Abstract
On the light of the doc. “Europe 2020, Innovation Union” and in view of increasing the knowledge market and the factories of the future initiative, the project aims to develop the European Research Area in the Humanities, involving the Latin literature of the past of all the European countries and the informatic science. The idea, the tool and the method of this research are completely new. Literature and informatics together will constitute a not well known transformation, which will make the sense of our modernity, especially in comparison with USA Research Area, starting from the national tradition of the EU States Member in the Humanities. The entire research is based on the exploration of the potential offered by Informatic Technology in investigating literary texts, for the purpose of textual criticism and lexical, morphological and prosodic-metrical analysis. The aim is to offer scholars a unique tool that allows a rapid consultation of the entire heritage of Latin versification, with an adparatus of variant readings (this is the most important novelty for a digital library) up to the XIX cent., without having to use a series of partial inventories such as those currently existing. For each of the works contained in the archive, the aim is not to offer an “authoritative” text, whose reliability may be questionable, but rather a real critical text with (complete albeit “light”) codicological variants and philological conjectures. In this way, it will be possible to study each ancient, medieval or humanistic text in the true historic mobility of its manuscript and printed tradition. Furthermore, each individual verse will be marked by its metric definition, thus allowing intertextual research carried out on not just a verbal but also a formal basis. The project is the contnuation of the PRIN 2005-7 Musisque deoque. A digital archive of Latin Poetry (see: www.mqdq.it, that aims to be www.mqdq.eu).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
