Aims & Scope

LaLaLexiT. Late Latin Lexicon in Transition is a project dedicated to the Latin lexicon of late antiquity, a period of profound change that shaped subsequent cultural history. What words were used by Latin literary sources to bear witness to the ‘transition’ of late antiquity? Which expressions, in prose and poetry, were entrusted with the task of representing – and perhaps interpreting and directing – this evolution? ‘Rebirth’, ‘conversion’, ‘error’, ‘vice’, ‘reform’, ‘power’: these are just some of the nuanced concepts that find concrete form in many of the Latin terms that will be explored in the LaLaLexiT digital glossary, the first specifically dedicated to this topic.
