The project does not appear to have had an official name, but the titles used here occur in contemporary sources.

Several drafts were made. The Ricci Institute holds part of one draft, primarily containing Chinese-English material (with some French and some Latin). This draft was stored at the Ricci Institute in Taipei before being moved to the Ricci Institute. Our materials appear to date primarily from the late 1950s.

This publication is the first critical edition of the Dictionarium sinico-latinum (Chinese-Latin dictionary) by the Franciscan missionary Basilio Brollo (1648–1704; Chinese name, Ye Zunxiao 葉尊孝). This publication thoroughly researches for the first time a lexicographical milestone, copied and plagiarised for centuries as a fundamental linguistic instrument. It is aimed not only at scholars of missionary linguistics, lexicography, and lexicology, but also represents an essential reference for researchers of cultural interaction between Europe and China, and of conceptual history.
Based on the edition stored in Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence, known as “Rinuccini 22” (1694), this volume opens with a variety of research articles on different linguistic, historical, and cultural aspects of the Dictionarium (see the table of contents below), followed by the transcription of the whole dictionary, including Chinese characters and their variants, romanisations, Latin definitions, examples, and Chinese glosses.

At the same time, the database https://chindictionary.lad-sapienza.it is launched.
Based on the Dictionarium sinico-latinum, this relational database has been developed to digitise and organise the data coherently. The proposed structure provides a solid foundation for indexing and querying through a search engine capable of navigating both the information explicitly present in the Dictionarium sinico-latinum and other ancient sources and the information that can be implicitly inferred. This approach ensures high flexibility and broad applicability: it allows for the generation of grammatical indexes that can be easily applied to a wide range of written sources and can be progressively enriched to include new graphic variants, pronunciations, or meanings. The database allows research on the whole text of the Dictionarium sinico-latinum with a variety of modalities.
