Il nucleo di manoscritti arabi provenienti da San Martino delle Scale e conservati presso la Biblioteca Centrale della Regione Siciliana
2019
Abstract Among the manuscripts located into the Central Library of the Sicilian Region “Alberto Bombace” in Palermo there is a corpus of Arabic manuscripts coming from the Benedictine Monastery of San Martino delle Scale, as testified by the shelf-mark S.M., indicating that they used to belong to the Library of San Martino delle Scale’s Monastery. Through an in-depth philological and historical investigation, the author will try to give a general description of the documents providing a reconstruction of their arrival to San Martino delle Scale first and then to the Central Library of the Sicilian Region.
Rumiando realias y otros intraducibles del léxico geográfico oral del Sáhara Occidental
2016
Resumen La esencia de este trabajo son las palabras que vamos a tratar de abordar y dilucidar en el ambito de un contexto muy concreto y limitado geografica y culturalmente: expresiones y denominaciones pertenecientes a la lengua hassania, variante arabe hablada en el Sahara Occidental, referidas a la geografia y al relieve de dicho territorio. Por lo tanto, se trata de un lexico especifico perteneciente a la tradicion oral del pueblo saharaui y que ha ido pasando de generacion en generacion, acumulando, con el correr de los anos, datos, matices y connotaciones que no debemos ignorar a la hora de nombrar o citar cualquier duna, pozo o acacia de cualquier rincon perdido del desierto. Son los…
Lengua, literatura y joyería. La "axuayca" del "Cancionero" de Baena
2020
espanolEl articulo recoge y comenta en la primera parte una serie de citas escalonadas en el tiempo que documentan en textos castellanos tres voces transcritas del arabe: xabeca, axubayca y axuayca. Esta ultima era bien conocida a traves del Cancionero de Baena. Atestiguadas en el area andaluza entre 1341 y 1568, las referencias recogidas permiten afirmar que axuayca es una variante grafica de axubayca que, a su vez, es un diminutivo de xabeca, la voz arabe para ‘red’. Los datos encajan y dan la clave para saber que tipo de joya era: un collar de perlitas, piedras y piezas de oro formando una redecilla.La segunda parte del trabajo esta dedicada a mostrar por que son inadmisibles las propues…
Effective feature descriptor-based new framework for off-line text-independent writer identification
2018
Feature engineering is a key factor of machine learning applications. It is a fundamental process in writer identification of handwriting, which is an active and challenging field of research for many years. We propose a conceptually computationally efficient, yet simple and fast local descriptor referred to as Block Wise Local Binary Count (BW-LBC) for offline text-independent writer identification of handwritten documents. Proposed BW-LBC operator, which characterizes the writing style of each writer, is applied to a set of connected components extracted and cropped from scanned handwriting samples (documents or set of words/text lines) where each labeled component is seen as a texture im…
Remarks on the Historiography of Mathematics
2021
In this paper, I examine aspects of the methodological debate that originated in 2010, when the distinguished historian of mathematics Sabetai Unguru reviewed Roshdi Rashed’s edition of the Arabic translation of Apollonius’ Conics. In his review, Unguru criticized what Rashed calls “l’usage instrumental d’une autre mathématique pour commenter une oeuvre ancienne”. I consider this debate very important and will try to place it within in the discussion of the so-called “geometric algebra” that goes back to the seventies, by tracing the contributions of the main figures who took part in it.

Notes on the Arabic Manuscript III.C.4 in the Central Library of the Sicilian Region
2019
Abstract Among the Arabic manuscripts preserved in the Alberto Bombace Central Library of the Sicilian Region in Palermo there is an anonymous and acephalous document, the ms. III.C.4., which provides, as its only identification signs, the shelf-mark S.M.43., indicating that it used to belong to the Library of the Benedictine Abbey of San Martino delle Scale, and a cursory Italian explanatory annotation provided in 1796 by the Archbishop of Aleppo. As a preliminary step toward the critical analysis of the above-mentioned document, which will be the subject of further study, this paper will attempt to provide a codicological description of the manuscript together with a philological and hist…
