Description

DaMA project, approved by MIUR (Ministry of University and scientific-technological Research), within PRIN 2006 "Dante’s medieval library. Vulgar and Latin sources database (DaMA-Dante Medieval Archive) and annotated editions of minor works”, aims to study the main classical, late-ancient and medieval, Latin and Vulgar, Dante’s works. Inside the wide tradition of researches on Dante’s works, not-well examinated is the connection between Dante and the literary production of the previous five-six centuries. Into DaMA digital archive take place the results of the census of classical, late –ancient and medieval sources in the field of epistolary production, theological, bucolic, mystical and philosophical literature, Vergil and Horatius’ medieval commentaries and Romance lyrical production. The study of these sources appears so significant to rebuild the ideal library of Dante and for the development of more complete and exhaustive comments of Dante’s works (Egloghe, Epistole and Rime), especially about medieval sources.
