Gerusalemme Liberata - Synestetic Analysis

Key Points

This project aims to explore the interconnected dimensions of Torquato Tasso's poem through a synesthetic lens, revealing underlying themes.
Transformed over 115,000 letters of 'Jerusalem Delivered' into four dimensions: numbers, digital roots, musical notes, and colors.
Utilized statistical distributions to analyze patterns linked to dominant themes of the poem.
Provided a complete CSV dataset and graphical visualizations for future academic use.
Significant patterns identified in themes such as Christian command (Gold Goffredo) and dawn light (Amber of the East).
Patterns also linked to demonic forces (Ebony of Hell) and enchanted forest themes (Enchantment of Forest).

Abstract

This project presented a complete synesthetic analysis of Torquato Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered, transforming 115, 000+ letters into four interconnected dimensions: numbers (1--21), digital roots (1--9), musical notes (21 notes), and creative poetic colors (21 hues). The complete CSV dataset is ready for academic publications on Zenodo and arXiv, with graphical visualizations integrated in this LaTeX document. The interdisciplinary approach unites mathematics, music, visual art, and classic Italian literature, creating an innovative bridge between digital humanities, algorithmic art, and computational literary criticism. Statistical distributions reveal significant patterns linked to dominant poem themes: Christian command (Gold Goffredo), dawn light (Amber of the East), demonic forces (Ebony of Hell), and enchanted forest (Enchantment of Forest). The work is immediately publishable on Overleaf, with all graphs generated in LaTeX/TikZ or AI image generators, complete tables, and bibliography formatted according to academic standards.
