The Anthologia latina: history and features of a poetic collection (Ordinario)
Prerequisiti
The course requires a solid kwoledge of Latin language. The course can be attended by students of all years of study.
Programma
The course will focus on the poetic collection known as Anthologia latina, illustrating its characteristics, content, origins and formation, and editorial history, and addressing the main issues related to its history and transmission. We will therefore seek to define the historical and cultural circumstances that led to the compilation of this collection in late antiquity, and in particular we will examine the manuscript tradition of the work, with special reference to its most important witness, the so-called Codex Salmasianus.
We will then proceed to a detailed reading of some selected poems from the Anthologia Latina, varied in genre and typology, focusing on the main exegetical and philological issues raised by them.
Obiettivi formativi
The educational goals of the course are: development of critical awareness about methods and instruments of Latin philology and their practical use; development of the critical capacity to present and discuss research contributions in the field of Latin philology; development of the capacity to present in an effective way the state of the art of a critical problem inherent to Latin philology, and to expose the results of one's research with precision and clarity, both in written and oral form.
