Islamic metalwork from Afghanistan (9th-13th century). The documentation of the IsMEO Italian Archaeological Mission
Get PDFITALIANO: Il volume presenta le collezioni metallistiche documentate dalla Missione Archeologica Italiana IsMEO in Afghanistan (1957-1978), ad oggi ancora largamente inedite e purtroppo quasi del tutto scomparse. I circa 439 manufatti e frammenti, ascrivibili all’arco cronologico tra il IX e il XIII secolo, attestano una produzione ricca e variegata che merita di contributire alla discussione accademica sulla metallistica islamica medievale. Lo studio propone un catalogo articolato in 14 classi funzionali e un’analisi morfologica, decorativa ed epigrafica dei manufatti. Inoltre, l’analisi dei reperti emersi dagli scavi di Ghazni e di quelli presumibilmente provenienti dallo stesso sito conferma il ruolo della città quale importante centro produttivo. / ENGLISH: The volume presents the Islamic metalwork collections documented by the IsMEO Italian Archaeological Mission in Afghanistan (1957-1978), largely still unpublished today and sadly lost for the majority. The approximately 439 artefacts and fragments, datable to the chronological range between the 9th and 13th century, attest to a rich and varied production that deserves to be part of the scholarly discussion on Islamic medieval metalwork. The study offers a catalogue organised in 14 functional classes as well as a morphological, decorative and epigraphic analysis of the artefacts. Moreover, the analysis of the finds emerged from the excavations in Ghazni and those allegedely coming from the same site confirms the role played by the city as an important production centre

Il lupo e Cappuccetto rosso tra politica e cultura: alcune riflessioni
Get PDFITALIANO: Nella cultura popolare, la figura del lupo è tradizionalmente associata all’immagine del nemico politico. L’esempio più celebre viene offerto ancora oggi dalla fiaba Cappuccetto rosso, i cui protagonisti anche in età contemporanea hanno personificato i mutamenti nei rapporti di genere e nelle dinamiche politiche, ideologiche e sociali avvenuti nel tempo. / ENGLISH: In popular culture, the figure of the wolf is traditionally associated with the image of the political enemy. The most famous example is still the cautionary tale of Little Red Riding Hood, whose protagonists even in the contemporary times have personified the changes in gender relations and in political, ideological and social dynamics that have taken place over time
Body and Spirit in the Middle Ages. Literature, Philosophy, Medicine
Get PDFA crucial question throughout the Middle Ages, the relationship between body and spirit cannot be understood without an interdisciplinary approach – combining literature, philosophy and medicine. Gathering contributions by leading international scholars from these disciplines, the collected volume explores themes such as lovesickness, the five senses, the role of memory and passions, in order to shed new light on the complex nature of the medieval Self
Manfredi Potentini Vita Gerardi (BHL 3429) sive Laudatio sancti Gerardi episcopi Potenti
Get PDFITALIANO: La "Vita Gerardi" o "Laudatio sancti Gerardi episcopi Potentini" (BHL 3429) è l’unica opera nota attribuita a Manfredi, vescovo di Potenza. La presente edizione, a differenza di quella negli "Acta Sanctorum" (1883), si basa su tutti i manoscritti attualmente noti e reperibili, oltre che sull’edizione a stampa di Ughelli (1659). / ENGLISH: The "Vita Gerardi" or "Laudatio sancti Gerardi episcopi Potentini" (BHL 3429) is the only known work attributed to Manfredi, bishop of Potenza.

Island effects in Spanish comprehension
No full textA growing body of experimental syntactic research has revealed substantial variation in the magnitude of island effects, not only across languages but also across different grammatical constructions. Adopting a well-established experimental design, the present study examines island effects in Spanish using a speeded acceptability judgment task. To quantify variation across grammatical constructions, we tested extraction from four different types of structure (subjects, complex noun phrases, adjuncts and interrogative clauses). The results of Bayesian mixed effects modelling showed that the size of island effects varied between constructions, such that there was clear evidence of subject, adjunct and interrogative island effects, but not of complex noun phrase island effects. We also failed to find evidence that island effects were modulated by participants’ working memory capacity as measured by an operation span task. To account for our results, we suggest that variability in island effects across constructions may be due to the interaction of syntactic, semantic-pragmatic and processing factors, which may affect island types differentially due to their idiosyncratic properties.Ayuda predoctoral Severo Ochoa del Principado de Asturas (PA-17-PF-BP16105)

Standardisation and units of measurement used in pottery production: the case of the post-medieval botijuela or Spanish olive jar made in Seville
No full textThe aim of this paper is to determine the degree of standardization of pottery production and the units of measure that regulated their production. The group chosen to test this methodology is known as the Spanish olive jar. It is a series of productions manufactured in the south of the Iberian Peninsula throughout the Early Modern Period. The methodology begins with the morphometric characterisation of each vessel around a series of quantitative variables. Then, the Test for Normality is performed, and the Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient is calculated. Subsequently, a Cluster Analysis identifies different groups of Spanish olive jars. The Principal Component Analysis provides additional information that allows for a deeper understanding of the groups obtained. As a final step, calculating the Coefficient of Variation allows us to know the degree of standardization of each variable. Finally, once all these data are known, the possible units of measure that governed the production system of the Spanish olive jar can be recognized.El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar el grado de estandarización de una producción cerámica y las unidades de medida que regulan su producción. El grupo elegido para probar esta metodología se conoce como Spanish olive jar o botijuela, fabricada en el sur de la Península Ibérica a lo largo del período moderno temprano. La metodología hace una caracterización morfométrica de cada vasija usando varias variables cuantitativas. Después se realiza la ‘prueba de normalidad’, y se calcula el coeficiente de ‘correlación producto momento’; a éste sigue un análisis de grupos de las diversas botijuelas. El análisis de componentes principales identifica además diversos grupos de botijuelas, mientras el análisis de componentes principales ayuda a entender mejor dichos grupos. También se calcula el coeficiente de variación para identificar el grado de estandarización de cada variable. Finalmente, con todos estos datos se pueden identificar las posibles unidades de medida que regían el sistema de producción de estas botijuelas
