticism in the early Middle Ages: the monastic writings of Isidore of Seville.
Description: First of all, the course aims to describe, in outline, origins and types of the monastic phenomenon - notoriously one of the most characteristic expressions of the religious and cultural history of the Middle Ages -, and then to analyze, with particular attention to the vocabulary and the use of sources, the Regula monachorum of Isidore of Seville, a text so far little studied, but due to one of the greatest authorities of medieval culture. - As part of the module will also be activated exercises designed to guide the knowledge and use of the main electronic resources for the study and research on the Latin authors of the Middle Ages.
