    ArCOA – Archivi e Collezioni dell’Oriente Antico is a project launched by the University of Milan and by the Institute of Heritage Science of the CNR, having the University of Turin as a research partner. It aims at studying, communicating and promoting the collections of ancient Near Eastern artefacts hosted in the Italian institutions. In the paper an overview of the activities carried on by the ArCOA team is presented, illustrating the digital archive and the others dedicated digital tools, the survey of the collections, and the future developments. The ArCOA potential for supporting the study and enhancing the knowledge of the Near Eastern collections in Italy is illustrated through case study of archival records pertaining the acquisition history of objects in the Museo di Antichità di Torino

    Il saggio riguarda due aspetti finora meno puntualmente considerati dell’opera Pietro della Valle (1586–1652), unanimemente reputato il più grande orientalista – ancorché viaggiatore e umanista di larghissime curiosità piuttosto che accademico professionale – cui Roma abbia dato i natali. La rilevanza di Pietro della Valle per la filologia semitica è l'aspetto trattato da R.Contini; lo studio di S. Graziani riguarda invece l'esperienza di Pietro della Valle nella Napoli capitale del Viceregno spagnolo, le amicizie, le frequentazioni con l'intelligentia del tempo nonché il retaggio culturale ed emotivo che dal soggiorno napoletano derivarono e che Pietro riversò nelle sue lettere dall'Oriente

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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
