Fascist Latin Texts makes available Latin texts on subjects relating to Fascism and written under Mussolini's regime (1922–1943). It includes works of both prose and poetry, such as textbooks for school children, eulogies of Mussolini and his regime, epic poems on Italy’s colonial wars, or translations of some of Mussolini’s speeches. FLT also aims to offer short scholarly introductions to all authors and texts. This is a work in progress, and new introductions are added regularly. We will also continue to publish new Latin texts as they come to light.The Fascist Latin inscriptions of the city of Rome have their own section in the library. They are accompanied by images, short introductions and translations. Once all the Roman material has been published, inscriptions from other parts of Italy will be added.
We welcome guest editors and authors who would like to contribute transcribed texts and/or introductions for publication in FLT. Please contact the General Editors for further details.
The General Editors of FLT are Han Lamers (University of Oslo) and Bettina Reitz-Joosse (University of Groningen). The online edition results from a long-standing collaboration between the University of Oslo and the University of Groningen. It has been made possible by a grant of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Oslo and forms part of the projects New Signs of Antiquity: The Uses of Latin in the Public Culture of Fascist Italy, funded by the Norwegian Research Council, and Anchoring the Fascist Revolution: The Classical Languages under Fascism, funded by the Anchoring Innovation research agenda of OIKOS (the Netherlands' National Research School in Classical Studies).
An essential bibliography on Fascist Latinity is available here.
