The database Cretan Institutional Inscriptions was created as part of the PhD research project in Ancient Heritage Studies Kretikai Politeiai: Cretan Institutions from VII to I century BC, carried out at the University of Venice Ca' Foscari by Irene Vagionakis from 2016 to 2019, under the supervision of Claudia Antonetti and Gabriel Bodard. The research project aimed at collecting the epigraphic sources related to the institutional elements of the many political entities of Crete, with a view to highlighting the specificity of each context in the period between the rise of the poleis and the Roman conquest of the island. The main component of the database consists of the epigraphic collection of the 600 inscriptions constituting the core of the documentary base of the study, for each of which an XML edition compliant with the TEI EpiDoc international standard was created. Each EpiDoc edition includes a descriptive and a bibliographic lemma, the text of the inscription, a selective apparatus criticus and a commentary focused on the institutional data offered by the document. In addition to the epigraphic collection, the database includes a collection of the main related literary sources, a catalogue of the attested Cretan institutions (assemblies, boards, officials, associations, civic subdivisions, social statuses, age classes, months, festivities and other celebrations, institutional practices, institutional instruments, public spaces) and a catalogue of the political entities of Crete (poleis, koina, dependent communities, extra-urban sanctuaries, hegemonic alliances).

L'articolo discute la possibilità di adattare il concetto mazzariniano di 'democratizzazione della cultura' (nei due sensi di 'democratizzazione ascendente e discendente') alle iscrizioni metriche tardoantiche, soprattutto (ma non solo) cristiane. La presenza di nuovi modelli, di nuovi destinatari e di nuovi vettori culturali testimonia l'emergere di un nuovo linguaggio rispetto alla tradizione classica, spesso appare assorbita in modi non canonici ed 'erronei' in iscrizioni che non si esiterebbe a definire 'popolari', considerato il loro carattere centrifugo e innovativo rispetto alla paideia greco-romana. L'importanza di assumere il modello mazzariniano risiede anche nella possibilità di valutare la produzione di iscrizioni metriche secondo un approccio non più legato a giudizi di valore sulla base delle norme classiche. La paideia classica diviene cioè non il metro di misura, ma il sostrato su cui si innestano le spinte eccentriche (democratizzazione ascendente), e il cui prestigio continua a essere recepito in contesti 'bassi' o provinciali (democratizzazione discendente). ; The present paper focuses on the possibility to adapt the concept of 'democratisation of the culture', introduced by Santo Mazzarino, to the metrical inscriptions (mainly Christians) of late antiquity. The presence of new models and of new agents in the diffusion of culture is here considered against the background of classical paideia, which was often absorbed in uncanonical or even 'erroneous' ways in inscriptions that we might define 'popular' especially for their 'centrifugal' and innovative features. The adoption of Mazzarino's model will also allow us to consider metrical inscriptions according to a different interpretive model, and one not necessarily related to classical norms. From this perspective, classical paideia should be considered not as the fixed norm of aesthetic values, but rather as a common ground on which centrifugal innovations were inserted (ascending democratisation) and whose social prestige continued to be important in lower and provincial contexts (descending democratisation).
