"The plan is, therefore, to bring together a significant number of texts that present, or contribute to defining, the "state of the art" achieved to date by recent historical production in the subject areas considered.

possible shortcomings in the investigation, and, secondly, to demonstrate perspectives for the future, either in line with what has been achieved, or with any changes in methodology or in the bases of interpretation."
