Abstract

The article presents an Italian national project divided into four units covering Hispanic Chivalric Literature from different perspectives. It is Mapping Chivalry: Spanish Romances of Chivalry from Renaissance to 21st Century: a Digital Approach. After its general presentation, the article refers in particular to the unit being developed at the Università di Trento, which is dedicated to the creation of a database focusing on the motifs of 16th and 17th century Castilian romances of chivalry, which constitute the sources for the other units that make up the project. We mention the tasks carried out on the corpus and point to the current objectives of our research: to define an index of motifs with the help of digital tools, without forgetting the traditional critical approach. The results obtained will be made available to users in the MeMoRam database.
