✦ Synopsis

Ever since the pioneering work of Roberto Busa, computers have had an important work in humanistic research. The Istituto per le Scienze Religiose has been involved in such research since the 1970s. This article describes the Pope John XXIII project whose aim is to produce a computer-aided index of all the Pope's writings in both Italian and Latin; as well as future projects currently under consideration.
