Diplôme Européen d’Études Médiévales

The European Diploma in Mediaeval Studies was created in 1991 by the FIDEM. The Diploma is organised in cooperation with a group of Universities within the ERASMUS programme and is open to students of all nationalities.

EUROPEAN DIPLOMA IN MEDIEVAL STUDIES

The Diploma in Medieval Studies entitled European Diploma for the study of Medieval Latin written sources, organised in the framework of the ERASMUS+ programme, was created at Louvain-la-Neuve in 1991. More than twenty European and extra-European universities are involved. The courses focus on methodology and teaching of auxiliary disciplines: Classical Latin, Medieval Latin, History of Libraries, Palaeography, Codicology, Diplomatics, and Text Editing. All courses are taught in Italian, English, or French. The instructors come from different countries with the aim of introducing the students of the Diploma to a range of methodological approaches and current research perspectives. Teaching takes place in an international setting at the Norwegian Institute of Rome , and in direct contact with the manuscript collections held in the numerous libraries and archives of Rome. All the courses will be held in person. However we will continue to offer remote learning to students who cannot attend (non-Erasmus+ students only). A minimum of 6 participants is required for the course to start. Attendance (both in-class and online) can take three forms: annual , modular and personalised (non-Erasmus+ students only). General coordination is by Dr. Claudia Appolloni (Università di Bologna; ), in cooperation with Libera Università Maria Ss. Assunta (LUMSA) in Rome ( ).
