Parole che fanno la storia: Paolo Siniscalco e gli studi sul lessico

This contribution intends to focus attention on a research perspective that Paolo Siniscalco has cultivated since the beginning of his scientific activity. In fact, he published studies on some terms considered of relevant importance to reconstruct the historical context of literary production and some fundamental themes of ancient Christianity. This is a transversal investigation that will focus on a limited number of articles that Paolo Siniscalco wrote during his long academic career and that therefore represent a characteristic feature of his historical research. In this sense, rereading his publications on the words under examination allows us to observe how they, from the perspective of the historian, make history.
