    "La migliore delle scuole possibili": qualche nota sulla teodicea di Priestley

    No full text
    Nell’epoca della Lettres sur les aveugles e di Candide, del Bon sens e dei Dialogues concerning natural religion, non mancano, nonostante la scarsa attenzione che vi dedicano gli studiosi odierni, tentativi di riproporre i tradizionali argomenti della teodicea. Tra questi merita di esser pur sommariamente ripercorso quello di Joseph Priestley. Lo scienziato e teologo unitariano recupera senza turbamenti una serie di argomenti che erano stati contestati da tempo, da Bayle e da molti altri: li declina però in forme almeno in parte originali, senza alcuna preoccupazione di fedeltà ad una qualche tradizione teologica, fosse pure quella eterodossa da lui stesso prediletta

    The choice of languages may have various causes and express various contents in the literature of the Ukrainian lands and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The author discusses questions of identity, linguistic pluralism, literary canon(s), methodologies for approaching the complex connections and reciprocal interferences of those elements on the general system of Ukrainian literature of the period of Baroque

    Diagenesis versus hydrothermalism and fluid–rock interaction within the Tuscan Nappe of the Monte Amiata CO2-rich geothermal area (Italy)

    No full text
    In southern Tuscany (central Italy), deep to shallow geothermal systems were active since the Pleistocene and comprise fluids carrying variable amounts of CO2. The Monte Amiata geothermal fields include two main reser- voirs: a deep one located in the Palaeozoic metamorphic succession (1300–3000 m deep) belonging to the Tus- can metamorphic ‘basement’ and a shallow one hosted in the Mesozoic sedimentary succession (500–1000 m deep) belonging to the Tuscan Nappe. Multiple sets of calcite veins were investigated in some outcrops of the Tuscan Nappe succession exposed in the Monte Amiata area and surroundings. Two main fluid systems were characterized: the former related to combined diagenetic syn-tectonic processes from highly saline fluids after interaction with the Late Triassic evaporites (Burano Fm) and the latter related to a fossil geothermal system, Pleistocene in age, fed by low-salinity meteoric fluids, carrying CO2, radiogenic Sr and heavy O isotopes after interaction with the subsurface rocks. Comparison with the present-day hydrothermal fluids allowed to sketch the thermal evolution of the system from past to present. Geochemical data proved that portions of the vein–host rocks were reset after interaction with CO2-rich fluids circulating in the past. Consequently, textural and mineral- ogical changes are expected to have occurred with respect to the undisturbed rock masses. Understanding these modifications, their location and extension, is a prerequisite to construct (i) geochemical models addressed to the comprehension of the diagenesis induced in sediments after long-term CO2 storage; and (ii) geological models applied to the prediction of rock heterogeneity distribution within the upper reservoirs, characterizing the shallow (500–1500 m) geothermal systems of southern Tuscany

    The author analyses two sermons belonging to two well known personnalities of Ukraine in the 17th century: the Metropolitan of Kyiv P. Mohyla and the poet, preacher and Professor of the Accademy Stefan Javors'kyj. The sermons, are devoted to a similar subject (a wedding), but the personal features and the function of each text are very different, in spite of the strict rhetorical rules of the genre and of the fact that the second has certainly be influenced by the firs

    This edition presents a selection of 15 sermons by Stefan Javors’kyj (1658–1722), a Ukrainian poet and preacher of the late 17th century. His imagination, knowledge, and rhetorical skills made him one of the leading European writers of his time. For political reasons, his sermons remained in manuscript for over 300 years. The editors have painstakingly transcribed the Ukrainian texts and annotated them in English. The edition makes Javors’kyj’s works available to scholars who wish to broaden their knowledge of an unknown part of early modern European literature
