FRESSURA MARCO
(syllabus)
The course consists of an introduction to the study of written culture in the Ancient World, with particular reference to the Latin and (pre-Roman and Roman) Greek cultural milieu up to the 7th century AD. A historical, typological and archaeological framework will be traced about tools and materials in use for writing, forms of the book and document, techniques of literary and documentary text composition, with a nod also to the exposed writing practices of epigraphic and other fields. To complement the theoretical discourse, a number of exemplary written testimonies will be examined from the point of view of their forms and contents.
