	AFTER A BRIEF INTRODUCTION ON THE HISTORIOGRAPHY AND HOW ITS OBJECTIVES CHANGE OVER TIME; THE COURSE WILL FOCUS ON VARIOUS TYPES OF SOURCES: MANUSCRIPTS, PRINTED, FROM LIBRARIES OR ARCHIVES. THE STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF STUDYING SOME OF THE SOURCES THANKS TO WHICH WE KNOW ABOUT CRUCIAL THEMES SUCH AS: THE PRINTING PRESS, THE CENSORSHIP, THE ROLE OF CHURCH IN THE CIRCULATION OF BOOKS; THE FAMILY, THE ECONOMIC THORIES, THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY REVOLTS AND THE MODERN REVOLUTIONS (WITH THE JURIDICAL DOCUMENTS THAT HAVE PRODUCED). THE KNOWLEDGE OF THEMES, METHODS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE HISTORIOGRAPHICAL SCHOOLS WILL HELP THE STUDENTS TO HAVE MORE AWARENESS AND CURIOSITY IN FRONT OF THE WIDE PATRIMONY OF DOCUMENTS THAT EVERY GENERATION RECEIVES IN HERITAGE FROM THE PAST.
