Il re sole bizantino. Note su ideologia imperiale e teocrazia nell’impero d’Oriente
No full textL’articolo tratta del simbolo teocratico per eccellenza, quello del re sole. Nella premessa, l’autore propone di definire la teocrazia “l’esercizio di un potere sciolto da ogni giustificazione istituzionale e connesso a una necessità naturale di portata cosmica”. Il testo prende le sue mosse dal dominato romano; il primo capitolo, in effetti, si concentra sull’uso del simbolo del re sole nella tarda antichità. Si esaminano qui alcuni passaggi tratti da autori sia pagani che cristiani – quali, tra gli altri, Eusebio di Cesarea, l’imperatore Giuliano, Temistio, Sinesio, Agapeto. Il secondo capitolo verte piuttosto sulle principali attestazioni del simbolo del re sole a Bisanzio; è dedicato dunque all’analisi di estratti di opere di Giorgio di Pisidia, Costantino VII, Michele Psello, Teodoro Prodromo e molti altri. Pure la cerimonia della prokypsis è fatta oggetto d’indagine in questo contesto. Il terzo capitolo, infine, accenna alla ripresa del simbolo del re sole nella Russia e nell’Europa occidentale fra XV e XVIII secolo.The article deals with the theocratic symbol par excellence, that of the Sun King. In the preface, the author proposes to define theocracy as the exercise of a power freed from all institutional justification and linked to a natural necessity of cosmic scope. The article takes the Roman Dominate as its starting point. The first chapter focuses on the use of the Sun King symbol in Late Antiquity. Some passages taken from both pagan and Christian authors – such as, among others, Eusebius of Caesarea, Emperor Julian, Themistius, Synesius, Agapetus – are examined here. The second chapter addresses the main attestations of the Sun King symbol in Byzantium. It is devoted to the analysis of excerpts from works by George of Pisidia, Emperor Constantine VII, Michael Psellos, Theodore Prodromos, and several others. The prokypsis ceremony is also investigated here. The third chapter, finally, mentions the revival of the Sun King symbol in Russia and Western Europe between the 15th and 18th centuries
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
“New Discoveries on Gregory of Nyssa in Syriac”
No full textThe paper presents some new finds on the Syriac tradition of Gregory of Nyssa's works. In the first part it compares the fragments transmitted in florilegia with the extant integral translations of Gregory's writings; in the second part, it offers the critical edition and the English translation of a newly discovered Syriac version of Gregory's De professione christiana, mainly from MS BL Add. 14726

No full textVariations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
'Anomalous' Biblical Quotations in the Pseudo-Origenian Homiles on the Gospel of Matthew (CPG 1510-17)
No full textThe essay investigates some aspects of the Pseudo-Origenian homilies (CPG, 1510-1517 and CPL, 668-675) that have been only partially transmitted by Paul the Deacon's Homilary, and collected by Jacques Merlin in the edition of Origen's works published in 1522 by Badius Ascensius. Germain Morin has so far been the only scholar to suggest that some of these homilies shared the same authorship, while considering others extraneous based on sometimes weak conjectural criteria. Nevertheless, a noteworthy characteristic unites all these homilies: the form of their biblical citations frequently deviates from Jerome's Vulgate text, often aligning with readings attested by surviving witnesses of the Veteres Latinae or in the writings of patristic authors active prior to Jerome's revision of the biblical text. In some instances, biblical citations even appear to correspond closely to the Greek biblical text, with a literal degree of translation that for the NT can exceed that of the Vulgate or, at least, be equivalent to it. The examples examined raise unresolved questions not only about the original background of these homilies, but perhaps also about their original language
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
