The project ‘Humanistic Italy and sixteenth-century Muscovy in dialogue: Digitisation and digital mapping of the work of Maximus the Greek’ - MaximHum (nr. P2022837KN) aims to demonstrate the ‘humanistic factor’ in the life and work of Maximus the Greek, and his role as the first mediator in Muscovy of the culture of humanism and of the values of the renovatio christiana. The project is funded within the framework of the PRIN 2022 PNRR and lasts for a two-year period (November 2023-November 2025). Conceived by Francesca Romoli, the project’s national coordinator and director of the research unit at the University of Pisa, MaximHum involves, in addition to the University of Pisa, the Universities of Chieti-Pescara, whose research unit is headed by Maria Chiara Ferro, and the University of Bologna, whose research unit is represented by Alberto Alberti. The essay intends to outline the general purpose of the project and then focus on the intermediate objectives referring to the first six months of activity, dedicated to the digitisation of Maximus the Greek’s published works and of their translations. To be more precise, Francesca Romoli illustrates the census and collection of editions of the works in Church Slavonic by Maximus the Greek, the compilation of an updated inventory (compared to A.I. Ivanov’s 1969 inventory) of the author’s literary production, in which each work is described according to a series of descriptors (metadata) and accompanied by a wide range of related information arranged in complementary inventories. Maria Chiara Ferro describes the parallel research, collection and cataloguing work carried out for the translations of the works of Maximus the Greek into modern languages. The article also contains some references to the critical issues encountered and the choices made to overcome them, presenting data that will be poured into the platform hosting the digital corpus now under construction.

Abstract
The project ‘Humanistic Italy and sixteenth-century Muscovy in dialogue: Digitisation and digital mapping of the work of Maximus the Greek’ - MaximHum (nr. P2022837KN) aims to demonstrate the ‘humanistic factor’ in the life and work of Maximus the Greek, and his role as the first mediator in Muscovy of the culture of humanism and of the values of the renovatio christiana. The project is funded within the framework of the PRIN 2022 PNRR and lasts for a two-year period (November 2023-November 2025). Conceived by Francesca Romoli, the project’s national coordinator and director of the research unit at the University of Pisa, MaximHum involves, in addition to the University of Pisa, the Universities of Chieti-Pescara, whose research unit is headed by Maria Chiara Ferro, and the University of Bologna, whose research unit is represented by Alberto Alberti. The essay intends to outline the general purpose of the project and then focus on the intermediate objectives referring to the first six months of activity, dedicated to the digitisation of Maximus the Greek’s published works and of their translations. To be more precise, Francesca Romoli illustrates the census and collection of editions of the works in Church Slavonic by Maximus the Greek, the compilation of an updated inventory (compared to A.I.
