L'epigramma «Ad Carolum regem Francorum» di Enea Silvio Piccolomini fra dimensione encomiastica e professione di poetica
2016
This paper offers a strict analysis of Enea Silvio Piccolomini’s epigram 24 Van Heck (Ad Carolum regem Francorum), composed by the young humanist in praise of Charles VII of Valois, king of France, in july 1429 – and then soon after his coronation, which had place at Reims the 17th of July 1429: an "epigramma longum" (46 hexameters), in which we can find the admiration and the courtly exaltation of the new king of France, and the conception (classic and, particularly, Horatian) of the poetry who can make eternal the glory of the famous men.
History and Environmental Impact of Mining Activity in Celtic Aeduan Territory Recorded in a Peat Bog (Morvan, France)
2003
The present study aims to document historical mining and smelting activities by means of geochemical and pollen analyses performed in a peat bog core collected around the Bibracte oppidum (Morvan, France), the largest settlement of the great Aeduan Celtic tribe (ca. 180 B.C. to 25 A.D.). The anthropogenic Pb profile indicates local mining operations starting from the Late Bronze Age, ca. cal. 1300 B.C. Lead inputs peaked at the height of Aeduan civilization and then decreased after the Roman conquest of Gaul, when the site was abandoned. Other phases of mining are recognized from the 11th century to modern times. They have all led to modifications in plant cover, probably related in part to…

Glossing wind names in Low German in Salisbury? A newly discovered text in London, British Library, Cotton Vitellius A.xii
2018
It's an essay investigating a text on the names of the winds in ms London, British Library, Cotton Vitellius A.xii (s. xi), where both Latin and vernacular names are given. The text may ultimately derive from Einhard's Life of Charlemagne (ch. 29), but it appears as a self-contained text in the form of a Class Glossary. Although inserted in a manuscript copied in England at Salisbury, the vernacular words of the text are not in Old English. The essay makes a case for a possible connection with Flanders, with the text being one of the very rare surviving specimen of the Old Low Franconian language.
ESPLORANDO IL MEDIOEVO: HENRY GALLY KNIGHT E LA SICILIA

During his stay in the island, besides visiting more traditional landmarks of classical antiquity, Gally Knight’s specific interests will lead him not only to study prestigious architectural complexes like Monreale and Cefalù, but also to trace the medieval vestiges even of the island’s inner parts, such as Randazzo, Maniace, Troina. Gally Knight’s tour and the esulting volumes he published – The Normans in Sicily: being a Sequel to “An architectural…
