Bibliography 2023/2024

Book and bibliography: notes for a research methodology. The course aims to provide basic knowledge of the history of printed books and the history of bibliography as well as delving into book and document indexing methods for the purposes of research and bibliographic citation. Bibliographic research exercises are planned with the aim of identifying and knowing how to use useful repertoires for scientific training and for writing the thesis. Students will have the opportunity to deepen the study of a repertoire connected to their research interests by producing a short bibliographical note.
