- This 100-thousand-word monograph is the outcome of 4 years of research. It uses frameworks from epigraphy, archaeology and linguistics, and presents a new analysis of documents across the spectrum of Oscan texts, including dedications, curse tablets, laws, funerary monuments and graffiti. Its bibliography includes c. 400 items, including many specialist and regional Italian publications. The research also rests on visits to Italian sites and museums across central and southern Italy, from Naples to Messina, for autopsy of the inscriptions. A review has said that this book is ?senza dubbio un libro importante [...] con intento e risultati innovative.?
