The medieval botanical lexicon in some falconry works in romance languages
2018
Durant l’edat mitjana, els tractats de falconeria es dedicaven, entre altres assumptes, a descriure els símptomes i malalties que patien les aus, i oferien com a cures pal·liatives diferents remeis terapèutics a partir de les plantes medicinals. Aquest treball presenta un inventari de termes botànics que registrem en una obra del segle xv, el Llibre de Caça, a més dels vocables corresponents que hem trobat en quatre obres de falconeria medieval de tantes altres llengües romàniques: portuguès, castellà, francès i italià. De cada terme exposem quines propietats curatives tenien, el nom científic de la planta de què procedeix, l’etimologia del mot, juntament amb l’ètim estàndard actual. Finalm…
La cetrería en los ejemplos, símiles y metáforas de san Vicente Ferrer
2012
Vincent Ferrer used in his sermons many and varied resources to make your message intelligible to its many listeners.

And, in addition to the textual sources, father Vincent often drew on his own experience and, indeed, to those aspects of the daily lives of his audienc…
Positive demographic effects of nest surveillance campaigns to counter illegal harvest of the Bonelli's eagle in Sicily (Italy)
2017
Illegal trade in wildlife has been identified as one of the main challenges to wildlife conservation. In 2010, an illegal trade-ring trafficking in birds of prey was uncovered in Sicily (southern Italy). This illegal trade targeted the three most endangered species in Italy: Bonelli's eagle Aquila fasciata, Lanner falcon Falco biarmicus and Egyptian vulture Neophron percnopterus, all of them long-lived territorial raptors threatened with extinction across their European distribution. Illegal harvest primarily involved young birds and eggs taken from nests. After the discovery of these activities, surveillance camps and camera traps connected to the mobile Global System for Mobile communicat…
Medicina animal en la Baja Edad Media hispánica y su relación con la medicina humana: aves, perros y caballos
2013
The high economic and social value of falcons, hounds and horses in the late Middle Ages led to the development of a specialized medical practice to keep them healthy and treat their diseases. A parallel production of technical works coded this medical knowledge, generating a specific doctrinal body. From the analysis of these treatises it is possible to fi nd close relationships with the current medical doctrine –galenism–, that go beyond the sharing of theories on humors and qualities. The importance of maintaining health and the conceptual instruments to achieve this aim, the precedence of diet as a therapeutic tool over drugs or surgery, treating by applying opposite, techniques of humo…
