Abstract: DiLiBas-MA (Digital Libraries of Basilicata - Modern Age), Between local histories and political conflicts in the Mediterranean of the Modern age investigates the characteristics of a corpus of transcripts concerning the local histories of the city of Matera, focusing on the role played by Mediterranean circulations. It aims at analysing the contingent political purposes of this works and the human intellectual relations of their authors. Another research track concerns the study of political mobility from the Kingdom of Naples and its consequences in European history.

The work is carried out as part of a larger project (PON AIM 1849024-1, 2019) dedicated to classification, computer indexing and critical edition of sources in Latin and Italian language related to the cities and territory of Basilicata between the late Middle Ages and the Modern Age. It includes also DiLiBas-MELL (Digital Libraries of Basilicata - Medieval Latin Literature), by Teofilo De Angelis, and DiLiBas-MOL (Digital Libraries of Basilicata - Modern Literature), by Cristina Acucella.
