La trascrizione dei testi - classsici e no - al tempo dei Carolingi. Note per un lessico

The article deals with passages from the correspondence of Carolingian scholars concerning the transcription of ancient texts in order to show the different problems they met and how they tried to solve them. Different lemmas (nouns, verbs, classical authors) mentioned in the epistles are examined considering too the frequency they were used. Consequently we can assume once more the task Carolingian scriptoria afforded - trying to ensure the correctness of the transmission of the classics - was the rescue of the cultural project of Roman empire inside the new structure built by Charlemagne.
