2009
Abstract The chemical composition of essential oils of six Stachys species, S. cretica L. ssp. vacillans Rech. fil., S. germanica L., S. hydrophila Boiss., S. nivea Labill., S. palustris L. and S. spinosa L., obtained by hydrodistillation, was studied by GC and GC–MS. All the oils have in common a great percentage of fatty acids and esters (24.2–58.5%) and a high amount of sesquiterpenes (16–35.9%), with the exception of the oil from S. palustris , which consisted mainly of carbonylic compounds (25.4%). The antioxidant activity by DPPH test and the antiproliferative activity on a series of human cancer cell lines (C32, amelanotic melanoma and ACHN, renal cell adenocarcinoma) were investigat…

‘The Glossary in ms. Cambridge, St John’s College E.17 and Middle English Lexicography’,
2015
The only bilingual item of MS Cambridge, St John’s College, E.17 is a short glossary with French lemmata and English interpretamenta, copied in the upper part of f. 126r. The Middle English entries feature a number of rare words, including a few hapax legomena. In other instances, that of the St John’s glossary is the first occurrence of the word ever attested in Middle English. Hence, the little studied glossary reveals itself to be a treasure-trove for the lexicographer. Moreover, whereas the number of borrowings from French is limited to two words, the glossary contains several loanwords from Old Norse. This feature might help locate the glossary, whose origin, as well as that of the ent…

‘Dentro la Selva Ercinia’
2008
La digressione sulla Selva Ercinia (De bello Gallico VI, 26-29) è presa in esame da un punto di vista romano, piuttosto che germanico (anche perché Cesare aveva una limitata conoscenza della cultura germanica) e per quanto il suo contenuto può dire degli intendimenti di Cesare. I tre animali descritti (renna, alce, e uro) sono rappresentati secondo le regole del canone letterario e sono stati prescelti per la loro natura topica (e retorica) come emblemi della fauna settentrionale. Cesare vuole anche presentare al suo pubblico nuove specie di animali selvaggi come quelli apprezzati nei ludi circensi e che si potrebbero fare sfilare in un suo trionfo, insistendo al contempo sulla difficoltà/i…
