Title of the course: Elements of history of tradition and critics of the text

Description of the course: The course aims to provide students with the bases of the philological study of Greek and Latin texts and is meant to acquire the basic knowledge of the history of the tradition and of the critics of texts. The program involves the practice of composition, publication and divulgation of the ancient book and the ekdotic methos applied to the edition of the classics. The acquired abilities concerned with the manuscript tradition, the constitutio textus and the critical apparatus will be measured on the reding of Greek and Latin authors in critical edition.
The knowledge of the Latin and Greek languages is necessary.
