Course syllabus
The philology of printed texts (or textual bibliography) has different aspects and characteristics compared to the so-called traditional philology which studies texts transmitted by one or more manuscripts. Having highlighted these fundamental differences, attention will initially focus on the first printing presses, not only in Italy, and on humanistic-Renaissance book production. In particular, incunabula (15th century prints) and 16th century prints will be studied, with exercises on individual concrete cases to understand how the critical edition of a printed text published between the 15th and 16th centuries is prepared. Through the study of the evolution of printing techniques and the book market, the figure of the modern publisher will be investigated. Some lessons will be dedicated to the so-called author's philology, especially in cases where it is possible to reconstruct the evolutionary phases of a text. The last lessons will be dedicated to philology in the digital age, for the edition of born digital works. There will also be exercises on author's philology and philology in the digital age.
