A group of scholars coordinated by Domenico Losurdo and comprising Giorgio Baratta, Valentino Gerratana and Giuseppe Prestipino have obtained a grant from the Italian Ministry for the Universities and Scientific Research to support their research which is aimed at producing a comprehensive Gramscian Lexicon and a critical anthology (in Italian) of Gramsci's writings. The first phase of the lexical project should result in an extension and amplification of the thematic index of the Quaderni currently available in Gerratana's critical edition. It is believed that when the project progresses to a more advanced stage it will be necessary to produce a computerized version of Gramsci's text.
