No full textIntroduction to the volume "The Lectura Thomasina in Its Context. Philosophical and Theological Issues", which collects articles based on the workshop “Freedom of Teaching and Educational Policy. Censures, Condemnations, Corrections in the Late Medieval Schools,” held in Cologne in February 2017
From the Condemnations to the Schools. The Correctorium Literature in the Lectura Thomasina
No full textCensures, condemnations, and corrections animated the debate around Thomas Aquinas’ works between the end of the 13th and the first de- cades of the 14th century. The Lectura Thomasina of William of Peter of Godin (†1336) seems to typify this passage of Thomas Aquinas’ thought from the condemnations, characterizing the last decades of the 13th century, to teaching activities of the 14th-century schools. Godin does not aim at writing a mere collection of Thomas’ dicta, but rather an original teaching handbook. These peculiarities make the Lectura Thomasina a fundamental piece to the mosaic of the reworking of Aquinas in late medieval teaching activity before his canonization
Appendix B: Lectura Thomasina, Lib. II, dist. 12, q. 1
No full textIn Lectura Thomasina's Book II, dist. 12, q. 1, William of Peter of Godin focuses on the nature of celestial bodies. This text constitutes an irrefutable example of the interrelation between Godin's position and the Anonymous Brugensis, examined by Maxime Mauriège in his article
Il senso medico di 'pestilentia' in Agostino
Full text linkIn questo contributo si sviluppa un'analisi del termine 'pestilentia' nelle opere di Agostino. In primo luogo, vengono elencati tutti i luoghi testuali in cui il termine ricorre, specificandone il tipo di significato. Si distingue tra un senso proprio, di tipo medico, e un senso metaforico, di tipo morale. In secondo luogo, vengono esaminati in dettaglio i passi in cui la parola 'pestilentia' è usata in senso chiaramente medico
Preface
No full textThe volume provides a first comprehensive study on the so-called Lectura Thomasina, a commentary on the Sentences written by William of Peter of Godin at the beginning of the 14th century. The conspicuous number of verbatim quotations from Thomas Aquinas’ writings makes the text a very interesting case study: Godin does not aim at writing a mere collection of Aquinas’ dicta, but rather a sort of “Thomistic” teaching handbook. This peculiarity makes the Lectura Thomasina a fundamental piece to the mosaic of the reworking of Aquinas in late medieval teaching activity before his canonization. The first section of the volume is devoted to a textual analysis of the Lectura and its sources. The second section examines certain themes in Godin’s theology and philosophy. The last section is devoted to Godin’s influence on the Dominican traditio
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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
