Sulla presenza di Cipriano nel “De aleatoribus”
No full textIn ps.cyprianic De aleatoribus the whole way of composing shows
a deep assimilation of Cyprian’s model by the anonymous author.
The similarities attract attention for their evidence: the main subjects in common, the reference to single words and expressions, the similar structure of several sentences, the same expressions for introducing biblical quotations, the quotation of the same biblical texts too. Everything induces to admit that the anonymous author depends directly on Cyprian

The coloration of this species clearly differs from <i>L. amboinensis</i> by the presence of 2 wide dorsal transverse bands on carapace (vs. 4 thin bands in <i>L. amboinensis</i>) and the absence of lighter edging on the lateral and ventral margins of the abdominal pleura.

AUTHORS POSITION AND PROBLEMS IN MARIN MINCU’S NOVEL ,,DRACULA’S DIARY”
No full textThe novel is a diary of Vlad Dracula containing childhood memories, correspondence with Pope Pius II, reflection,
aphoristic statements about the world and much more. According to the plot of the novel, the diary was written in
the medieval Wallachian language, but the text of the novel was created in the modern literary Italian (Tuscan)
language and only 14 years later was translated into modern Romanian. Of course, the authenticity of the diary is
a convention that the reader must take on faith, because the novel is not a historiographic study, one cannot insist
on the correspondence of the plot to historical information. The surprise here is that Marin Mincu himself insists on
absolute authenticity and credibility, for example, in an interview with Cristian Teodorescu, despite the fact that the
novel is undoubtedly a mystification. At the same time, the author generously quotes authentic medieval texts related
to Dracula. The whole point is that the author creates a new myth about Dracula, an alternative to the existing myth.
Umberto Eco has this aphorism: ,,The author should have died after finishing the book. In order not to get in
the way of the text”. But Marin Mincu is not going to die, the author’s behaviour is part of the presentation of a
mystification novel. Or part of the mystification is the book.
Keywords: mystification novel, author’s position, hero’s image, problematics, presentation, reception, Middle
Ages, Renaissance, Dracula’s diary.

Un indice climatico-marin pour quelques stations balnéaires françaises
No full textIn this article, the author tries to create an index that allows the reader to compare the climatic advantages and inconveniences of the littoral seaside resorts.
A sample of 17 French towns, situated on both mediterranean and atlantic coasts, is used to apply and test this index.
For each of them, it allows the user to estimate the period in which the touristic attractions and activities are possible.Dans cet article, l'auteur présente un indice d'attraction climatico-marin applicable aux stations balnéaires. Après sa critique, la formule est appliquée à 17 stations françaises réparties sur les deux façades maritimes. Le commentaire des résultats permet d'aborder le problème de l'estimation de l'étendue possible au cours de l'année de la saison touristique.Sarramea Jean.
