La cucina delle parole

Abstract The Glossario Artusiano (Artusian Glossary) has been designed as a lexicographical tool, capable of gathering and studying the whole lexicographical wealth of Pellegrino Artusi’s La Scienza in cucina e l’Arte di mangiar bene (1st edition in 1891; 15th edition in 1911), a cornerstone of Italian gastronomic culture. By looking at some case studies, this article illustrates the criteria, tools and methodology which may have been used to compose the glossary. The purpose is to highlight how these results can establish a constructive dialogue with the Vocabolario Storico della Lingua Italiana della Gastronomia (VoSLIG), within the framework of the AtLiTeG Project.
