Programme Description

Various perspectives - philological, historical and philosophical - are employed to analyze different aspects in the history of the Middle Age. Medieval mentalities - reflected in literature, institutions, symbolism and iconography - represents the main theme of the program. The Middle Age is not interpreted only as a western civilisation, but also includes the orthodox world of Byzantine tradition (integrating the Romanian medieval civilisation) and the medieval Islam. The study of several languages and medieval palaeography are an important part o the program, in order to provide technical instruments of research for the graduates. The programme is organized in collaboration by several chairs in the Faculty of History and the Faculty for Foreign Languages and Literature, and benefits by the support of the Research Centre in Medieval Studies.
