The Vocabolario Dantesco (VD) project, a
collaborative effort between the Accademia della Crusca and the OVI, alongside
the Vocabolario Dantesco Latino (VDL), stands as the pioneering digital
endeavor dedicated to interpreting the lexicon of Dante's literary works.
The inception of the Vocabolario Dantesco (VD) project aligns with the shared vision of the Accademia della Crusca and
the CNR Institute Opera del Vocabolario Italiano to commemorate the 750th
anniversary of Dante Alighieri's birth and the 700th anniversary of his death.
This ambitious lexicographic initiative, initiated in September 2015, mirrors
the structure of the TLIO, aiming to compile Dante's entire lexical heritage.
The resulting resource is freely accessible online, continually updatable, and
expandable. While there are plans for a final printed publication with
necessary adaptations, the primary focus remains on the dynamic online platform
(view the current status here). The Vocabolario Dantesco runs parallel and is
interconnected with the Vocabolario Dantesco Latino (VDL).

The Vocabolario Dantesco Latino (VDL)
project emerged from the commemoration of the Seventh Centenary of Dante's
death (2021). Its mission is to craft a lexicographic tool dedicated to Dante's
Latin, mirroring the principles, tools, and procedures of Vocabolario Dantesco (VD). This endeavor seeks to present a comprehensive and unified representation,
from a lexicographic standpoint, of Dante's bilingual culture. The VDL stands
as a groundbreaking contribution to Dantean scholarly initiatives, filling the
void for a systematic tool devoted to Dante's Latin lexicon.
