Course contents :
|
| The main subject of this course is the life of the text in the Middle Ages, considered from both the point of view of textual tradition (i.e. historically) and that of the critical edition of medieval Romance texts (i.e. theoretically). The course will be divided into two parts. The first part, predominantly theoretical, will consider principles, problems and aporias of textual criticism. The second part, more historical, will consider the long debate on editorial techniques that took place in the 19th and 20th centuries. This debate challenged, often in a radical way, the concepts of text and textual tradition. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Analysis and interpretation of a complex textual tradition. This implies a critical consideration of scholarly edition of medieval Romance texts and awareness of the specificity of medieval Romance texts from the point of view of the restitutio textus. Full understanding of the principal editorial methods and approaches to textual criticism. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| None. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Theoretical implications of the analysis of a textual tradition, considered on the basis of examples chosen from various traditions of Romance texts. What is a critical edition? How is it read? How is it used? How is a useful and high-quality critical edition prepared? We will go into further depth with these questions by working on both old and recent critical editions of Romance texts, evaluating their use and worth. We will chiefly work on printed books and on digitisations of manuscripts available online. |
