G.M. Cantarella, L'immortale Matilde, in Matilde e il tesoro dei Canossa. Tra castelli, monasteri e città (Catalogo della mostra di Reggio Emilia, 1 settembre 2008 - 11 gennaio 2009), Milano 2008, pp. 50-67: PDF here.
Readings/Bibliography
Students who cannot attend classes must contact the teacher in order to arrange an individual program; in any case they are meant to study this essay:
G.M. Cantarella, Sintesi di storia medievale, in Enciclopedia del Medioevo (Le Garzantine), cur. G.M. Cantarella, L. Russo, S. Sagulo, Milano (Garzanti) 2007, pp. 1647-1708,
They will also study another text/book that will be agreed with the teacher.
Teaching methods
No term papers are required, unless specifically asked by students. Foreign historiography (languages: anglo/american, french, german, castilian) will be used according to educational aims, and it will be presented step by step during the course, in order to show an up-to-date reference frame of historical investigation and historiographic achievements.
Assessment methods
An oral and very pliant examination, in order to test the critical thinking abilities and knowledges achieved during the course.
Teaching tools
We will use primary and secondaries sources that will be indicated and/or provided during the lessons.
