OVERVIEW
For students attending the 9CFU examination, the course is divided in two parts of overall 60 hours. The first part is dedicated to an explanation of the medieval millennium, also with reference to two of the newest and qualified handbooks; the second part aims to connect the student with the craft of the historian and his work through the sources, with reference to four different books explained in some depth..
AIMS AND CONTENT

- the ability to recognize the main problematic nodes
- the ability to connect the acquired notions with coeval developments in different contexts-political, social and economic, but also literary, historical-artistic, historical-architectural-of human action.
At the end of the teaching the student will be able to explain with appropriate language the main processes, dynamics, facts or key figures (either by role or relevance), with awareness of their incidence in the above-mentioned contexts.
In the 6 cfu exam, the student must demonstrate that he/she has acquired the basic knowledge and skills indicated and can deal with one of the proposed in-depth examinations.
