Llengua i espiritualitat en la Vita Christi d’Isabel de Villena
2015
Resum:La Vita Christi de sor Isabel de Villena es gestà en la dècada dels 60 del segle XV a partir dels tractats que l’abadessa del monestir de la Trinitat de València usava per a formar les seues monges i per a suscitar en elles la contemplació de Jesús a través dels ulls de Maria i de les dones que l’envoltaren. La comparació de la llengua i de l’estil del Tractat de la Passió i els de les edicions de 1497 i 1513 ha permès comprovar que aquells s’adaptaren a la sensibilitat religiosa i lingüística de cada moment. El llenguatge de l’abadessa, culte i popular alhora, no es deixà influir pel de Corella. Tanmateix, sor Aldonça de Montsoriu, l’editora de l’incunable, intentà 'vendre' l’«elegan…
Arti magiche, influenze diaboliche e malefici in Sicilia nei secoli XIV e XV
2020
I dati sulla magia nella Sicilia tardo-medievale sono scarsi, ma i documenti testimoniano la commistione tra magia, religione e medicina. Le presunte maghe sono spesso donne sole, prive di un cognome che le collochi in un contesto socio-familiare. Il maleficio operato dallo schiavo Giorgio ai danni del vecchio padrone apre uno spiraglio sui riti magici portati in Sicilia dagli schiavi. L’episodio segue gli schemi della magia tradizionale e la sua assoluzione pare legata all’intervento del nuovo padrone. La magia è un campo aperto senza confini spaziali e sociali, Giorgio comunica il suo sapere popolare a speziali e mercanti di Palermo che lo ascoltano, lo temono e ne seguono le indicazioni.…

The Gospel of St John in Literature
1997
‘Idou ho anthropos’ (Latin Ecce homo, ‘Behold the man’) are the words used by Pilate in presenting Jesus to the Jews, bound, scourged, crowned with thorns, and wearing a purple robe (John 19:15). Most interpreters of Pilate’s laconic statement have taken Ecce homo to mean, ‘Here is the poor fellow!’, the speaker’s rhetoric having the purpose of eliciting pity from the spectators, or contemptuously ridiculing the Jews for taking such a lowly and risible figure’s claim to kingship over them so seriously, or provoking them into demanding Christ’s release. Among those exegetes interested in drawing out the theological implications of Pilate’s pronouncement, some suggest that John here emphasize…
Concept and Treatment of Hydrocephalus in the Greco-Roman and Early Arabic Medicine
2007
In the ancient medical literature hydrocephalus was not often described although its existence and symptomatology were well known. Most detailed descriptions of hydrocephalus including the surgical treatment are extant in the encyclopaedic works on medicine of the physicians Oreibasios and Aetios from Amida from the 4th and 6th centuries AD, respectively. Because of their broad scientific interests, this type of physicians, typical for the late Roman empire, were known as philosophy-physicians (iota alpha tau rho o sigma o phi iota sigma tau alpha iota). They defined hydrocephalus in contrast to our present understanding as a fluid collection excluding abscesses visible as a bulging tumour …

The short die young: the interrelationship between stature and longevity-evidence from skeletal remains.
2005
It has long been observed that tall people display longer life spans. The current data were employed to verify this association within the bioarchaeological context. To this end, stature and its association with age-at-death were analyzed in a pooled sample of 2,923 skeletons. Height was estimated from proxy indicators based on the maximum length of the humerus, radius, femur, and tibia. Stature estimation followed the procedure outlined by Pearson ([1899] Philos. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. [A] 192:169-244), incorporating minor modifications by Rosing ([ 1988] Handbuch der vergleichenden Biologie des Menschen; Stuttgart: Gustave Fischer, p 586-600). Individual age estimates were classified into t…
From Illusion to Reality: A Brief History of Robotic Surgery.
2018
Purpose. Robotic surgery is currently employed for many surgical procedures, yielding interesting results. Methods. We performed an historical review of robots and robotic surgery evaluating some critical phases of its evolution, analyzing its impact on our life and the steps completed that gave the robotics its current popularity. Results. The origins of robotics can be traced back to Greek mythology. Different aspects of robotics have been explored by some of the greatest inventors like Leonardo da Vinci, Pierre Jaquet-Droz, and Wolfgang Von-Kempelen. Advances in many fields of science made possible the development of advanced surgical robots. Over 3000 da Vinci robotic platforms are ins…
