| 英文简介 |
The purpose of this class is to introduce students to Latin hands from Roman through Humanistic times, the period in which in the west most writing was in Latin. By the end of the course you should be able to recognize and date the hands that we will study and you should be able to transcribe them accurately, recognizing scribal conventions, in particular abbreviations.
Hands, of course, have a material context, and it is important to understand manuscripts themselves, their creation, form and layout. We will also study conditions in which the manuscripts were produced, the circumstances under which they were copied and read. An important question throughout will be how the form of a particular manuscript of a text might have conditioned how that text was read.
Finally, we will consider how manuscripts have been used, in particular, to create the editions that we use in our various fields. We will discuss both the “scientific” form of critical editing typically used, for example, to produce texts of classical works. We will also discuss problems with this approach, and look at other methods that have been tried, their advantages and disadvantages. |

We will address these issues in two ways. The class as a whole will read some secondary scholarship for general knowledge and discussion. Each student will each be asked to further secondary works and to present them to the class. Class reports should be short (10 minutes) – I will stop you if you go over. They are intended to introduce the class to texts and raise issues of interest for class discussion. Reports should include a brief description of the contents of the reading assigned and should pose questions for further discussion in class.
The only way to learn to read Latin manuscript hands is by reading them. Every week we will transcribe hands from several manuscripts, partly with reference to the transcriptions made by Brown and by Muir, and partly without. I will also ask you to prepare a description of one of the pages under consideration.
