This project aims to provide a new understanding of the emergence of classical tragedy by reassessing how classical Latin drama was revived in 14th century Europe after a long period of neglect. Classical tragedy, which incorporates the myths of the Graeco-Roman world in its fabric, was virtually unknown from late antiquity until the high middle ages when the tragedies of Seneca became popular. In the early 14th century, commentaries by Albertino Mussato and Nicholas Trevet allowed a new readership access to these complex ancient works; this analysis also provides new insights into trends of popularity across the ages. Using recent advances in digitisation technology and scholarship, the project will establish a model for research into the history of the book, the image, and text.

这个项目旨在通过重新评估古典拉丁戏剧是如何在长期被忽视后在14世纪的欧洲复兴的，从而对古典悲剧的出现提供新的理解。古典悲剧将格雷科-罗马世界的神话融入到织物中，从古代晚期到中世纪晚期，塞涅卡的悲剧变得流行起来，几乎是闻所未闻的。14世纪初，阿尔贝蒂诺·穆萨托和尼古拉斯·特雷维的评论让新的读者能够接触到这些复杂的古代作品；这种分析也提供了对各个时代流行趋势的新见解。该项目将利用数字化技术和学术的最新进展，为研究这本书的历史、图像和文本建立一个模型。
