• 1. Petrus de Ebulo, De rebus Siculis Carmen, critical ed. by Fulvio Delle Donne, digital ed. by Fulvio Delle Donne with the help of Angela Brescia

Tei-xml coded edition in EVT - Edition Visualization Technology. The work is carried out in the context of the PRIN 2015 A.L.I.M. (Archivio digitale della Latinità Italiana del Medioevo) by the Research Unit of the University of Basilicata, under the direction of prof. Fulvio Delle Donne. 

Abstract: The De rebus Siculis carmen or Carmen de motibus Siculis or Liber ad honorem Augusti, transmitted by the sole ms. Bern Burgerbibliothek, Codex 120 II (B), is one of the three works attributed to Petrus de Ebulo and can be dated to 1194 -1197. It tells in elegiac couplets the conquest of the Kingdom of Sicily by the Emperor Henry VI of Hohenstaufen. The ms. is  illuminated: unlike the other mss. of that time, where miniatures are used to decorate the text, here they help understanding, supporting the narration and sometimes completing its gaps.

• 4. Antonio Beccadelli (Panormita), Alfonsi regis Triumphus - The Triumph of King Alfonso, edition and italian translation by Fulvio Delle Donne

This edition is based on the ms. of the Vatican Apostolic Library, Urb. lat. 1185, written by Petrus Ursuleus († 1483), renowned copyist of the library of the Aragonese kings of Naples, for the Duke of Urbino Federico da Montefeltro.

Tei-xml coded edition in EVT - Edition Visualization Technology.

Abstract: Iacopo Stefaneschi (1260/70-1341) was one of the most important witnesses of the formidable years marked by the papal election of Celestine V, by his subsequent resignation, and finally by his canonization. Connected with his “great refusal” were the election and coronation of Boniface VIII, which are celebrated in the work here published for the first time with an Italian translation, an introduction and commentary notes.

This edition is based on the ms. of the Vatican Apostolic Library, Vat. lat. 4933, the only ms. that contains the fully first draft of the work: controlled directly by the author, the text is dotted with explanatory glosses attributable to the same Stefaneschi.
