The “EpistolART project, Artistic correspondences in the Renaissance” seeks to catalogue, edit, and analyse the epistolary exchanges relative to the arts and artists of the 14th and 16th centuries. It has been able to grow thanks to the Concerted Research Action (CRA) funding granted to its co-promoters, Paola Moreno (promoter and spokesperson), Dominique Allart, Annick Delfosse and Laure Fagnart, all four of whom are members of “Transitions. Research team on the Middle Ages and Early Modernity” at the University of Liège. Being the first stage of the EpistolART project, this Concerted Research Action which began on October 1st, 2013 and was officially inaugurated on March 19th, 2014, will continue until September 30th, 2018. It focuses on the Carteggio inedito d’artisti dei secoli XIV, XV, XVI (ed. Johannes W. Gaye, vol. 3, 1839-1840). An online database will provide a photographic reproduction and a new edition of these letters, accompanied by a material description (support, presence/absence of watermarking, presence/absence of stamp) and a philological apparatus (drafting variants, deletions, interlinear or marginal integrations), with a modern usage of punctuation, diacritical signs, and capitalization. One of the challenges of the project is to propose a model which avoids information loss and alterations of meaning inherent to the operation, common in the literature on art as well as with excerpts from translated and decontextualized texts. Thus composed, it will be possible to examine the entire corpus transversally: from the codicological, paleographic, lexical, philological, and historical perspective. The corpus will lend itself to multidisciplinary research, focusing on unique authors and questions of language or textual configurations, as well as on the artistic concerns of which the letters are the expression. It is already sparking research in the form of Master’s theses, doctoral and post-doctoral studies, conferences, seminars, and symposiums.
Il progetto «EpistolART. Corrispondenze artistiche del Rinascimento» mira a repertoriare, editare e analizzare lettere riguardantile arti e gli artisti dal XIV al XVI secolo Il progetto è stato sviluppato grazie ad un finanziamento (Action de Recherche Concertée, ARC) allogato alle co-promotrici Paola Moreno (promotrice-portavoce), Dominique Allart, Annick Delfosse e Laure Fagnart, tutte facenti parte di «Transitions. Unité de recherches sur le Moyen Âge et la Première Modernité» all’Università di Liegi. Questa Action de Recherche Concertée costituisce la prima tappa del progetto EpistolART, cominciato il 1 ottobre 2013, inaugurato ufficialmente il 19 marzo 2014 e le cui attività proseguiranno fino al 30 settembre 2018. EpistolART si focalizza sul Carteggio inedito d’artisti dei secoli XIV, XV, XVI (ed. Johannes W. Gaye, 3 voll., 1839-1840). Un database online metterà a disposizione di tutti la riproduzione fotografica e la riedizione delle lettere, corredate da una descrizione materiale dei documenti (supporto, presenza/assenza di filigrana, presenza/assenza di sigillo), nonché di un apparato filologico (varianti di redazione, cassature, integrazioni lineari o marginali); la lettura sarà resa agevole dall’uso moderno della punteggiatura, dei segni diacritici e delle maiuscole. Uno degli obiettivi del progetto è proporre un modello che permetta di evitare la perdita di informazioni e le alterazioni di senso inerenti allo sfruttamento, frequente nella letteratura sull’arte, di estratti di testi tradotti e decontestualizzati. Tutto il corpus assemblato potrà essere interrogato in maniera trasversale, dal punto di vista codicologico, paleografico, lessicale, filologico e storico. Saranno così possibili ricerche multidisciplinari, su autori singoli, su questioni linguistiche o configurazioni testuali, nonché sugli argomenti di interesse artistico di cui le lettere sono espressione. Fin d’ora, il progetto dà luogo ad attività di ricerca che prendono la forma di tesi di master, tesi di dottorato e progetti post-doc, di conferenze, seminari e convegni.
