REMEDIA - REPERTORIO DI MEDICINA ANTICA

The project aims to create a philologically established corpus of medical-scientific texts with particular focus on various medical treatises, manuals of surgery and prescription pads in several Romance languages, and is accompanied by the writing of the related vocabulary entries, in parallel with the TLIO.
Scientific Coordinators: Elena Artale, Ilaria Zamuner

CHVA. CHARTAE VULGARES ANTIQUIORES

The research project (continuation of a project presented in 2012 and partially funded in 2014, which expired in 2017) aims to describe the phase of the first establishment of a writing tradition in the vernacular in the Italo-Romance area by cataloguing, reproducing and publishing the oldest (within the 13th cent.) written documents in each region, focusing on purely and entirely vernacular writings. It is proposed to reconsider each of the oldest texts in the vernacular from the different regions of Italy in terms of their specific nature, carrying out in-depth analysis from a palaeographical, philological and linguistic perspective. L’OVI is involved in the project for the setup of the textual corpus.
Scientific Coordinator: Vittorio Formentin

LIRIO - CORPUS DELLA LIRICA ITALIANA DELLE ORIGINI
