Eleonora Recupero Porcino (Ca’ Foscari Venice) launched the demo version of a new digital edition of Sidonius’ works, called Sidoniana.
It introduces itself as follows:
- The Sidoniana project is a digital edition project of the entire correspondence of Sidonius Apollinaris, freely accessible on the Web. Created by Eleonora Recupero Porcino as part of a doctoral project in Ancient Studies at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (scholarship funded by PON Research and Innovation 2014-2020), the site is currently limited to book VIII only, but with a perspective of expanding the material. The interoperability between a wide range of tools accompanying the text and other resources available online makes it a portal of interest for a varied user base. Alongside bibliographic and prosopographic sources, particular attention is given to the complexity of the manuscript tradition, with the objective of offering a preparatory contribution to setting up a new critical edition of Sidonius’ works.
