4. Giacomo Leopardi: Tutte le opere by Lucio Felici

The first electronic edition of the complete works of Leopardi, from his childhood to his last years in Naples, including all the draft copies of the Canti, the collection of letters from his corrispondents, the two chrestomathies and his commentary about Petrarch.

5. I commenti danteschi dei secoli XIV, XV e XVI by Paolo Procaccioli

The CD-ROM contains a complete data base of the historic commentaries of Divina Commedia: from Iacopo Alighieri to Ludovico Castelvetro and Torquato Tasso. The thirty commentaries collected compile all critiques systematically carried out between the XIV and XVI century. The included documents range from scattered private annotations about public readings to extensive treatises and systematic interpretations, outlining the evolution of a literary genre - the commento - which was central to the scholary work of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. The data base opens a very quick and convenient access to source materials of Dante exegesis which were up to now mainly available only in 19 th century editions. In the cases of Landino and Vellutello it is the first modern edition after 16 th century. Research can be carried out on the basis of form or locus. The search for commentaries related to a specific verse, to one or more triplets or to a whole canto of the Commedia, offers the CD-ROM user the possibility of synoptic and comparative working which would otherwise be unthinkable. Moreover the data bank includes Dante's entire works in Latin and in vernacular.
