Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This guided reading approaches the history, religion, and culture of the medieval world from the standpoint of medieval Rome. Rome was once the capital of a Mediterranean empire, one of the largest cities of the ancient world, with around a million inhabitants. What happened to this city after its empire fell? During the Middle Ages, Rome was a city of only tens of thousands. Yet it was home to one of medieval Europe’s most important institutions, the papacy. Its classical and Christian glories endured. It was an important center of political, religious, and economic innovation, and a goal for pilgrims, emperors, and factions. The course emphasizes the teaching of expository and analytical skills used by historians to articulate, defend, and disseminate scholarly findings. There will be short written assignments and presentations which lead up to the final paper.

Participation (25%), short papers (30%), first draft and presentation of final paper (15%), rewrite of final paper (30%).
