Summer Epigraphy Course
The Center for Epigraphical and Palaeographical Studies has held five Summer Epigraphy Courses, in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2014. Each course was very well received by the students. Each course was very well received by the students; enrollments rose from 7 (first course) to an ideal 12 (third course), with a growing number of European participants. The Center intends to offer the course every other year.
Aim: The course does not aim to turn out epigraphers. Its aim is more modest: to acquaint senior graduate students and junior faculty with the tools, methods and problems of epigraphy and to encourage and enable them to use the wonderful resource of inscriptions in their teaching and their research. If the bacillus epigraphicus should infect a participant even more deeply, all the better!
Method: To achieve this goal, the course lasts two intensive weeks, during which the students attend seminar-like sessions of instruction but are also challenged to do considerable work of their own. At the beginning of the course, students receive a squeeze and/or photographs of an inscription for which they will prepare an edition with commentary and translation to present to the class at the end of the two weeks.
