Thesaurus Primo Levi

Thesaurus Primo Levi. Genesi e disseminazioni di un corpus novecentesco is a PRIN research project coordinated by the University of Pavia in collaboration with the Universities of Padua, Parma and Turin, and the International Primo Levi Center. Conceived to deepen the understanding of Primo Levi’s language, culture and literary production, the project offers a comprehensive reappraisal of his work through the perspectives of linguistics, philology and cultural history.

At the heart of the project is the Thesaurus Primo Levi, an open-access digital dictionary that documents and analyses the vocabulary of Levi’s complete works. By examining words in their contexts of use, their relationships with one another and their development across different texts, the platform provides new tools for exploring the richness of Levi’s language and the complexity of his thought.

Designed for researchers, students, teachers and translators, the project makes scholarly resources freely available online, opening new perspectives for research while contributing to the appreciation and study of one of the most significant Italian authors of the twentieth century.
