Learning Objectives
The course aims to provide basic notions related to the transmission of texts (manuscripts and printed) and their philological analysis. Several philological methodologies will be illustrated, with special attention to the methods of Lachmann and Bédier and how they were applied to some works of Italian literature from the Medieval period until the modern age. Some lessons will be devoted to the authorial philology.
Program
The course will be divided into two parts:
1. an overview of some disciplines directly related to philology, such as paleography and codicology; basic notions about the text transmission (manuscripts and printed texts), about Lachmann's method (its characteristics and application), and that of Bédier; notions of authorial philology;
2. the last part of the course will analyze some significant case studies of Italian literature to teach the students how a critical edition is produced from the census of the survived testimonies to the establishing of the text and the apparatus.

Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
Students are to show possession of mastery of basic knowledge about the genesis and the functioning of the stemmatic method, with particular reference to the stages of recensio, collatio, eliminatio codicum descriptorum and constitutio textus, including the creation of critical apparatus and eventually of the apparatus of sources.
-Students are to demonstrate an understanding of concepts and theories learned during the course and discuss the main limits of the stemmatic method. They are supposed to know and use alternative methods to produce a critical edition. He/she has to be able to analyze the case study proposed in class concerning the problems faced by publishers in connection with the applicability of the stemmatic method.
- Students have to achieve the ability to use knowledge and concepts that allow them to proceed according to the logic of the discipline. In particular, they also have to become able to analyze and interpret literary texts on a philological basis, read modern critical editions, and be able to produce new ones. Students are also required to know and use the main bibliographical entries of the discipline.

- They will give rise to evaluations of excellence: the student's possession of good critical and in-depth skills, the ability to connect the main topics dealt with in the course, and the use of appropriate language concerning the specific nature of the discipline.
- They will give rise to discrete evaluations: the student possesses a mnemonic knowledge of the contents, a relative critical capacity and connection between the themes dealt with, and the use of an appropriate language.
- They will give rise to sufficient evaluations: the achievement of minimal knowledge on the subjects dealt with by the student, even if there are some training gaps; the use of inappropriate language.
- They will give rise to negative evaluations, such as difficulty in orientation of the student concerning the topics dealt with in the exam texts, training gaps, and inappropriate language.
