This website provides Open Access research materials from the Somnium (1372) of Giovanni da Legnano in order to document the author's extensive reception of Thomas of Ireland's Manipulus florum (1306). The text is being transcribed from the printed critical edition compiled by Giulietta Voltolina for the volume published by Maria Consiglia De Matteis in 2004 with Banca di Legnano.

Dr. Voltolina's excellent critical edition collates multiple manuscript witnesses and provides references to all biblical citations and some of the quotations from classical, patristic and medieval sources as well, though many of the latter were not identified because they were misattributed and/or heavily altered from the original source. This was often due to Giovanni da Legnano's extensive reception of Manipulus florum, as demonstrated by this website, which serves as an addendum to the printed critical edition, following the template of two previous websites developed in 2015-16 to document the reception of Manipulus in two 15th-century texts:

- Giovanni Dominici's Lucula noctis (The Manipulus/Lucula noctis Project)

- Walter Bower's Scotichronicon (The Manipulus/Scotichronicon Project).

At present, this website provides several passages from the Prohemium (preface) to Somnium, with links to the relevant fons/fontes apparatus from the Open Access edition of Thomas of Ireland's florilegium provided on The Electronic Manipulus florum Project website. It is expected that this project will be completed by Spring 2025; new edition pages will be added as the work progresses.
