The scope of this session is to present and discuss the feasibility of a project aimed at creating, through the contribution of Amical institutions and their components (students, faculty members, librarians, technologists)an online multi-media text of Cristoforo Buondelmonti ‘s Liber Insularum, a geographical and archaeological description of the Greek islands, which inaugurated the birth of the “Isolario” as a new literary genre and paved the way to generations of scholars and travelers in their explorations of the Aegean Sea.

While the setting up of such a project could in itself offer an invaluable experience both to explore the application of digital technologies to the humanities and to foster collaboration within AMICAL institutions and their constituent parts, the final product would then be an useful learning object to be used in a variety of disciplines (Humanities, History, Art History, Archaeology, Geography etc.).
