Born in 2002 from the collaboration between the Institute for Renaissance Studies and Signum (The Center for Computer Research
in the Humanities of the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa), and in collaboration with the Ministero per le Attivitą
Culturali-Direzione Generale per i Beni Librari e gli Istituti Culturali, this project now boasts the participation of Harvard
University's Department of History. The idea is to orient historical, philosophical, historico-artistic, and philological
research with the creation of a digital library offering rare texts in their most significant editions and translations.
