PARLI is an Atlas of  Romance Literature (12th-14th centuries) from a Prosopographical Perspective.

Literary entities can be intertwined with geographical, prosopographical and genealogical ones.

Moving back and forth on the timeline, it's possible to know which historical and cultural events occurred in a given period.Lists of historical personalities and characters, authors, places and human types linked to literature can be consulted in a reticular manner.

The same goes for the works and manuscripts that handed them down to us, for the personalities who populate them and for the people they speak of, for the social groups that contributed to their composition and their diffusion, for the wars of which they speak and for the armies that move in them or that have contributed to their destruction.

Thanks to an exceptional team of editors, lyric poetry, novel, epic, theater all the most important historiographical works and many other genres are analytically filed.

The initial screen provides the map with all the cultural events of the year that is at the center of the considered era. By moving the timeline bar back and forth, you can study cultural events in diachrony. They can be viewed starting from the green colored pins (cultural). By selecting the other (blue) button, in addition to having personal information on the characters, always in diachrony, the borders of the lordships of the Romance area will be identified in panchrony, which in turn lead back to the ethnonyms of each division: PARLI is therefore also a large catalog of ethnonyms. For divisions of a higher order that dominate lordships, such as the Counties and their rulers, it is necessary to select political (purple), for geographical-political divisions of an even higher order such as Duchies and Major Counties military (red), for Kingdoms and Empires, select religious (yellow). Attention: these divisions have an exclusively practical reason and are divided among the various fields of primary activity only by convention and economy. Consider that the borders clicked last are highlighted.
