Description
The Warburg Institute’s Italian Palaeography course is designed to help students analyse handwritten vernacular textual sources for the Renaissance and Early Modern period. Students will be introduced to the basic principles of palaeography and the key scripts used to produce manuscripts and documents in Italy between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries, with an emphasis on developing the necessary skills to accurately transcribe unseen texts.
No previous training in palaeography is expected, but students should have a solid grasp of modern Italian grammar and vocabulary and, ideally, some familiarity with Renaissance Italian.
If you are unsure of your level of proficiency in Italian you are advised to complete and return the language level exercise before booking the course. Click here to download the test.
This course does not award CATS credits, but students will be able to take a mock and final exam, and receive feedback, in late spring or early summer 2025, dates tbc. The exam will be taken online at home and not under "exam conditions".
