The Franco-Italian On-Line Archive (FIOLA) will be a database of all texts written in mixed French and Italian language from its earliest examples in the twelfth century to the Renaissance. These texts have a fascinating history and tradition, but because of the difficulty of the language, the inaccessibility of editions and the uniqueness of each literary artifact, they remain relatively unknown in non-specialist circles. It is our hope that this archive will help promote the study and appreciation of these beautiful and interesting texts by making lexical research easily accessible.
FIOLA begins by presenting two texts: La Guerra di Attila
and L'Entrée d'Espagne (and its Suite, commonly
known as La Prise de Pamplune).
These texts are entirely searchable by word and morphological patterns.
Additional texts are currently being edited for inclusion in the
textbase, including St. Mark's V13. With the cooperation of other
scholars in the field we hope to gather and make searchable the entire
corpus of Franco-Italian texts. FIOLA would like to become a place
where the community of scholars meets to consider these traditions.
Your involvement is welcome!
