No full textNavigating Polarizing Discourse: : An Instructional Coach’s Steering through the Reading Wars
No full text To inform literacy policy and practice of Foord (a continuous improvement school coach), the authors of this research designed a rapid literature review to increase his understanding of the current debates surrounding literacy instruction. Stemming from an initial list of readings and viewings representative of opposing sides of the so-called “Reading Wars”, the authors queried where and what literatures teachers could find that would assist their navigation of polarized views of reading instruction which revealed contradicting representations of reading science and calls for both narrowed and expanded views of reading acquisition.
Some Remarks on the Musical Lexicon of Dante’s Commedia
No full textThis essay examines four verbs from Dante’s Commedia that relate to music. Sections 2 and 3 discuss alleluiando and osannar, respectively. Section 4 considers the verb inneggiar—regarded, until Giorgio Inglese’s 2021 edition, as a corrupt reading of inveggiar—and argues that its similarity to the previously discussed denominal verbs, alleluiare and osannare, further supports inneggiar as the original lectio. Section 5 explores the meaning of alternando, a term with distinct, if not immediately obvious, musical resonance. As an introduction to the subject matter, section 1 provides an overview of the Commedia’s musical lexicon

No full textGreek and Latin Astrological Poetry Reconsidered
No full textAbstract: A discussion of La poésie astrologique dans la littérature grecque et latine by Vanessa Monteventi that contextualizes this meritorious yet imperfect monograph in modern research on ancient astrological poetry and focuses on the whole range of its philological, astronomical, and astrological aspects. It is shown that Monteventi’s title promises a broader perspective than what her book actually covers. A more fitting title would be La poésie didactique astrologique dans la littérature grecque et latine de l’Antiquité. Numerous poems relevant to her actual title yet not taken into account by the author are collected here for the first time ever without any pretense to completeness [see Appendix 2, p. 62], and their relevant characteristics briefly sketched, including discussions of two anything but trivial mathematical riddles contained in anonymous astrological poems. Besides a plethora of details that call for minor addenda/corrigenda, a few of Monteventi\u27s topics are discussed in depth, such as the autobiographical horoscope by the first didactic poet writing under the pseudonym of Manetho and the sources of the smaller astrological poem by John Camaterus.

Aestimatio: Sources and Studies in the History of Science (2023) 4: dsc02 1–74Résumé : Un examen de La poésie astrologique dans la littérature grecque et latine de Vanessa Monteventi qui situe cette monographie louable mais imparfaite dans le cadre des recherches modernes sur la poésie astrologique antique, en abordant l’ensemble de ses aspects philologiques, astronomiques et astrologiques. L’analyse montre que le titre de Monteventi embrasse une perspective plus large que celle qu’offre réellement l\u27ouvrage. La poésie didactique astrologique dans la littérature grecque et latine de l’Antiquité serait un titre plus approprié. De nombreux poèmes liés au titre de l\u27ouvrage, que l\u27auteure n\u27a cependant pas pris en compte, sont rassemblés ici pour la toute première fois, sans prétention à l’exhaustivité (voir Annexe 2, p. 62), et leurs caractéristiques sont brièvement esquissées. S\u27y ajoute l\u27examen de deux énigmes mathématiques contenues dans des poèmes astrologiques anonymes, qui sont loin d\u27être triviales. Outre une abondance de détails appelant de légères additions ou corrections, certains thèmes abordés par Monteventi font l’objet d’analyses détaillées, notamment l’horoscope autobiographique du premier poète didactique écrivant sous le pseudonyme de Manéthon et les sources du plus court poème astrologique de Jean Camatère.
