Medieval and Modern Philologies



Medieval and Modern Philologies

open access | peer reviewed

Aims & Scope
The series is currently divided into Serie occidentale and Serie orientale, which will gather research of philological nature (critical editions, monographs, research on printed and manuscript traditions, methodological essays, proceedings of seminars and conferences); its primary goal is to be the ‘place’ of exchange and of intellectual collaboration among scholars of the Western and Eastern traditions: first of all, those who work in the University, but also, and with particular attention, the external ones. Texts written in the main languages of modern cultures will be welcomed; special attention will be devoted to the testing of computer critical editions.

  • The Leges Langobardorum editorial project stems from a collaboration between Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and the University of Turin, the institutions hosting the two research units involved in a Nationally Significant Research Project (PRIN 2022 PNRR), within which the editors of the edition are jointly working. The project is structured in two phases. The first phase aims to provide a diplomatic-interpretative edition of the principal manuscript witnesses of the Leges. This volume offers a diplomatic-interpretative edition of the Edictum Rothari, as transmitted by MS Vat. Lat. 5359. The second, longer-term phase involves the preparation of a fully integrated critical edition of the Edictum and all the Leges, based on the complete collation and recension of the extant manuscript tradition. The edition will be accompanied by a digital glossary of Lombard terms. Several reasons underpin the decision to develop a digital edition based on international encoding standards (XML/TEI). First, TEI encoding makes it possible to manage multiple editorial layers and present them alongside digital facsimile images of selected witnesses. This approach enhances the historical dimension of each document, which is presented to readers within its paleographic and codicological, as well as linguistic and philological, context. Second, the flexibility of a digital edition allows for the integration of the diplomatic editions with the critical edition that will be prepared once the first phase is completed. Finally—and no less importantly—publishing the edition online in open-access format ensures broader dissemination, reaching not only academic audiences but also the general public, in line with the goal of promoting and sharing knowledge of Italian Cultural Heritage, which is central to the PRIN project.
