Un esopico Lando : un percorso pedagogico-sapienziale tra Ortolani, esperimenti narrativi, editoria
No full textSi analizza una sezione di circa quaranta favole in prosa contenute nel volume miscellaneo Varii componimenti pubblicato nel 1552 da Ortensio Lando presso Manuzio. Le favole del poligrafo milanese sono per la maggior parte traduzioni degli apologhi di Celio Calcagnini, e in misura minore di Leon Battista Alberti; analizzate nelle scelte traduttorie e considerate nella prospettiva di alcuni ambienti attraversati dal Lando – come gli Ortolani piacentini e la famiglia Landi –, del ruolo della figura di Esopo nel vasto macrotesto landiano, e più in generale delle posizioni intellettuali del loro autore, le favole paiono però essere ben più che un mero plagio.This article analyzes a section of about forty fables in prose contained in the miscellaneous volume Varii componimenti published in 1552 by Ortensio Lando at Manuzio’s printing house. The tales of this Milan polygraph are for the most part translations of the apologues written by Celio Calcagnini, and to a lesser extent by Leon Battista Alberti. Nevertheless, analyzed as to the translation strategies, to some cultural circles frequented by Lando – like the Piacenza Ortolani and the Landi family –, to the role of Aesop in Lando’s extended macrotext, and more generally to the intellectual positions of their author, the fables seem to be much more than a mere plagiarism
Ortensio Lando, ein "irregolare" und "capriccioso" zwischen Katholizismus und Reformation: Zu Landos frühen Werken
No full textAusgehend von den Beobachtungen, die Christopher S. Celenza in seinem Buch „The Lost Italian Renaissance. Humanists, Historians and Latin\u27s Legacy" (Baltimore 2004) darlegte, werden Biographie und lateinisches Frühwerk des im deutschen Sprachraum nahezu unbekannten Schriftstellers Ortensio Lando (um 1512 bis um 1555) vorgestellt. Landos Leben und Wirken können als exemplarisch für mehrere Strömungen seiner Zeit angesehen werden: In seinem lateinischen Frühwerk - Cicero relegatus et Cicero revocatus (1534), Forcianae Quaestiones (1535) und Desiderii Erasmi Roterodami funus (1540) - gehen zeitgenössische literarische Tendenzen mit der antiken Tradition und aktuellen Glaubensfragen eine originelle Verbindung ein. Der Autor, von etwa 1530 an Glaubensflüchtling, war unter den italienischen Literaten seiner Zeit derjenige, „der auf dem Weg zum Protestantismus am weitesten fortschritt", wie Manfred E. Welti es ausdrückte.This article describes the biography and early Latin works of Ortensio Lando (ca. 1512 – ca. 1556/59). Lando, a religious refugee from about 1530 onwards, has remained virtually unknown in Germanic lands, yet his life and works are remarkable. His early Latin works, »Cicero relegatus et Cicero revocatus« (1534), »Forcianae Quaestiones « (1535) and »Desiderii Erasmi Roterodami funus« (1540), are unique in the manner in which they seamlessly blend contemporary literary styles with classical tradition and topical religious questions. Lando was the Italian author of his time »who had most progressed on the way to Protestantism«, as Manfred E. Welti pointed out

A geometric model for the analysis of citation distributions
No full textIn this paper, we present an empirical study for modeling the citation distribution of papers of individual authors. We analyzed the citation records of applicants to the so called “Abilitazione Scientifica Nazionale” (ASN), a new procedure, based on scientific qualification criteria, for the recruitment of academic staff in Italy. We analyzed citation records of 131 physicists who were applicants in the ASN for a full professorship in the specific area of Condensed Matter Physics, using different mathematical models, namely: zeta, geometric, logarithmic and Pareto (of the first kind). Each model was “estimated”, on the basis of the observed citation pattern, via minimum Kullback-Leibler distance method. The geometric distribution was also considered by using a trimmed version of the estimator. As a measure of the effectiveness of the model, we computed the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance. The most remarkable result is that the geometric distribution can provide an adequate tool for the modelization of the citation distribution of an author. Model fit may be further improved by adopting the trimming method
A new bibliometric index based on the shape of the citation distribution.
No full textIn order to improve the h-index in terms of its accuracy and sensitivity to the form of the citation distribution, we propose the new bibliometric index [symbol in text]. The basic idea is to define, for any author with a given number of citations, an "ideal" citation distribution which represents a benchmark in terms of number of papers and number of citations per publication, and to obtain an index which increases its value when the real citation distribution approaches its ideal form. The method is very general because the ideal distribution can be defined differently according to the main objective of the index. In this paper we propose to define it by a "squared-form" distribution: this is consistent with many popular bibliometric indices, which reach their maximum value when the distribution is basically a "square". This approach generally rewards the more regular and reliable researchers, and it seems to be especially suitable for dealing with common situations such as applications for academic positions. To show the advantages of the [symbol in text]-index some mathematical properties are proved and an application to real data is proposed
I "Quattro libri de dubbi" di Ortensio Lando (1. Ortensio Lando, "Quattro libri de dubbi". L'editio princeps rigenerata; 2. I "Dubbi" tra cultura antica e Rinascimento)
No full textLa tesi di dottorato ha come oggetto di studio i “Quattro libri de dubbi” di Ortensio Lando, operetta enciclopedica pubblicata a Venezia nel 1552, presso la tipografia di Gabriel Giolito. L’elaborato è distinto in due volumi, il primo dei quali è dedicato all’edizione rigenerata dell’editio princeps dei “Dubbi” (1552), corredata da un profilo biografico dell’autore, da una nota al testo e da tre appendici nelle quali si trascrivono le “Miscellaneae quaestiones” (opera di problemi in latino stampata da Lando nel 1550); il commento di monsignor Annibale Novelli all’edizione espurgata dei “Dubbi” pubblicata da Giovanni Bazachi nel 1597; le lettere che Giolito allega alle due edizioni dei “Dubbi” (1552 e 1556) e alle “Miscellaneae quaestiones”. Il secondo volume è invece pensato per affiancare la lettura dell’edizione dei “Quattro libri de dubbi”, accompagnando lettrici e lettori in un viaggio che mira a individuare le connessioni esistenti tra i quesiti landiani e la cultura letteraria, filosofica, etica e scientifica antica e moderna. L’obiettivo dei capitoli di questo volume, infatti, è scandagliare tematiche e suggestioni presenti nei diversi libri, tentando di rintracciare le fonti principali utilizzate da Lando per dare sostanza ai suoi problemi, nell’ottica di una storia delle idee. Quel che si desidera presentare è un commento di ampio respiro, volto a tracciare le coordinate generali per comprendere le culture e i saperi da cui i “Dubbi” derivano e con cui dialogano, indagando le convinzioni e le idee che hanno fornito a Ortensio Lando la linfa vitale per far crescere e proliferare le sue interrogazioniThis doctoral dissertation examines the “Quattro libri de dubbi”, an encyclopedic work by Ortensio Lando, published in Venice in 1552 by Gabriel Giolito’s printing house. The research is presented in two volumes. The first volume offers a critical edition of the editio princeps (1552), accompanied by a biographical profile of the author, a textual note, and three appendices: the transcription of the “Miscellaneae quaestiones” (a collection of philosophical problems in latin published by Lando in 1550); the commentary by monsignor Annibale Novelli on the expurgated version of the “Dubbi” issued by Giovanni Bazachi in 1597; and the paratextual letters included by Giolito in the 1552 and 1556 editions of the “Dubbi”, as well as in the “Miscellaneae quaestiones”. The second volume functions as a companion to the edition of the “Quattro libri de dubbi”, guiding readers through an interpretive journey aimed at uncovering the intertextual and cultural networks underlying Lando’s inquiries. Special attention is given to the connections between Lando’s questions and the broader literary, philosophical, ethical, and scientific traditions of both classical antiquity and early modernity. Each chapter investigates the thematic structures and intellectual stimuli that shape the four books, tracing the principal sources and conceptual frameworks that Lando drew upon in formulating his doubts. In this way, the study seeks to contribute to a history of ideas, offering a comprehensive commentary that maps the epistemological landscape from which the “Dubbi” emerge and with which they engage. Ultimately, the objective is to shed light on the intellectual convictions and cultural matrices that fueled Lando’s speculative projec
Ortensio Lando and the French Version of His Paradoxes
No full textOrtensio Lando was an Italian promoter of the thought of Erasmus of Rotterdam and he translated Thomas Moore's Utopia into Italian. Also, he was author of a provocative set of paradoxes (Paradossi, Lyon 1532) that were before long translated into French (Paradoxes, translated by Charles Estienne, Paris 1553), and then into English (The Defence of Contraries, translated by Anthony Munday, London 1593). A contrastive analysis of one of the paradoxes („Better to be a fool than a scholar”) in its original and its French translation displays interesting aspects of text reception. The French translator of the text engages into an intellectual play based on the use of rhetorical devices. The translation is purposefully devoid of any veiled and alluded content of ideological nature, whose presence is deducible in the Italian text
La participación de Ortensio Lando en la Querella de las mujeres
No full textThis study, focused on the figure of the prestigious humanist Ortensio Lando, presents the main writings that made him one of the main male protagonists of the Querelle des Femmes of the Italian Renaissance. Among other aspects, it will analyze the reasons for his defense in favor of female merits, his most outstanding works in this regard, the questions about their authorship and the game of simulation that he carried out in some of them - which he even signed with the names of illustrious ladies of his time, such as Isabel Sforza and Lucrezia Gonzaga, giving them a voice in the literary debate on the issue of women -, as well as the repercussion that both the works and their author had on the Querelle.Este estudio, centrado en la figura del prestigioso humanista Ortensio Lando, presenta los principales escritos que hicieron de este uno de los principales protagonistas masculinos de la Querella de las mujeres del Renacimiento italiano. Entre otros aspectos, se analizarán los motivos de su defensa a favor del mérito femenino, sus obras más destacadas al respecto, las cuestiones sobre su autoría y el juego de simulación que llevó a cabo en algunos de ellos – que llegó a firmar, incluso, con nombres de ilustres damas de su época, como Isabel Sforza y Lucrecia Gonzaga; dándoles voz en el debate literario sobre la cuestión de las mujeres –, así como la repercusión que tanto las obras como su autor tuvieron en la Querella
Culture for Learning: A Theoretical Model of Learning Through Effective Athletics Coaches
No full textA theoretical model of learning as seen by effective athletics coaches is nuanced with methods of performance improvement strategies but also inherently influenced by overarching cultural aspects to create an environment conducive to maximize learning. This grounded theory qualitative research study generates the Culture for Learning theoretical model of learning. The model can have potentially profound impacts on learning and performance by providing the necessary aspects of a culture set to maximize learning based on expectations, accountability, and relationships allowing for performance and improvement strategies to exist and flourish. The literature review covers theories of learning, practice methodology, improvement strategies, and essential components for a defined culture. Topics include behaviorism, the humanistic theory of learning, cognitive learning theory, fundamental skill acquisition through repetition, analysis with feedback through the use of performance analysis, environment, goal setting, motivation, and relationships.
Theoretical sampling was used to select coaches to generate a theory of effective learning in athletics. The participating athletic coaches were defined as effective as they have a high percentage of wins or have shown trending improvements from year to year based on their teams’ win/loss record. They are from different states, and sports domains as well as having different levels of experiences and have won numerous district/region championships, state champions, conference championships, and national championships. The collection and analysis of interview, observation, and document/artifact data were analyzed through open, axial, and selective coding using constant comparison, member checking, and analytic memoing to ensure the accuracy of the findings.
Future implications include leaning on the Culture for Learning theoretical model to impact classrooms, schools, and districts with learning strategies, cultural aspects used to motivate and empower students and teachers, and policy implications for assessment and standards’ adoption. District and school leaders could also lean on athletic coaches to provide insight into developing relationships, increasing the opportunity to maximize learning in classrooms within schools. The Culture for Learning can be used to improve learning in classrooms when the culture is conducive to doing so, as the athletics coaches’ theoretical model displays.Ed.D
