"Historical studies have revealed the complexity of the pathways through
which university philosophical culture has taken part in the development
of knowledge from the Late Middle Ages to our times. Nonetheless, till
now a full class of documents has been considered only erratically: the
inaugural lectures (also known as paginae) of the single
university courses given from the Renaissance to the beginning of the
eighteenth century. Scholars of university history know that each of the
countless inaugural lectures till extant in archives and libraries is
an interesting document, revealing the tenets of university culture in a
specific place and time; however, few research campaigns have been
conducted on these documents with the aim of improving sistematically
our understanding of the history of university culture in general, or of
specific trends in it. Main obstacles to these enterprises are the
large number of extant documents and their dispersion. DArIL aims to
facilitate scholars to overcome these difficulties, providing them with
an access to a digital collection of searchable descriptions, digital
photo-reproductions and codified transcriptions of paginae."
