<blockquote>
''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.

===Digital glossary===

The glossary is organised by '''lemmas in alphabetical order''', selected for their relevance to the project topics. Each entry is analysed by means of a lexicographic article, written by the authors in a digital environment (backend) specially designed by the LaLaLexiT team, which is intuitive and functional for editorial work.
It is a '''native digital edition''' model was chosen, where academic research, digital design and scholarly publishing are structurally intertwined. The result is an '''open-access resource''', anonymously '''double-referenced''', which combines scientific method, accessibility and technological innovation.

====Editorial criteria====
Each entry is divided into the following '''sections''':
* ABSTRACT (in Italian and English);
* SELECTED LITERARY SOURCES: a selection, made by the author of the entry, does not claim to be exhaustive, but focuses on occurrences of the lemma considered as particularly significant. These passages are not necessarily arranged in chronological order; instead, their sequence follows criteria – e.g. thematic or contextual relevance – that serve the interpretative framework developed in the subsequent commentary;
* COMMENTARY: a scientific commentary discussing and interpreting the selected occurrence;
* BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES: a selected bibliography, with reference to relevant lexicographical repertories.

Each lemma is further tagged with '''keywords''' and '''thematic categories''' relevant to the overarching theme of the ‘Late Antique transition’. The glossary is therefore accessible both alphabetically and thematically. Additionally, a full-text free search function is available. A distinctive feature of LaLaLexiT digital glossary is its integration with the '''digital archives''' of [https://pric.unive.it/projects/mqdq-galaxy/home MQDQ Galaxy] (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) and [https://digiliblt.it/ DigilibLT] (University of Eastern Piedmont, Vercelli), which are project partners: where available, readers will find a direct link to the texts of the selected sources. Finally, it is worth mentioning the '''General bibliography''' resource, which allows you to open the complete list, updated in real time, of the bibliographical references used throughout the glossary, providing the reader with an initial ‘bibliography of Latin vocabulary from the transition period’. While the primary language of the glossary is currently Italian, contributions are also accepted in English, Spanish, French, and German. </blockquote>

==Description==
Taken from the project's presentation page (Accessed 2026–07–13):

<blockquote>
The Global Thucydides project was conceived to produce the first comprehensive mapping of Thucydides’ receptions on a global scale. It examines the contexts, modes, and motivations that led to Thucydides becoming a prominent subject of scholarly interest and a shared cultural reference worldwide. The project operates within a highly interdisciplinary framework, integrating classical studies and their reception, translation studies, and intellectual history.

The database represents one of the project’s key outcomes. It provides a continuously expanding catalogue of translations and commentaries on Thucydides published since the late fourteenth century. Additionally, it includes brief biographies of translators and scholars, along with an interactive map that enables a diachronic reconstruction of Thucydides’ global receptions. The collection of bibliographic material was carried out by Michele Saccomanno in close cooperation with the two principal investigators, Luca Iori and Ivan Matijašić, as well as with the Advisory Board and a group of international collaborators.

The principal advantage of this digital database lies in its flexibility and adaptability, offering a versatile tool for bibliographical research accessible to classical scholars, historians, and students of political science – an area where Thucydides holds considerable significance – as well as to any individual with a broad interest in the History of Thucydides and its reception.</blockquote>
