POSSIBLE INFLUENCES OF ARABIC WRITTEN LANGUAGE ON THE MATHEMATICAL THOUGHT
It’s known that the language is the voice of all citizens by which they express their feelings and thoughts and is a means of understanding between human beings despite the different languages between them. Each language has its own rules and principles of language mastery fluent to express and provides its information to others with ease. Is well known that the Arabs had a great quality of rhetoric and eloquence of language and at that time excelled in various sciences, thanks to their proficiency of the Arabic language, for example, the famous mathematicians ß…bir’…ibn ðay…n and Mu|ammed ’…ibn M™s… …l-³aw…rizmy and their great contributions to the science of mathematics and especially the…
Réécriture et reformulation des topiques descriptifs du ġazal homoérotique dans le Nasīm al-ṣabā (La brise du vent d’est) d’Ibn Ḥabīb al-Ḥalabī (m. 1…
2023
In his work entitled Nasīm al-ṣabā (The Breeze of the East Wind), Ibn Ḥabīb al-Ḥalabī (d. 1377) dedicates a chapter to the description of a young man (ġulām). This chapter is characterized by the presence of two parts which differ from a stylistic point of view. This paper deals with the central part of the chapter, which is entirely descriptive. The description of the ephebe in this central part shows great detail both descriptively (regarding the physical features of the ephebe) and thematically (regarding the topics used). In this part, the descriptive topics of the ephebe present in the classical homoerotic ġazal are transposed and reformulated in saǧ‘ (rhymed prose). A salient feature …
Adhesives and mounting media in aerobiological sampling
1989
Abstract Because microscopical identification and counting is vital in most aerobiological studies, pollen and spores are usually collected on some adhesive. The adhesives should not be water-soluble. For optically best results water-soluble mounting media with refractive indices about 1.40–1.45 are used. There are compatibility problems between water insoluble adhesives and watery mounting media. The former tend to move to stripes or droplets, distorting the image and moving the spores from their original positions. To solve this problem several adhesives based on silicone oils, silicone greases and vaseline or their mixtures were tested. The usual watery mounting media, glycerine gelatine…
Migration for Knowledge. A Circumnavigation Between West andEast
2020
Migration of men has always been accompanied by a migration of knowledge, whether scientific or related to the tradition to which they belong. This article aims to highlight the transition of Greek sophia from the West to Persia and from Baghdad to the East. A movement of thought analyzed by Muslims experts and translators during the Middle Age. The process of translation and transmission of knowledge will accomplish an opposite periplus during the Napoleonic era, going back from the West to the Arab world. This process will give birth to the nahḍa phase, which is the cultural and literary awakening that will bring the Islamic countries living under the European colonization to meet and int…
Matrices of the frequency and similarity of Arabic letters and allographs
2020
Published online: 19 February 2020 Indicators of letter frequency and similarity have long been available for Indo-European languages. They have not only been pivotal in controlling the design of experimental psycholinguistic studies seeking to determine the factors that underlie reading ability and literacy acquisition, but have also been useful for studies examining the more general aspects of human cognition. Despite their importance, however, such indicators are still not available for Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), a language that, by virtue of its orthographic system, presents an invaluable environment for the experimental investigation of visual word processing. This paper presents fo…
Cuore, anima e mente. Un esempio di circolarità lessicale tra tradizione islamica e cristiana
2018
The starting point of this article is a topic that features in the synoptic Gospels (Mt 22, 37; Mc 12, 29-31; Lc 10, 27) and is presented as the most essential among Jesus’ precepts: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind”. The three terms that are mentioned here – heart, soul, and mind – are of prominent importance both in the Christian and Islamic spiritual traditions. We compare them and the respective traditions of commentary both on a lexicographical and exegetical level. The analysis of similarities and differences issued from a comparison of the contexts of the exegeses, and the respective reactions to the common Biblical background,…
I tamburi a cornice in Sicilia
2015
Le prime attestazioni della presenza del tamburo a cornice in Sicilia risalgono al V secolo a.C. Lo strumento è poi documentato fino ai giorni nostri attraverso raffigu¬razioni, documenti d’archivio, resoconti di viaggiatori stranieri, testi di interesse folklorico e, piuttosto ampiamente, dalla ricerca etnomusicologica moderna, per mezzo di audio-registrazioni e videofilmati. Morfologia, tecniche esecutive, repertori, decorazioni, contesto d’uso dei tamburelli in Sicilia si inscrivono nel più ampio quadro dell’area italiana (centro-meridionale) e mediterranea, ma con alcune specificità, soprattutto nelle tecniche esecutive. Queste, sebbene affini a quelle impiegate in altre regioni italian…
IL "SICULO-ARABIC" E GLI ARABISMI MEDIEVALI E MODERNI DI SICLIA
2013
IL «SICULO ARABIC» E GLI ARABISMI SICILIANI MEDIEVALI E MODERNI Nell’ambito degli studi sulla vicenda storico-linguistica del periodo arabo-normanno in Sicilia, il saggio di Agius (1996), dal titolo Siculo Arabic, richiama l’attenzione sul Trattato di Ibn Makkī detto “il Mazarese”, rientrante nel filone dei “laḥn works”. Si tratta di opere volte a segnalare e correggere gli errori ricorrenti tra gli utenti delle diverse varietà di arabo, errori intesi come devianze dal modello classico. La possibilità di disporre di una discreta quantità di dati presumibilmente “siciliani” (dati “interferiti” e “sgrammaticati” possibilmente riconducibili a una “varietà ponte” tra l’arabo e gli arabismi dial…
Dalya Abudi, Mothers and Daughters in Arab Women's Literature. The family Frontier, Brill, Leiden-Boston 2011, pp. 335
2013
Le dinamiche inter-relazionali all’interno della famiglia araba e, in particolare, il rapporto madre-figlia nella letteratura araba femminile nell’ultimo mezzo secolo sono le tematiche centrali dell’interessante studio di Dalya Abudi, Mothers and Daughters in Arab Women’s Literature. Il saggio in questione presenta molteplici spunti di riflessione e svariati motivi di interesse. In primis, la scelta del tema. Partendo dall’assunto che la famiglia araba rappresenta una sorta di microcosmo della società, l’analisi interdisciplinare delle dinamiche inter-familiari condotta dalla studiosa rigorosamente dall’interno, ha come immediata conseguenza la demistificazione degli stereotipi tradizionali…
