Course contents

The present PhD programme aims at promoting the study of the cultural heritage of the Ancient world and, in particular, of the transmission of classical culture in its manifold themes and forms: the tradition of texts, documents and historical sources; the survival and recurrences of ancient art and literature; the evolution of writings and book forms.
As classical civilization constitutes the backbone of the western culture, it has deeply influenced the development of the European cultural heritage by engaging a productive dialectic between continuity and innovation in different periods and contexts.
The PhD programme provides future scholars with highly specialized and up to date research tools and methods, in order to allow students to: 1) gain a thorough knowledge of both the material and conceptual dimensions of the transmission of the Classics; 2) understand and enhance the fundamental contribution of the Middle and Modern Ages in the process of acquisition and transmission of the Ancient culture. Although interdisciplinary, the programme is focused on a well-defined issue; it seeks to give specific methodological competences in the fields of palaeography and diplomatics, philology, critical analysis of literary texts and art works, historical and art historical sources. All such skills are necessary to a proper and solid research in the tradition, reception and interpretation of the ancients from the origins to our contemporary age.
