Università degli Studi di MACERATA - SCIENZE STORICHE, DOCUMENTARIE, ARTISTICHE E DEL TERRITORIO - ()Research Unit Leader
Letizia PellegriniDescription
The research unit will work in the broader scientific context of a project regarding the census of european medieval and renaissance lists of books (from VIII c. to 1520, excluding France and Tuscany). The project and the system used for its management has already its own standard procedures to store, manage and index digital data, which obviously will be used by the reasearch unit.Main tasks of the reasearch (according to the general working plan of the project) unit will be the enhancement of the existing census, particularly for the most peripheral areas of the Latin West, paying a strong attention for types of sources which traditionally are considered only from a statistical point of view (i.e. inventories, lists of books, various kinds of judicial acts, borrowing lists, etc.), in order to better understand the role played by those written sources, and update the scientific context. The research work will be based mainly, but not only, on printed material. All data gathered will be arranged by macro-areas, according to geographical and chronological criteria. For each record will be provided: a document summary, informations concerning its tradition, printed editions (if availables) and main scientific bibliography. The document description will follow the structure and use the elements of the existing dababase records (cfr. model A).
The data-base wiil be structured to store the following informations:
Place name (in its original language)
Books owner’s name (both indviduals or institutional bodies)
First owner’s name or receiver’s name
Dating for the document
Source description
Source typology
Document description
Document summary (‘Titulus + Incipit + Explicit’)
Printed editions (where availables)
Main bibliography
Involved research units will use scientific datas stored in the shared data-base of “Medioevo latino”: this assures constant datas updates and access to a unique knowledge base, growth during the three last decades of humanistic and medievistic studies. The review of the shelfmarks for the primary sources (both books and archival sources) that transmits lists and inventories, often outdated due to historical and/or institutional matters, will be accomplished by the Macerata research unit: the same unit will also draw up the list of documentary tipologies in the census.
