Selected letters of Alessandra Strozzi
No full textThe letters of Alessandra Strozzi provide a vivid and spirited portrayal of life in fifteenth-century Florence. Among the richest autobiographical materials to survive from the Italian Renaissance, the letters reveal a woman who fought stubbornly to preserve her family's property and position in adverse circumstances, and who was an acute observer of Medicean society. Her letters speak of political and social status, of the concept of honor, and of the harshness of life, including the plague and the loss of children. They are also a guide to Alessandra's inner life over a period of twenty-three years, revealing the pain and sorrow, and, more rarely, the joy and triumph, with which she responded to the events unfolding around her.This edition includes translations, in full or in part, of 35 of the 73 extant letters. The selections carry forward the story of Alessandra's life and illustrate the range of attitudes, concerns, and activities which were characteristic of their author
Challenging the author: Gavin Douglas's Eneados
No full textGavin Douglas’s Eneados, a translation into the “Scottis” tongue of Virgil’s Aeneid, completed in 1513 and first published in London in 1553, presents, as well as the translation of the additional thirteenth book by Maphaeus Vegius, original prologues and marginal notes to the text, rubrics and articulate conclusive material. The present paper analyses this complex paratext as evidence of Douglas’s almost philological attention to the original and his preoccupation with a faithful reproduction; it is also suggested that the models for his organization of the commentary might be both medieval (i.e., manuscripts such as Petrarch’s Virgilius Ambrosianus) and early modern, as in the case of editions of classical works: the most apt example being Jodocus Badius Ascensius’ edition of the Aeneid, printed in 1501. The Eneados thus stands on the threshold between manuscript and print, and might have indicated new possibilities of use of the printing medium in Scotland, and of the value of the translation of a classical text, had history not intervened with the Scottish defeat at Flodden Fields in 1513, which put a temporary stop both to the circulation of the Eneados and to the development of Scottish printing
THE QUANTITATIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RORSCHACH AND WAIS-IV: PATTERN DIFFERENCES IN IQ PROFILES
No full textBackground: Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV (WAIS-IV) and Rorschach Inkblot
Test are often included in diagnostic routines by most of the clinicians to measure the
“Performance” from two different points of view; while WAIS-IV is used to analyse
intelligence and cognitive abilities, Rorschach measures how a subject respond, both
emotively and cognitively, to unstructured stimuli.
Methods: The full study sample (N=34) was sorted into three groups based on the IQ
score obtained by the WAIS test. Groups were composed in the following way: IQ lower
than 69 (N=19); IQ ranging from 70 to 99 (N=6); IQ higher than 100(N=9).
Statistical analysis: To analyse differences between groups we used a univariate analysis
of variance (ANOVA). In addiction differences between groups were deeply analysed using
Bonferroni Post-hoc Test.
Results: The ANOVA analysis shows that moderate differences exist between the groups
for the parameters Zd, Zsum, S, M, Zf, R (p=0.05). On the other hand, strongly significant
differences were found on the following parameters WSC, Complexity, Human responses,
Animal detail, unusual form quality, W (p=0.01).
Discussion: The results show how the analyses carried out provide statistically significant
characteristics to detect a prototypical profile of a subject with a diagnosis of intellectual
disability. Considering also legal and social medicine aspects, the identification of these
patterns represents a substantial help for clinicians to recognize the "state of handicap" useful
to access to the benefits provided by Italian welfare state and especially by law 104/92

No full textThe RAP online repertorium offers the first comprehensive catalogue of polemical literature related to the schism between the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches from the 9th to the 16th century and can be described as an ideal continuation of the *Clavis Patrum*.
Each entry identifies the work (often unpublished or newly discovered in manuscript catalogs), lists its various titles (since medieval texts often lack stable titles), provides incipit and explicit (with possible variations), and examines the manuscript tradition and foliation (by reviewing catalogs or manuscripts, verifying dates, folios, etc.). It also includes relevant bibliography (critical editions and studies), identifies the author (using prosopographical studies, dictionaries, repertories, sigillography, etc.), and provides essential biographical details. Each work is classified by literary genre (e.g., treatise, dialogue), the corresponding Byzantine term, and the main polemical themes (e.g., Filioque, Azymes, Purgatory), and is assigned a unique RAP identification number.
