Università Roma Tre

FOUNDATIONS OF ITALIAN PHILOLOGY
The course will illustrate the fundamental elements of textual criticism (manuscript census, collation, construction of the stemma, constitution of the text and of the apparatus) drawing examples from Italian Literature. The course will focus on the methodologies of different philological schools, primarily those developed by Lachmann and Bédier, as applied to the works of Italian Literature, from the the Origins to the contemporary age. The textual criticism of autographs will also be considered.
