Concepts and Concept Formation in Early Modern Philosophy
2013
The Renaissance witnessed a revival of ancient and Arabic philosophical traditions, such as Platonism, Skepticism and Averroism. Renaissance syncretism was especially influential at the universities in Northern Italy, where several scholars reinterpreted Medieval Latin conceptions of intelligible species. In the sixteenth and seventeenth century, university teaching in most European universities was dominated by second scholasticism. Francisco Suarez was the most philosophically inventive, as well as most influential, among these early modern scholastics (1).
SULLA FIABA E SULLA LETTERATURA PER L'INFANZIA A PROPOSITO DI ALCUNI LIBRI
2023
L’articolo riflette su alcune proposte critiche contenute nel recente volume Di cosa parlano i libri per bambini. La letteratura per l’infanzia come critica radicale di Giorgia Grilli, studiosa di letteratura per l’infanzia da molti anni e traduttrice di classici della critica e della narrativa per ragazzi. Attingendo alle scienze cognitive, agli studi di antropologia, di psicologia degli archetipi, di filosofia e alla tradizione critica di settore, Grilli si interroga sul vero significato delle storie per bambini, sulla dimensione profondamente filosofica che alcuni classici per l’infanzia possiedono per dimostrare la complessità letteraria e antropologica di un ambito letterario ingiustam…
Some comments on the history of thermogravimetry
1990
Abstract In a review of the authors about the history of vacuum microbalance techniques (including a chronology in table form), also published in Thermochimica Acta, (ref. 1) it uas pointed out, that also some corrections are to be made on the history of therinogravimetry. The first findings of balances are dated to about 3000 B.C. A gravimetric hygrometer is mentioned by Nicolaus Cusanus in 1450. In the 19th century chemical reactions at variable temperatures uere investigated using balances. The very beginning of the thermogravinietry is antedated to the work of Talabot who in 1833 at Lyon equipped a laboratory with thermobalances for quality control of Chinese silk.
Early modern period adobe in Sicily: recent finds
2014
Earthen architecture in ancient Sicily can be linked to a technological continuity common to the whole Mediterranean basin. The island possesses numerous finds, dating back to periods from pre-history to the Hellenistic-Roman age, during which the adobe technique was common. Therefore the archaeological field had been the only one investigated, also due to the fact that more recent evidence of use of earth as a principal element in wall-building techniques was unknown in the Region. Recently traces of adobe were discovered in in the historical centre of Cefalù, on the northern coast of Sicily; these few portions are to be found in residential buildings made primarily of stone. Albeit modest…
La sombra del poder: Egisto
2017
El poder, si es efectivo, proyecta una sombra, fenómeno inherente a su necesaria entidad, y en el caso del género de poder que representa Clitemnestra la sombra es de todo punto necesaria, pues su poder precisa de la existencia de Egisto, a la vez que de su no presencia. Intentaremos ahondar en las razones por las que se llega al estado de cosas presente en la Orestea de Esquilo. The power, if it is effective, projects a shadow, phenomenon inherent in his necessary entity, and in the case of the genre of power that represents Clytemnestra shadow it is absolutely necessary, because it requires power from the existence of Aegisthus, while that of their non-presence. We try to delve into the r…
Foundations and Foundation Myths of the Troubadours
2019
A review of several origin myths relating to the creation of medieval Occitan lyric poetry. We see a preference for a “great man theory” of origins, though the “great man” may be a fictional woman. Medieval and early Renaissance Occitan authors, including Uc de Saint Circ, Guilhem Molinier, and Jean de Nostredame, used differing origin myths to validate literature in a language that was perceived not to carry the prestige of twelfth- and thirteenth-century Latin or fifteen- and sixteenth-century French.

The Source Value of Arabic Typikon-Manuscripts as Testimonials for the Byzantinization of the Melkites
2021
With the expansion of Islam, the patriarchates of Antioch, Jerusalem, and Alexandria were divided from the Byzantine Empire. The Orthodox Christians there still defined themselves as Byzantine Orthodox and began to adapt their liturgical customs by adopting Byzantine liturgical books. When Greek was not understood any longer, they began to translate and copy their liturgical books, thereby creating their own branch of tradition, which is marked by multilingualism, reception of their own Bible tradition as well as the exclusion of “neo-martyrs” from their calendar of saints.
