Ritual Experts and Participants in the Ancient Near East and the Hebrew Bible
2020
AbstractThe chapter summarizes the roles and tasks of ritual experts and participants within the Hebrew Bible and its cultural environment. The first part reflects on the responsibilities of the kings, the priests, and the priestesses within the ancient Near East (Mesopotamia, Mari, Hittite Anatolia) and ancient Egypt. Then the chapter turns to the concepts of the Hebrew Bible. The second part demonstrates how the priests and Levites take care for the rituals, the sacrifices, purity, teaching, and administration. Cult prophets and the king have their limited and special functions. Third, at certain points lay people may participate in the cult: the offering person, women, children, and the …

The Future of Historic Centers in Egyptian Intermediate Cities: Towards guidelines of urban revitalization.
2014
Centri storici sono i simboli di immagine della città. Sopra del proprio valore culturale loro soddisfano una missione importante nello sviluppo urbano moderno, creano l'identità e l'immagine della città. Il patrimonio di questi centri storici non sono solo carattere materiale, ma anche molto di più. In generale, la conservazione dei centri storici è fondamentalmente diversa dalla conservazione del singolo monumento. I centri storici, come città viventi devono soddisfare le diverse esigenze dei suoi cittadini con loro trasformazioni sostenibili. A partire dalla seconda metà del 21° secolo centri storici ex-abbandonati in Europa sono diventati di nuovo il focus del pubblico, accademico, isti…
Neutrons detect order in glasses
2005
The first glassy material was probably made in ancient Egypt some 4500 years ago, so the fact that the structure of glass is still one of the biggest puzzles in physics may come as a surprise. When a liquid is cooled very quickly, the atoms do not have time to arrange themselves into an ordered crystalline solid. Instead, the super cooled liquid falls out of equilibrium and into a disordered amorphous network, more commonly known as a glass.

Una propuesta para trabajar la proporción desde el arte
2013
[EN] We present a proposal addressed to students of the first courses of ESO. Through these activities, pupils will work concepts related with proportionality. Our proposal is developed along art history, the students will acquire skills related with proportionality through the uses the artists have done throughout history. Through a route beginning in ancient Egypt and ending in today Athens, students will act as the artists, architects or even tour guides to deal with technical problems and solve them mathematically. Some of the activities have been already implemented in the project Estalmat CV (a mathematic stimulation program for talented students) and later adapted to a conventional c…
La figura di Zosima, padre "autorevole", nella leggenda di Maria Egiziaca
2014
The legend of saint Maria Aegyptiaca knew a large diffusion in hagiographical tradition, between East and West, from VI-VII century to the end of the Middle Ages. Together with Maria, father Zosima is the most important figure of the legend (a true “deuteragonist” of the narrative plot). He meets the heremitic woman in the wilderness of Palaestina and has a particular relation with her, founded on deference and devotion, till the death and the engraving of the old Maria. The type of father Zosima, in the various versions of the story, obtains different cures by the poets and the authors. By some select specimens (essentially taked from Hildebertus of Lavardin’s «Vita beate Marie Egiptiace» …
An investigation of the pharmacological applications used for the Ancient Egyptian systemic model ‘ra-ib’ compared with modern Traditional Chinese Me…
2020
Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance Ancient Egyptian texts only offer glimpses into their conceptual understandings of the inner-body and illness manifestation. Explanations of how prescribed materia medica were believed to work are rare and obscure, often resulting in modern approximations for ancient terminology such as ‘ra-ib’—an ancient Egyptian classification predominantly translated as ‘stomach’—leading to misunderstandings of historical texts, and therefore their use of pharmacology. Aim of the study To investigate the ra-ib and the explanatory models of illness from the Egyptian perspective, and to explore the link between these and the prescribed selection of materia medica. To…
