This book contains the contributions of the Italian delegation to the XIV International Congress of Slavists (Ocrida, 10-16 September 2008). Divided into three macrosections (Philology and Linguistics; Literature, Culture and Folklore; History of Slavistics) the articles represent the main directions of current research in Slavic studies: from typological linguistics to palaeography, from the problems of intertextuality and multiculturalism to the history of literature, from historic poetics to the analysis of contemporary poetic texts. The book closes with two essays devoted to the reconstruction of several fundamental stages in the early years of Italian Slavistics and the Bibliography of Italian Slavistic production for the period 2003-2007 (edited by Gabriele Mazzitelli), providing eloquent evidence of the lively diffusion and complex ramification of these studies over recent years., Il volume racchiude i contributi della delegazione italiana al XIV Congresso Internazionale degli Slavisti (Ocrida, 10-16 Settembre 2008). Suddivisi in tre macrosezioni (Filologia e Linguistica; Letteratura, cultura e folclore; Storia della slavistica) gli articoli appaiono rappresentativi delle principali direttrici della ricerca coltivata dalla slavistica: dalla linguistica tipologica alla paleografia, dai problemi dell'intertestualità e della multiculturalità alla storia della letteratura, dalla poetica storica all'analisi di testi poetici contemporanei. Chiudono il volume due saggi dedicati alla ricostruzione di alcune tappe fondamentali dei primi anni della Slavistica italiana e la Bibliografia della produzione slavistica italiana relativa al periodo 2003-2007 (a cura di Gabriele Mazzitelli), testimonianza eloquente della vivace diffusione e complessa ramificazione degli studi negli ultimi anni.

The Italian contributions to the XIII International Congress of Slavists (Ljubljana, 15-21 August 2003) had a very limited circulation between the participants in the congress and the restricted circle of experts. Considering the high scientific value of the individual contributions, to which we continue to refer in the framework of Slavic literature, it was decided to publish these acts in the series "Library of Slavic Studies" also to celebrate the ten years of its existence. Faced with a consolidated tradition of studies in the philological and literary field, Italian Slavistics of the beginning of the millennium found itself facing new needs. On the one hand, a new generation of linguists has established themselves, who have developed a series of innovative research on Slavic languages, especially in the contrastive field. On the other hand, new research paths have developed in contemporary literature, especially in relation to the most recent historical circumstances which have seen profound cultural transformations in the Slavic countries themselves, with the need to reconstruct consolidated literary canons also on the basis of the literature of emigration. The same philological research has been able to question itself again on its role by taking up in a different form traditional issues such as the Cyril-Methodian question, the problem of biblical citations or the debate on the Latin Slavia and the Orthodox Slavia, as well as the more traditional ecdotic issues manifesting a new sensitivity starting from religious issues. Alberto Alberti is researcher in Slavistics at the University of Bologna.
