Das erste zoologische Kompendium in der Zeit der Renaissance: Edward Wottons Schrift „Über die Differenzen der Tiere”
1990
The English physian Edward Wotton wrote the first zoological compendium in the time of the Renaissance. As a convinced representative of Renaissance-Humanism Wotton strictly applied Aristotelian methodological principles to Aristotelian facts. In this way he tried to make Classical Antiquity complete; the Renaissance of ancient zoology is here tantamount to a new beginning. Wotton's achievement is in the first place to have provided a good summary of the whole of ancient zoological knowledge to which he added a few observations of his own. He carried through the Aristotelian concept of differentiation by many distinguishing features more strictly than Aristotle himself and all subsequent au…
De venta en venta hasta El <i>Quijote</i>. Un viaje europeo por la literatura de Mesón
2007
En estas páginas se recorre un itinerario que, a través de ventas y mesones, conduce desde los Canterbury Tales hasta el Quijote, en una geografía literaria europea. Se hace parada en las colecciones italianas de novelle (Sachetti, Bandello), en los poemas caballerescos del Renacimiento (Pulci, Ariosto), en el teatro del Quinientos (de Gil Vicente a Lope de Rueda, pasando por los Intronati de Siena), en la Comedia Nueva y en las comedias de mesón de Lope de Vega, en el teatro isabelino (Shakespeare sobre todo), en el Guzmán de Alfarache, en La ilustre fregona (novela y comedia), y así hasta el Quijote, en cuya multiplicada experiencia de ventas y caminos demoramos el paso. Nos acompaña siem…
Self-Translation in the Northern Renaissance: Jan van der Noot’s French Verse
2020
The Brabantian poet Jan van der Noot (1539-95?) wrote in both Dutch and French, and composed several works in both languages. Sometimes the two versions were published separately: the Dutch collection Het Theatre and its French counterpart, Le Theatre, were each printed in London in 1568. More often, the versions appeared alongside each other in bilingual editions: Cort begryp der XII boeken Olympiados / Abregé des douze livres Olympiades (1579), Lofsang van Braband / Hymne de Braband (1580), and various short pieces reproduced in anthologies of Van der Noot’s poetry (1580-95). The present study contends that Van der Noot’s self-translations should be read as translations from Dutch to Fren…
Rome re-imagined : twelfth-century Jews, Christians and Muslims encounter the eternal city
2011

Past, present and future of 68Ge/68Ga generators.
2013
(68)Ga represents one of the very early radionuclides applied to positron emission tomography (PET) imaging at a time when even the wording PET itself was not established. Today it faces a renaissance in terms of new (68)Ge/(68)Ga radionuclide generators, sophisticated (68)Ga radiopharmaceuticals, and state-of-the-art clincial diagnoses via positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). Thanks to the pioneering achievement of radiochemists in Obninsk, Russia, a new type of (68)Ge/(68)Ga generators became commercially available in the first years of the 21st century. Generator eluates based on hydrochloric acid provided "cationic" (68)Ga instead of "inert" (68)Ga-complexes, openi…
Future Physics Programme of BESIII
2020
There has recently been a dramatic renewal of interest in the subjects of hadron spectroscopy and charm physics. This renaissance has been driven in part by the discovery of a plethora of charmonium-like $XYZ$ states at BESIII and $B$ factories, and the observation of an intriguing proton-antiproton threshold enhancement and the possibly related $X(1835)$ meson state at BESIII, as well as the threshold measurements of charm mesons and charm baryons. We present a detailed survey of the important topics in tau-charm physics and hadron physics that can be further explored at BESIII over the remaining lifetime of BEPCII operation. This survey will help in the optimization of the data-taking pla…
L'encomio, la guerra, la catastrofe. L'Orlando furioso poema della crisi del potere
2020
L’Orlando furioso, specie nella sua edizione definitiva, è il poema della crisi del Rinascimento: riflette la drammatica situazione politica in cui versavano gli stati italiani, fino a farsene a suo modo interprete, pur senza mai derogare del tutto alle regole che il genere letterario al quale appartiene gli impone. Molti studi recenti hanno indagato, infatti, proprio questi aspetti del poema, generalmente trascurati dalla tradizione critica pregressa, smentendo quelle interpretazioni, talvolta corrive, dell’Orlando furioso quale grande poema della leggerezza, opera archetipica di un fantastico che rifuggirebbe qualsivoglia implicazione profonda con la storia, con il proprio tempo e con la …
Gilding and pigments of Renaissance marble of Abatellis Palace: non-invasive investigation by XRF spectrometry
2012
Most of the artworks constituting the collection of Renaissance statuary of Abatellis Palace in Palermo (Sicily) show evidence of colour layers and fragments of gold foil that probably once covered the whole marble surface. The restoration of some of these statues has allowed to carry out archaeometric studies about the painting technique and to highlight the original materials and inclusion present on the precious marbles by two famous Italian sculptors of the Renaissance, Francesco Laurana and Antonello Gagini. The measurements have been performed in situ through the integrated use of two non-invasive techniques: visible fluorescence stimulated by ultraviolet light and X-ray fluorescence.…
The death penalty in Valencia (1450-1500), numbers, urban spaces and funeral ritualities from the Brotherhood of Innocents and Helpless
2021
Mediante una combinación de fuentes documentales de origen y procedencia diversa, se han computado fehacientemente 737 ejecuciones en Valencia entre los años 1450 y 1500. El artículo analiza este aspecto de la realidad social, judicial y política de la Valencia del Renacimiento a la luz de los recientes planteamientos historiográficos sobre la materia. Se destaca el impacto del Santo Oficio (a partir de 1482) dentro del contexto penal de la ciudad, se analiza el papel restaurador y reconciliador de la Cofradía de Inocentes y Desamparados, y se aborda la contribución de esta singular hermandad a la re-significación de los espacios urbanos y periurbanos. Through a combination of documentary s…
¿Se atrapa antes a un mentiroso que a un cojo? Mentira, engaño, sinceridad y verdad en Los ensayos de Michel de Montaigne
2021
espanolLos estudios actuales sobre la mentira priman su lado epistemico y desatienden los aspectos morales. Tal distincion es clara en los intentos de diferenciar la mentira de la intencion de enganar, y tienen como contrapartida una concepcion de la verdad realista. Por ello, las interpretaciones que cuestionan o minimizan la existencia de la Verdad tienden a ser rechazadas, y parece que tampoco podrian abordar satisfactoriamente la mentira. En este articulo cuestionaremos dicha asuncion, mostrando como un autor del Renacimiento, Michel de Montaigne, sostiene una perspectiva “negadora” de la verdad y critica la mentira, precisamente destacando su dimension moral.
