ROMANCE PHILOLOGY II - PRACTICE

Exercises: Reading the "Devisement dou Monde" in the MS Paris, BnF, fr. 2810.
A very important part of the literary tradition that is the object of studies in Humanities was transmitted, even after 1450, by manuscripts. This cycle of 10 exercises want to offer Undergraduate students the opportunity to experiment by themselves - and without the filter of a modern interpreter - what it means reading an ancient text directly from a ms. that has preserved it.
The content of the exercises is an integral part of the "Filologia romanza II" course.
