Sulla tradizione dei testi di Serafino Aquilano: con edizione dei Sonetti
No full textLo scopo di questo lavoro è riuscire a far chiarezza nella complicata tradizione delle rime
di Serafino Ciminelli dall'Aquila, detto l'Aquilano. Le sue poesie ebbero, nella prima
metà del XVI secolo, una sorprendente fortuna. Attualmente sono cinquantatré le
cinquecentine note pubblicate tra il 1502, anno della princeps, e il 1568.I maggiori centri
di diffusione furono Roma, Venezia, Bologna, Milano e Firenze. Molte sono anche le
poesie dell'Aquilano contenute in miscellanee manoscritte della fine del XV e degli inizi
del XVI secolo.
Egli appare il capofila della letteratura cortigiana, riconosciuto a pieno titolo maestro di
questo filone di poesia che tanto successo ebbe nella seconda metà del Quattrocento. La
fama di Serafino Aquilano era tale che a lui venivano attribuiti molti componimenti non
suoi. L'esuberanza attributiva è quindi il maggior ostacolo da affrontare avvicinandosi
alla tradizione delle opere del poeta.
Nella tesi di dottorato è stata svolta una recensio completa di stampe e manoscritti
contenenti sonetti e strambotti. Sono stati individuati sessanta manoscritti che
tramandano sue liriche e cinquantatré cinquecentine. Per ogni testimone è stata fornita
una descrizione e gli incipit delle rime (con rispettivo riferimento delle carte o pagine che
le tramandano) dell'Aquilano. I manoscritti più significativi sono conservati nella
Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana di Città del Vaticano, nella Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale
di Firenze, nella Biblioteca Riccardiana di Firenze, nella Bibliotèque Nationale di Parigi,
nella Biblioteca Estense di Modena, ma anche nella Biblioteca Palatina di Parma, nella
Comunale di Mantova e nella Oliveriana di Pesaro. Tutti i codici sono stati visti
direttamente nelle biblioteche e solo in rari casi si è ricorsi al supporto di riproduzioni su
microfilm.
Il capitolo centrale della tesi di dottorato è dedicato agli studi della tradizione. Le
ricerche finora svolte consentono di affermare che nessun testimone autografo, oppure
riconducibile ad un autografo delle rime di Serafino Aquilano è giunto fino a noi e così
pure nessuna raccolta manoscritta che si riveli compilata per le cure o almeno sotto la
diretta sorveglianza dell'autore. Le rime ci sono giunte per la maggior parte in
miscellanee degli ultimi anni del XV secolo e della prima metà del XVI secolo e nessuna
di queste sillogi comprende l'intera serie di componimenti del Ciminelli, cioè nessuna
raccolta accoglie tutti i componimenti attestati dagli altri testimoni. I testi di Serafino si
trovano quindi mescolati a quelli di altri autori, raramente essi sono accompagnati da
un'attribuzione e anche quando questa esiste non sempre è affidabile.
Una posizione di primo piano, nella tradizione delle rime di Serafino, spetta alle
cinquecentine pubblicate nella prima metà del XVI secolo. Affidabile sul versante
attributivo appare la princeps pubblicata a Roma nel 1502, non si può dire lo stesso delle
stampe successive che incrementano il corpus certo della princeps con componimenti
erroneamente attribuiti all'Aquilano.
Concluso lo studio di manoscritti e stampe si è riusciti ad individuare 112 sonetti certi del
Ciminelli e 250 strambotti.
L'ultima sezione della tesi contiene l'edizione critica dei 112 sonetti. Ogni
componimento è accompagnato da un apparato critico di tipo negativo che registra tutte
le lezioni adiafore, le lectiones singulares e le varianti fono-morfologiche dei manoscritti
e delle stampe dei secoli XV e XVI.
The purpose of this work is to clarify the complicated tradition of the poetical work of
Serafino Ciminelli of L'Aquila, known as Serafino Aquilano. In the first half of the 16th century
his verse was surprisingly successful. At present we have fifty-three known 16th century volumes
published between 1502, the year of the first edition, and 1568. The main cities where his verse
was widely read were Rome, Venice, Bologna, Milan and Florence. There are also many poems by
Serafino Aquilano in miscellaneous manuscripts from the end of the 15th and early 16th centuries.
He is the leader of the court poetry school, rightly acknowledged as a master of this genre,
so much appreciated in the second half of the 15th century. His fame was such that he was credited
with the authorship of many works which were not in fact his: this exaggeration in attributing
poems to Serafino Aquilano is therefore the greatest obstacle to overcome when one wishes to
approach the tradition of the works of this poet.
Work on this thesis involved a full recensio of the printed volumes and manuscripts
containing his sonnets and octaves. Sixty manuscripts and fifty-three 16th century books were
found containing his works. A description and the incipit of each poem (with reference to the
sheets or pages on which they appear) have been provided. The most important manuscripts are
kept in the Vatican Apostolic Library, the Florence National Central Library, the Florence
Riccardiana Library, the Paris National Library and the Modena Estense Library, but also in the
Parma Palatine Library, the Mantua City Library and the Pesaro Oliveriana Library. All the
documents were seen directly in the libraries concerned, and consultation of microfilms was
resorted to only in very few cases.
The main chapter of the thesis deals with study of tradition. The research which has been
carried out up to now allows it to be stated that no autograph evidence, nor any evidence indicating
the existence of autograph versions of Serafino Aquilano's verse, has come down to our own time,
nor is there any manuscript collection which appears to have been compiled either by the author or
even under his direct supervision. The works are mostly contained in miscellanies from the end of
the 15th and the first half of the 16th centuries, and none of these anthologies includes all his poems:
in other words, there is no collection which gathers together all the poems attributed to Serafino
Aquilano by all sources. His texts, therefore, are mingled with works by other writers, are rarely
accompanied by an attribution, and even when there is one it is not always reliable.
The 16th century volumes published in the first half of the century play a primary role in the
tradition of Serafino Aquilano's verse. The first edition which came out in Rome in 1502 appears
to be reliably attributed to him, but the same cannot be said of the subsequent reprints, which add to
the corpus of the first edition but include works wrongly ascribed to Serafino Aquilano.
After concluding the study of the manuscripts and printed volumes, 112 sonnets and 250
octaves were attributed with certainty to the poet.
The last part of the thesis contains a critical appreciation of the 112 sonnets. Each work is
accompanied by a negative type criticism which records all the adiaphorous lessons, the lectiones
singolares and the phono-morphological variations in the 15th and 16th century manuscripts and
printed volumes
Type A botulinum toxin treatment for chronic anal fissure
No full textWe read with great interest the systematic review on efficacy
and safety of botulinum toxin treatment in patients with anal
fissure by E. Yiannakopoulou. The manuscript is well written,
complete and exhaustive. The review of the literature
data is careful and rigorous. This systematic review aimed to
answer several primary questions. The intention to give an
answer to all these questions makes the paper even more
interesting. We agree with the author that botulinum toxin
consists of an alternative effective therapeutic modality for
the treatment of anal fissure
Stalking of psychiatrists: Psychopathological characteristics and gender differences in an Italian sample
No full textResearch has indicated that medical doctors and paramedics are at higher risk of being stalked than the general population. In particular, mental health care professionals alone represent one third of the victims of harassment. Because of the lack of studies in this specific sector, especially in Italy, in this study, we examined the stalking of psychiatrists by their patients, considering gender differences and the incidence of stalking in private practice and public mental health clinics in Rome. We found that the rate of stalking in private mental health settings is higher than that in public settings and that the perpetrators of stalking are mainly women who mostly target mental health professionals working in private practice. Implications of the findings are noted and discussed. © The Author(s) 2012
The cause of the pestilence in florence according to Serafino Razzi : notes on the manuscript "Life and death of Girolamo Savonarola"
No full textThe death sentence of Girolamo Savonarola, accused of heresy and schismatic intentions, was carried out in 1498, in Florence. In the following years, Italy was hit by a plague epidemic and invaded by foreign armies. His followers, called "Piagnoni," related the two events, explaining the scourges as divine punishments for the prosecution of an alleged saint. This explanation is also found in the manuscript Vita e morte di Fra Girolamo Savonarola by Serafino Razzi, one of the leading figures of the Savonarolian movement. In this article, the reader will find a note concerning the vicissitudes of the manuscript, a note concerning its author, the transcription of some significant passages of the work, including the fragment that relates the killing of Savonarola to the plague which affected Florence and other Italian cities, and finally some reflections on the historical transformations of Catholicism
Quaderni di Serafino Gubbio operatore: the mechanized world and the cinema in Pirandello
No full textLuigi Pirandello é presença marcante e definitiva na literatura do século XX, como um dos principais representantes do Decadentismo italiano, não somente como dramaturgo, campo em que se destacou mundialmente, mas também com sua significativa e inovadora obra narrativa. O presente trabalho propõe-se a analisar a poética do autor, que destrói a forma de narrar oitocentesca, e tem como temas a fragmentação do sujeito, a alienação e a relatividade da vida moderna, numa crise de tudo o que é absoluto. Para isso analisamos um dos principais romances pirandellianos, Quaderni di Serafino Gubbio operatore, obra que traz suas reflexões sobre a crise do mundo moderno gerada pelo progresso tecnológico trazido pela civilização industrial, que teve como conseqüência a mecanização e a aceleração do ritmo de vida nas grandes metrópoles. O trabalho tem como partes integrantes o que entendemos ser os temas fundamentais da obra: a crise de valores no mundo moderno mecanizado e a invasão da tecnologia no campo das artes, representada pelo cinema. Tomando como base os textos dos principais críticos da obra de Pirandello e daqueles que trataram das mudanças da obra de arte na sociedade industrial, apresentamos considerações que demonstram a preocupação pirandelliana não só com o humano, mas também com o futuro da arte e do teatro numa sociedade alienada pelas máquinas, o que faz do autor um dos maiores pensadores do século XX.Luigi Pirandello is a remarkable and definite presence in the literature of the twenty century, as one of the mainly representative authors of the italian Decadentismo, not only as a dramaturge field in which he is wordly famous but also with his innovative and significant opus. The present work proposes to analyze the authors poetic, that destroy the 19th century prevalent way of work, and it has as theme the fragmentation of the subject, the alienation and the relativity of the modern world, a crisis of everything that is absolute. To prove this point we have analyzed one of the mainly pirandellianos romances, Quaderni di Serafino Gubbio operatore, opus that brings his serious and careful thoughts about crisis in the modern world generated by technological progress brought by industrial civilization that has had as consequence the mechanization and acceleration of the life rhythm in big metropolis. The work contains within something which we understand to be the fundamental themes of his opus: value crisis in the mechanized and modern world and the invasion of technology in the field of arts, represented by the cinema. Taking as basis the texts of Pirandellos mainly critics and the texts of those who treated the changes that had been occurred in the work of arts inside the industrial society, we present considerations that can demonstrate pirandellianas preoccupation, not only with the human being, but also with the future of art and theatre in a society that had been alienated by machines what transforms the author in one of the greatest philosopher of the twenty century

Marulić in a Preacher's Compendium by Serafino Razzi: A Contribution to the Reception of De institutione
No full textThe Dominican Serafino Razzi is far better known in Croatia as the author of the first printed history of Dubrovnik than as a compiler of lives of saints and Dominican brothers and author of moral and religious works such as the Giardino d'essempi overo fiori delle vite de 'santi, printed in Brescia, in 1607.
The mentioned work appeared as a result of Razzi’s pastoral activity. Namely, ever since Aristotle, the exemplum was considered an instrument of rhetoric argumentation. The reason lies in its suggestiveness, for using exemplum an able rhetor could teach and motivate without using theory or making deductions. Christian preachers were fully aware of the value of suggestive examples. Razzi, himself a preacher in the Florentine church of St Mark, used exemples in his sermons and collected a vast number of them over the years. Spurred by some friends, he eventually dicided to have them printed and made available for college preachers, who with the Giardino d'essempi got new handy examples to employ in their sermons on virtues and vices. The aim of course, was to increase the psychological and moral effect of sermons, as well as the number of works of practical piety.
Drawing on known and unknown sources, Razzi compiled a true florilegium (» The appeal of saintly examples and that of sundry flowers are equally irresistible«). This mosaical work lacks organic structure and rests entirely upon a number of moral and ascetic themes arranged in alphabetical order (adulterio, astinenza, avaritia, bestemia ... ), incorporating unequal numbers of examples. They total 768, falling under 85 titles. Their sources are quoted either at the beginning or at the end of the texts.
What makes this work interesting to us is the fact that 69 examples come from Marulić's De institutione, which puts him shoulder to shoulder with St Jerome, Pope Gregory, Bonaventura, Cassian, Luis de Granada, Bernard or Voragine. Also, stressing in the preface Marulić' s De institutione as well as its Italian translation and taking from it an impressive number of examples (1/11) and almost the whole of the chapter IV, 7-8, Razzi proves that Marulić's authority was particularly great in the time after the Council of Trent
Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography measurements of central foveal thickness before and after cataract surgery in children
No full textPurpose To compare macular thickness before and after cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in pediatric eyes. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting University Eye Clinic, San Giuseppe Hospital, University of Milan, Milan, Italy. Methods The study analyzed spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images of the macula in pediatric eyes in which cataract surgery had been performed and that were examined preoperatively and 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively. Results The mean age of the 11 patients (11 eyes) was 5.8 years ± 2.2 (SD) (range 3 to 14 years). The mean macular thickness at 1 month and 3 months was significantly higher than at baseline (273.7 ± 26.8 μm and 266.0 ± 22.8 μm, respectively, versus 244.8 ± 19.5 μm; P .05 versus baseline). Conclusions Spectral-domain OCT was useful in evaluating the macular changes in the eyes of a cohort of pediatric patients 3 years and older. Cystoid macular edema was not observed during the 12-month follow-up. Financial Disclosure No author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned
