La réformation de la coutume d'Auxerre : histoire externe
1999
The reform of customary laws of Auxerre : external analysis. The first text of the customary law of the bailiwick of Auxerre (1507) underwent a reform in 1561, the changes coming within the scope of the campaign led by the first President of the Parliament of Paris, Christophe de Thou. This article deals with an external analysis of the implementation of the reform. First, we have related the three stages of the reform : the preparatory work, the general assembly and the drafting of a formal text. For the first time, we have stidied the accounting practices of the reform, which brought to light precious information about procedures, protagonists, expenses and salaries. The second part conce…

This article offers a full updating of the biographical records of the writer Joan Roís de Corella (1435-1497) and his family: his great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, siblings and children.

Analysis of a Station Black-Out transient in SMR by using the TRACE and RELAP5 code
2014
The present paper deals with the investigation of the evolution and consequences of a Station Black-Out (SBO) initiating event transient in the SPES3 facility [1]. This facility is an integral simulator of a small modular reactor being built at the SIET laboratories, in the framework of the R&D program on nuclear fission funded by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development and led by ENEA. The SBO transient will be simulated by using the RELAP5 and TRACE nodalizations of the SPES3 facility. Moreover, the analysis will contribute to study the differences on the code predictions considering the different modelling approach with one and/or three-dimensional components and to compare the capa…
El ángel y el carnero en el Sacrificio de Isaac. Continuidad y variación en la cultura visual.
2020
La figura del carnero destaca de forma significativa dentro del simbolismo animalístico en el cristianismo. El presente artículo se centra en el estudio diacrónico de las representaciones de dicho animal insertas dentro del tipo iconográfico del Sacrificio de Isaac, cuya fuente literaria es el Génesis 22. El análisis pormenorizado de este elemento significante dentro del pasaje veterotestamentario se torna fundamental a la hora de acudir a los primeros textos realizados por los Padres de la Iglesia, generando en si la aparición del ángel portando el carnero, una variante tipológica dentro del devenir del tipo iconográfico en su continuidad y variación. El objetivo, por tanto, es atender a a…
Celebracje Wielkiego Tygodnia tradycji zachodniosyryjskiej w Kościele Syromalankarskim w Indiach
2018
Holy Week constitutes the climax of the liturgical life of every Christian community. Having a common base in Jerusalem, different communities shared a common heritage in the celebrations of these special sacred times. But each liturgical family created its own special background for the celebrations. One of the interesting and yet less-known areas of cultural accommodation of the liturgy is without any doubt India, where Christianity existed from the early centuries of Christendom. In this study attention is focused on the Holy Week celebrations of the Syro-Malankara Church, which is a branch of the West-Syriac Tradition. Describing the celebrations one can affirm the truth of the ancient …
Michel Foucault and the enigmatic origins of bio-politics and governmentality
2012
Even a superficial look at the classical ideas and practices of government of populations makes it immediately apparent that there is a peculiarity in Foucault’s genealogy of western bio-politics and governmentality. According to Foucault, western governmental rationality can be traced back to the Judeo-Christian tradition in general and to the Christian ideology and practice of the pastorate in particular. In this article, my purpose is to show that Christianity was not the prelude to what Foucault calls governmentality but rather marked a rupture in the development that started in classical Greece and Rome and continued in early modern Europe. With the rise of Christianity, the majority …
A Unique Case and Opportunity: In Favor of a Study on the UTC Label
2004
I want to concentrate on three broad themes in responding to the papers by Arlt and Collins. The first one is about archives and collecting and what I call the dilemmas of discography. Connected to these dilemmas is the question of the place of popular music within academia and the implications thereof for the distribution of funds. The second one is more concerned with concepts and ideas. And the third one relates to the position of Christianity in the African cultures and history we study and with its position in our academic field. Starting with the first theme, I want to direct our attention to the UTC record collection. For the study of popular African music the UTC series of over 700 …
