Lucia Raggetti
Comments
This course will give an introduction to the minerological materials, their transmission and evolution from the origin of writing in Mesopotamia through the golden age of Arabic scientific compendia and up to the translation of the Arabic materials in Latin and Romance languages. We will focus on the role of lists, compendia and encyclopedia in the the preservation, extension and transmission of knowledge between different cultural milieus. We will read the primary sources in translation and there will also be a series of block seminars (15 hours) in which the Arabic texts will be read in the original language. close
