TITLE OF THE MODULE: On Augustine's fortune in the Middle Ages: the Expositio in Regulam beati Augustini attributed to Ugo di San Vittore (c. 1096-1141)

DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE: The module, of a monographic nature, intends first to retrace, broadly, the 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 use of the sources, the Expositio in Regulam beati Augustini attributed to Hugh of St. Victor, a text so far little studied, nor edited critically, but not a secondary witness of Augustine's enduring influence on the religious life of the so-called XII century rebirth. - 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.
