The digilibLT project is planning to offer a complete database of late-antique Latin authors and works, as well as an exhaustive canon. Access to the canon and the database is free. Search windows are designed to allow users to search either the entire collection of texts or a selection of them (by author, period, or type of text) or single authors and works. Texts can be downloaded freely, which will allow individual scholars to work on their areas of interest with maximum flexibility. Texts are codified according both to the TEI and the Beta coding standard; this allows users to search the texts with the software resources they normally use for searching the TLG and PHI databases on CD-ROM. The canon lists the critical editions on which the digital text is based; if the case, it also lists deviations from the critical text. The website also includes short entries on late-antique authors and works, bibliographies, and canon entries. [R.Tabacco; tr. L. Battezzato]

It is our pleasure to announce the Summer School on “Digital tools for printed critical editions”, which will be held at the Department of Humanities, Università del Piemonte Orientale, in Vercelli (Italy) on 13-14 June 2013.
The Summer School is aimed at an international audience, therefore the courses will be held in English.
The School will be inaugurated by a group of philologists who will be discussing the state of the art of philological studies and the still open questions in the field of classical and medieval philology, and digital philology: Raffaella Tabacco, Francesco Stella and Roberto Rosselli del Turco.
Three half-day sessions will follow, in which three invited scholars will present their programs and tools:
- Wilhelm Ott, author of TUSTEP - Tübingen System of Text Processing tools;
- Guido Milanese, who will illustrate the use of LaTeX and its scripts for critical editions;
- Stefan Hagel, author of CTE- Classical Text Editor.
The invited scholars will be present during the whole course to foster a constructive debate between students and researchers on textual and philological issues related to digital tools and their use.
Program:

9-12,30 – Opening session on topics and issues in classical, medieval, digital philology: Raffaella Tabacco, Francesco Stella, Roberto Rosselli del Turco;
