Course objectives
The course provides an overview of the methodological framework of auxiliary sciences specific to the scholarly tradition of German-speaking countries (clearly distinguishable from the English and French approaches to the topic), and to outline the development of a standard canon of disciplines belonging to a field of research which started out as early as the first half of the 18th century. The main goal of the course is to familiarize students with the terminology applied in German academic literature. The language of the course will, therefore, mainly be German.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, students:
- will be able to actively and passively work with the terminology of auxiliary historical sciences in German;
- in German they will have learned to describe Medieval and Early Modern Age Latin script, epigraphical monuments, manuscripts, charters and seals, and properly describe coats of arms;
- in addition, students will be given a brief outline of the historical development of auxiliary historical sciences in German-speaking countries.
