Les glosses al Cant de Joan Antoni Almela en el quart centenari de la canonització de sant Vicent Ferrer (València, 1855)
2018
[Resumen] Existe una larga tradición en catalán de glosas explicativas a palabras consideradas obscuras o anticuadas en textos literarios antiguos. Esta tradición se remonta al siglo XVI, con la publicación de la obra de Ausiàs March, a causa del cambio de modelo de lengua literaria que se produce con el Renacimiento. Esta clase de glosas continúan durante los siglos XVII, XVIII y XIX, con una finalidad sobre todo actualizadora, para facilitar la lectura de los textos antiguos al lector moderno. El poeta valenciano del siglo XIX Joan Antoni Almela, comprometido con la restauración de la lengua literaria a partir del modelo de los clásicos, se vale también de este recurso para facilitar al l…
Il Rinascimento polacco: un'opportunità perduta per un rinnovamento culturale?
2020
A massive Polish presence in Italy, particularly during the 16th and 17th century, is the fact often referred to when the roots of Polish humanist culture is under discussion. Indeed, Poland has been the only state in Central and Eastern Europe which absorbed on a larger scale the ideals of the Renaissance. However, the assimilation of Italian culture was the case, as it seems, in just a certain number of students, particularly those who had contacts with the University of Padova and the culture which flourished in the Republic of Venice. The element that distinguished the Poles from the others was the idea of struggle, mainly spiritual struggle, in connection with the post-Tridentine cultu…
Pectin: A Long-Neglected Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial.
2020
First reported in the late 1930s and first partly explained in 1970, the antibacterial activity of pectin remained almost ignored until the late 1990s. The concomitant emergence of research on natural antibacterials and on new usages of pectin polysaccharides, including those in medicine widely researched in Russia, has led to a renaissance of research in the physiological properties of this uniquely versatile polysaccharide ubiquitous in plants and fruits. Collecting scattered information, this study provides an updated overview on the subtle factors affecting the behaviour of pectin as antimicrobial. Less degraded pectin extracted via acid-free routes, we argue in the conclusions, will so…

Poisoning histories in the Italian renaissance: The case of Pico Della Mirandola and Angelo Poliziano.
2018
Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and Angelo Poliziano were two of the most important humanists of the Italian Renaissance. They died suddenly in 1494 and their deaths have been for centuries a subject of debate. The exhumation of their remains offered the opportunity to study the cause of their death through a multidisciplinary research project. Anthropological analyses, together with documentary evidences, radiocarbon dating and ancient DNA analysis supported the identification of the remains attributed to Pico. Macroscopic examination did not reveal paleopathological lesions or signs related to syphilis. Heavy metals analysis, carried out on bones and mummified tissues, showed that in Pico's…
Electrifying Organic Synthesis
2018
Abstract The direct synthetic organic use of electricity is currently experiencing a renaissance. More synthetically oriented laboratories working in this area are exploiting both novel and more traditional concepts, paving the way to broader applications of this niche technology. As only electrons serve as reagents, the generation of reagent waste is efficiently avoided. Moreover, stoichiometric reagents can be regenerated and allow a transformation to be conducted in an electrocatalytic fashion. However, the application of electroorganic transformations is more than minimizing the waste footprint, it rather gives rise to inherently safe processes, reduces the number of steps of many synth…
Pittori e musici nell’Italia del Cinque e Seicento
2014
Due quadri di G. A. Sirani mostrano allegoricamente lo stretto legame fra poesia, pittura e musica riconosciuto nell’Italia della prima modernità. Il saggio esplora la natura del legame fra pittura e musica, prendendo in considerazione tre livelli: la teoria (le proporzioni pitagoriche e la riflessione sul mestiere di pittore), la composizione (termine usato tanto dai pittori quanto dai musici), la vita quotidiana (pittori che fanno musica e musici che disegnano e dipingono).
L'interés de la Renaixença valenciana pels poetes de l'Edat Moderna
2013
L’Estudio histórico-crítico de los poetas valencianos de los siglos XVI, XVII i XVIII, que en 1883 publicaren Josep Maria Puig i Torralva i Francesc Martí i Grajales, representa, a hores d’ara, el major exponent de l’interés que els escriptors valencians de la segona meitat del segle XIX manifestaren pels poetes valencians de l’Edat Moderna. És a dir, pels seus predecessors. D’aquesta manera, el present treball aporta informació biogràfica i bibliogràfica sobre tots dos autors, i analitza el contingut d’una obra que, malgrat haver passat pràcticament inadvertida per als estudiosos de la literatura contemporània, ha coadjuvat a la recuperació dels escriptors valencians de l’Edat Moderna que …
