Since 2016, CODEX member, Adrian Papahagi has been teaching the codicology course of the Diplôme Européen d’Études Médiévales (DEEM), organised in Rome by the Fédération Internationale des Instituts d’Études Médiévales (FIDEM). The Codicology course consists of ten three-hours’ meetings, dispatched along two weeks. In the first week (February 26th-March 1st), students learned the basics of codicological analysis; in the second week (March 4th-8th), they got to work with medieval codices, and prepared detailed descriptions of assigned manuscripts.
In 2024, the class comprised eight MA, PhD and post-doc students from Czechia (Prague), Germany (Erfurt), Italy (Rome, Florence, Padua), Romania (Cluj), and Sweden (Stockholm).
Many thanks to the University of Rome (La Sapienza), who hosted us during the first week of our course, and particularly to Dr Claudia Appolloni and Dr Massimiliano Lenzi, who made sure our activity at the Sapienza ran smoothly. In the second week, were delighted and grateful to work with manuscripts copied in the 9th-16th centuries in the splendid Biblioteca Angelica. We are thankful to Dr Umberto d’Angelo, director of the Biblioteca Angelica, Dr Claudia Giobbio, and to the other members of this great library’s competent and helpful staff.
