课程简介

课程名称:解密秘密:中世纪欧洲的装饰手稿 课程概述:中世纪的装饰手稿,无疑是欧洲中世纪遗物中最能吸引我们想象力的一部分。这些装饰有图像和彩色颜料的文献,作为通往失落的国王、贵族、信仰、战争和文化世界的窗口,传达了复杂的视觉和文本叙事,体现了欧洲的集体文化遗产。这些手稿不仅是我们共同过去的动态信息,它们在现代图形设计和排版等领域仍然具有重要的现实意义。 在为期七周的课程中,学生将探讨中世纪欧洲装饰手稿的物质创作、内容和历史背景。学生将掌握识别其特征、分类和时代划分(创作时间)、制作方法及其历史价值等基础知识。 学生的成绩将通过传统的选择题测验以及更重要的个人项目进行评估。在最后的项目中,学生可以选择(1)制作一块关于中世纪手稿的注释图像板;或(2)使用中世纪方法准备一份实物手稿。最优秀的同伴评估项目将被汇集并发布在解密秘密网站上,旨在鼓励和支持全球公民学者对中世纪手稿转录的欣赏和贡献。 最后,值得强调的是,本课程是美国科罗拉多大学与西班牙马德里大学合作的国际项目。 课程大纲: - 第1周:课程简介,介绍中世纪世界及手稿研究 - 第2周:中世纪欧洲王国(第一部分)及书写支持与书籍格式 - 第3周:中世纪欧洲王国(第二部分)及书写工具和书籍结构 - 第4周:西班牙的阿方索十世"智者"及准备书写的页面 - 第5周:古文字学与历史案例研究及书写书籍 - 第6周:探索全球中世纪及在线收藏与书籍装饰 - 第7周:书籍装订及课程总结 选择项目:学生需完成两个项目中的其中之一。

Perhaps no other relic of the European Middle Ages captures our imagination more than illuminated medieval manuscripts, or those documents decorated with images and colored pigments. Serving as windows unto a lost world of kings, ladies, faith, war, and culture, they communicate complex visual and textual narratives of Europe’s collective cultural heritage and patrimony. In this fashion, illuminated manuscripts are dynamic messages from our communal past that are still relevant today in fields like graphic design and typography. In this seven-week course, students will explore the material creation, content, and historical context of illuminated medieval European manuscripts. Students will acquire an introductory knowledge of their distinguishing characteristics, their cataloguing and periodization (when they were created), the methods utilized to produce them, and their historical context and value. Student achievement will be assessed using not only traditional multiple-choice quizzes, but more importantly will be evaluated based on individual student projects. In their final projects students will either (1) produce a board of commented images about medieval manuscripts or (2) prepare a physical manuscript using medieval methods. The best of these peer-evaluated projects will be posted on the Deciphering Secrets website, which is our collective citizen scholarship web presence that encourages and supports our global citizen scholars appreciation and contributions to transcription of medieval manuscripts. Finally, we wish to highlight that this course is an exciting international collaboration between the University of Colorado (USA) and Universidad Complutense Madrid (Spain).
