Luminescence dating applied to Saint-Irénée’s church (Lyon, France)
2014
The aim of the study presented here is to propose a new view on the chronology of early medieval buildings in Europe and on the related building modes. If several studies have proved the efficiency of this multidisciplinary process, the case of St. Irenee’s church is very representative of the contributions of such an approach. This church is one of the oldest witnesses of the Christianization in Lyon, capital city of Gauls, and of its evolution under the aegis of Burgonds. However the small number of preserved remains of its early states has shown uncertainties in the interpretation of the chronology of the building use. There are two possibilities: is it the monument described by Gregory …

Christopher Duggan, the mafia and Fascism
2017
Il saggio inizia discutendo alcuni aspetti del primo libro di Christopher Duggan, La mafia durante il fascismo, pubblicato nel 1986. L’argomento principale del libro era la campagna antimafia che il regime fascista aveva affidato al prefetto Cesare Mori nella seconda metà degli anni Venti. I suoi tratti distintivi erano la rigorosa impostazione storica e l’uso di fonti archivistiche. Questi elementi erano in quel momento comuni a pochi altri lavori su questi temi, dal momento che non si era ancora pienamente affermata l’idea che la mafia potesse essere trattata come l’oggetto di una ricerca di storia. Del resto, lo stesso libro nella sua tesi di fondo scontava l’influenza di precedenti lett…

El mito de Icario en la General estoria de Alfonso X
2013
This article studies the myth of Icarus as it is translated in the first part of Alfonso X's General estoria. Its analysis highlights aspects that are usually found in the mythographical episodes of the Alfonsine estoria, particularly linked with its possible sources and its internal characteristics. The latter ones are defined by the anonymity of the quote and an evident moral intention. Regarding the sources, if it is known that the mythography gets to the Alfonsine text through two paths, the gloss in the manuscripts and a mythographical work, the exact source or sources used by Alfonsine historians are still unidentified. I have begun searching where the elements that are found in no pr…
Orazio, la Fortuna, l’unicorno: lettura di CB 93a
2017
Questa nota presenta l’analisi di CB 93a (Cum Fortuna voluit me vivere beatum), un breve componimento poetico che risulta fondato su una tematica ben presente in molte liriche classiche e medievali: il lamento per l’arrivo della vecchiaia che, di conseguenza, esclude l’attività amorosa. Il componimento, quanto a immagini e motivi, risulta affine a Orazio, carm. III 26 (Vixi puellis nuper idoneus). Il poeta medievale aggiunge, di suo, alcuni temi simbolici e cristiani, quali la figura dell’unicorno e la separazione del grano dalla paglia (Mt. 3, 12), particolarmente appropriati per il sec. XIII e nella prospettiva della salvezza. This paper offers the analysis of Carmina Burana (CB) 93a (Cum…

A Characterization of Bispecial Sturmian Words
2012
A finite Sturmian word w over the alphabet {a,b} is left special (resp. right special) if aw and bw (resp. wa and wb) are both Sturmian words. A bispecial Sturmian word is a Sturmian word that is both left and right special. We show as a main result that bispecial Sturmian words are exactly the maximal internal factors of Christoffel words, that are words coding the digital approximations of segments in the Euclidean plane. This result is an extension of the known relation between central words and primitive Christoffel words. Our characterization allows us to give an enumerative formula for bispecial Sturmian words. We also investigate the minimal forbidden words for the set of Sturmian wo…
The determinants of efficiency: the case of the Spanish industry
2002
The aim of this paper is to analyse the factors explaining the technical efficiency of Spanish industrial sectors during the period 1991–1994 using the Survey of Business Strategies (SBE) of the Ministry of Industry and Energy. It analyses whether efficiency can be explained by factors external to the firm such as the degree of competition in the markets in which it operates, characteristics of the firm (size, organization, advantages of location, participation of public capital, etc.), as well as the effects of dynamic disturbances that may affect the degree of utilization of the productive capacity.
