“An mola sine viri congressu concipi possit?” The Uterine Mole in Medical and Philosophical Texts between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period
Full text linkThe uterine mole was the subject of various interpretations regarding its aetiology. In the Middle Ages it was considered produced by women through nocturnal emission of their ‘seed’. The idea of the mola as a product of a blend of male and female seed became dominant in 16th century thanks to the re-discovered of a Galenic text. This contribution aims to highlight the different ways of interpreting the mola in the period between the Middle Ages and the 16th century, showing how the different interpretations were significant for judging women in ethical terms.La mola uterina fue objeto de diversas interpretaciones con respecto a su etiología. En la Edad Media se pensaba que las mujeres la producían por medio de una emisión nocturna de su “semilla”. La idea de mola como producto de la mezcla de las semillas masculina y femenina se convirtió en dominante en el s. XVI, gracias al redescubrimiento de un texto galénico. Esta contribución pretende destacar las formas diferentes de interpretación de la mola en el período entre la Edad Media y el s. XVI, mostrando la relevancia que tuvieron las diferentes interpretaciones para juzgar a las mujeres en términos éticos.La môle utérine fit l’objet de plusieurs interprétations, en ce qui concerne son étiologie. Au Moyen Âge, on estimait qu’elle était produite par les femmes grâce à l’émission nocturne de leur ‘graine’. L’idée de mola, en tant que produit du mélange des graines masculine et féminine domina tout le XVIème siècle, grâce à la redécouverte d’un texte de Galien.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
I tre corpi del santo. Le leggende di traslazione di sant'Antonio Abate in Occidente
No full textL'A. vaglia diversi tipi di fonti, sia agiografiche sia amministrative sia storiche, in latino e in volgare, in modo tale da illustrare la vicenda della traslazione delle reliquie di s. Antonio abate in Occidente. Di particolare interesse è la duplice tradizione letteraria che sta alla base delle translationes. Seguendo il filo degli eventi che si sovrappongono e che la letteratura non può che registrare in forma leggendaria, si risale fino al «mistero» che vede nel XVIII sec. i dotti Martène e Durand confrontarsi con ben tre corpi, conservati in tre diversi luoghi in Francia e ai quali vengono attribuite le medesime capacità taumaturgiche
Healing with the Body of Christ: Religion, Medicine and Magic
No full textIn the medieval western collections of medical recipes, references to theoretically non-consecrated hosts used for the healing of various diseases are very frequent. If on the one hand their use was codified as a normal medical prescription, on the other hand their use was also ritualized by the inscriptions of specific words on them which referred to the Trinity and by how they were taken, which entailed enunciating prayers. Moreover many objects and charms referring to Christ's passion were included as a shared therapeutic way, to demonstrate the blurred boundary among religion, medicine and everything that was often considered superstitious or “magic”. By the analysis of medical and hagiographic sources, the aim of the article is to provide an overview of the objects and rituals used for healing that symbolically refer to the Eucharist – seeing the Eucharist not only
as the moment of incarnation, but also as a reference to the death and resurrection of Christ. In particular we will also focus on the therapeutic role of the Agnus Dei, the wax disc imprinted with the Lamb of God that was made on Holy Saturday in Rome as a memento of the papal coronation
