(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) Foscolo, a reader and translator of Homer
