DE SANCTIS Dino
(syllabus)
A) In the first part of the course the writing supports used in antiquity for the transmission of texts will be studied: tablets, ostraka and papyrus, as well as the parchment code that imposes itself on the papyrus in a slow but inexorable passage between the 1st and 6th centuries AD. Therefore, the phases during which this new book form has the upper hand will be analyzed: medieval scriptoria and the Byzantine culture, to move on to Humanism and the publication of the first editiones principes. B) The subject of the second part of the course will be an analysis of the preface in antiquity as a concrete test bed for a philological reflection on the texts. The teacher will analyze the main proems of Greek and Latin production in order to highlight the laws and the code of a fundamental section in literary production from ancient times to today.
