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.

  • In 2024, on the occasion of the seventh centenary of Marco Polo’s death (1324-2024), a previously unknown witness of the Devisement dou monde, manuscript A.II.9, was identified at the Biblioteca “Lodovico Jacobilli” of the Diocese of Foligno. The manuscript belongs to the VA recension, produced in northern Italy in the early fourteenth century, and can be dated to between the late fourteenth and the first quarter of the fifteenth century. Its discovery significantly enhances our understanding of the VA tradition, the most productive branch of the Devisement dou monde and the version most widely read in medieval Europe: of the 146 manuscripts surveyed, 104 derive directly or indirectly from it. The diplomatic-interpretative digital edition of manuscript A.II.9, accompanied by digital facsimile images, is here published in open access and open source, following international standards. Visualization is provided through Edition Visualization Technology (EVT). The encoding scheme integrates metadata compliant with Manus Online guidelines, ensuring interoperability and facilitating connection with national and international manuscript portals. The editorial project arises from a collaboration between Spoke 9 CREST – Cultural Resources for Sustainable Tourism, within the framework of the Extended Partnership CHANGES – Cultural Heritage Active Innovation for Sustainable Society (PNRR), the Biblioteca “Lodovico Jacobilli” of the Diocese of Foligno, and the Soprintendenza Archivistica e Bibliografica dell’Umbria.
