Klein, Hurwitz, and the “Jewish Question” in German Academia

2018

Mathematicians love to tell stories about people they once knew or perhaps only heard about. If the story happens to sound believable, others are apt to repeat it, possibly embellishing on the original tale. Such mathematical folklore occasionally finds its way into print, and once it does, readers are apt to take such stories at face value, lending them additional credibility. Occasionally, though, alleged facts come under scrutiny, and established stories are exposed as fiction. Yet even when someone comes along with decisive evidence refuting an earlier account it can easily happen that the original story just refuses to die.

“Tradizione” e tradizioni nell’opera di Mircea Eliade

2020

È noto come Mircea Eliade, uno tra i più interessanti e produttivi storici delle religioni del ’900, si sia interessato allo studio delle tradizioni popolari europee. Dalla leggenda di Mastro Manole alle credenze e ai riti legati alla Mandragora e a certe altre piante d’uso magico-medico, dalla stregoneria alle associazioni iniziatiche, ai testi e ai riti di questua di capodanno, numerose sono, in particolare, le sue indagini sul folklore slavo-balcanico. Basti scorrere il testo e guardare alla bibliografia della sua opera più nota, il “Trattato di storia delle religioni”, per rilevare il ruolo, tutt’altro che marginale, assegnato dallo studioso rumeno ai documenti folklorici e etnologici a…
