Learning objectives
The workshop aims to provide the essential tools in order to address the reading, description and critical publication of documentary sources of the medieval and early-modern age.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the workshop the student will have become familiar with the elements in which the critical publication of documentary sources from the medieval and the early modern age are articulated. They will be able to confront a transcription of a document according to the most credible editorial criteria and to apply the correct structures to the description of their tradition and their reviewability, using the appropriate lexicon of the discipline. These skills will be acquired through an introductory lesson and archive tutorials coordinated by the instructor; individual work on unpublished texts and the peer to peer discussion of the work will be essential. Educational materials used during the meetings will be made available to members on the Ariel platform; students will also have the opportunity to contact the teacher both by email and during office hours.
Students unable to attend will be able to make use of the educational tools provided by the instructor on Ariel, investigate special readings proposed by the instructor to strengthen their knowledge, and of course contact the instructor both by email and during the office hours.
