Università Roma Tre

The first section of the course will deal with problems and methodological aspects of philological-critical work on Medieval and Humanistic texts in Latin and vernacular; the second will focus on a specific textual typology: the critical edition of marginal notes, with specific reference to the textual tradition of Ovid's works in the Middle Ages and particular attention to their presence in Giovanni Boccaccio's library. It will be considered focusing on both Boccaccio's autographed and annotated manuscripts and various typologies of annotations will be examined: traditional glosses, some interesting remarks of Boccaccio's own, such as a fairly substantial system of marginalia and some purely philological notes (reflections on the correctness of the text, identification of errors, reporting of textual variations or proposals for conjectures).
