Description

ALIM (Archivio della Latinità Italiana del Medioevo / Archive of the Italian Latinity of the Middle Ages) aims to provide free online access to all the Latin texts produced in Italy during the Middle Ages. For several centuries, in fact, Latin represented the only language in which, in addition to historical documentation, many of the major creations of thought, science, and literature of the Middle Ages were expressed. Even when national languages imposed themselves in written form, Latin never lost its role and prestige as transnational language ̶ until the end of the Middle Ages and beyond. The ALIM work programme also includes further research projects and meetings on philology, textual criticism, literary history and Digital Humanities.
