Valentina Lunardini, « Lessici mediolatini on-line. L’esperienza di Mirabile », Archivum Latinitatis Medii Aevi (documents), ID : 10.3406/alma.2019.2584
This essay lays out the LeMeL (Lessici Mediolatini – Medieval Latin Lexicons) project which, within the S. I. S. M. E. L. Sezione Lessicografica (Lexicography Section), is structured in the following phases : the location of texts dispersed in various libraries and not easily accessible publishing houses and their rendering in digital form. This has made possible the scansion of all texts inserted in LeMeL and their conversion into searchable pdfs in order to make vocabulary available. The material inserted in LeMeL comprises works of various lengths among which the edited collections in the Corpus Glossariorum Latinorum (7 volumes) and in the Glossaria Latina (5 volumes), the Elementarium by Papias (the 1496 incunabulum and the critical edition of the letter A, ed. V. de Angelis), the Derivationes by Osbernus, the letters A-C of the Derivationes and the Agiographia by Hugutio of Pisa, the Doctrinale by Alexandre de Villadieu, the Graecismus by Eberard de Béthune, the Summa Britonis sive Expositiones vocabulorum Biblie by Guillaume Le Breton, the Expositio sermonum antiquorum by Fulgentius, the Etymologiae by Isidore of Seville and the De lingua latina by Varro. Proposals for the future envision more levels : first of all, the creation of connections with already existing lexical indices as, for example, the Medioevo Latino lexical index, with the objective of arriving at the creation of an increasingly rich thesaurus of the lexigraphical legacy of the Latin Middle Ages.
