TESTO

Translating, Encoding, Sharing The Origins. From the Littera Florentina to an open-access Italian translation of Justinian's Digest

Type of project: National  |  Start date: 30/11/2023  |  End date: 29/11/2025

TESTO aims at transforming a milestone of the European cultural heritage, Justinian’s Digest, into a shared resource, accessible to users all over the world, inter-operable with analogue resources and encoded according to international standards to ensure better value and open accessibility to the cultural heritage of Roman law.

The project intends to create a complete and updated Italian translation of the text of the Digest. This target will be attained not only through traditional academical expertise in the field of Roman law, but also through an innovative approach based on Computational Linguistics.
