    All'ombra dei grandi libri. La silva Andes di Pietro Marso

    Andes Virgilii natale solum, a silua by the Italian humanist Petrus Marsus, was published in Mantua in 1480. The present paper investigates the role of that text as a turning point from Statius’ concept of the silua to the siluae by Politian; it also shows that the siluae were intended by Politian as an introduction to classical texts, exactly in the way of the first printed editions of classical texts, where these texts were accompanied by other poetic compositions, conceived as an introduction to the classical author

    2014-2015This thesis provides the edition of the first book of the Goro d’Arezzo commentary to Lucan’s Pharsalia. The text is based on the Ambrosian manuscript signed H 174 inf and has a critical apparatus for sources, variants and loci critici. The edition is introduced by a preliminary chapter, dedicated to contextualize the author and his commentary, and by a philological chapter, that treats the textual tradition and the relationships between the manuscripts. The text is prefaced also by a section that shows the commentary and his accessus structure and analyses each single part. A personal edition of Goro’s Regule ortographie per alphabetum compilate, useful also to establish the graphical criteria, follows the commentary edition. [edited by Author]La tesi fornisce l’edizione del primo libro del commento di Goro d’Arezzo alla Pharsalia di Lucano, condotta sulla base del testo tràdito dal manoscritto Ambrosiano H 174 inf e corredata di apposite fasce d’apparato, riservate alle fonti e all’illustrazione di varianti e luoghi critici della tradizione. L’edizione del testo è preceduta da un capitolo introduttivo, dedicato a contestualizzare l’autore e l’opera, e da un capitolo più propriamente filologico, in cui si tratta dello stato della tradizione e dei rapporti che intercorrono tra i testimoni. Il testo è corredato poi da una sezione che illustra la fisionomia del commento e del suo accessus, ne evidenzia la struttura e ne commenta le parti costitutive. Segue l’edizione del commento una proposta personale di edizione delle Regule ortographie per alphabetum compilate dello stesso Goro, utili anche per la definizione dei criteri grafici adottati.

    Per un lessico dei commenti tardoantichi a Virgilio : il caso dello Pseudo Probo

    Get PDF
    During the last few years our knowledge of the Late Antique commentaries on Virgil has advanced. As a consequence, now we can better interpret them, either as regards their original setting or their function of support for the reading of Virgil. However, a systematic study of their lexicon is still lacking. Only a few essays deal with specific formulas and particular authors; but there are no recent, large-scale studies attempting to reconstruct the repertoire of words and ideas by which the commentaries describe the author, his function, his work, his public... Beginning with the commentary of Ps.Probus, the aim of this paper is to launch such a researc

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    Get PDF
    We 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

    Un esempio di deformatio nelle Interpretationes vergilianae di Tiberio Claudio Donato: la lotta di Priamo contro Pirro

    Get PDF
    [ES] Nella scena della morte di Priamo, nel secondo libro dell' Eneide, Tiberio Claudio Donato individua una precisa strategia retorica da parte del vecchio re troiano, che provoca le reazioni di Pirro per far si che il giovane combatía contro di lui e lo uccida. Arma fondamentale di questa strategia é la deformatio di Pirro, messo a confronto con il padre Achule. Arma dai molti tagli, pero, che alia fine consente al lettore di giudicare negativamente Achule, prima ancora di Pirro.[EN] According to Tiberius Claudius Donatus, in the struggle between Pyrrhus and Priamus in the second book of Vergil's Aeneid the Trojan king causes of his own will the reactions of Achules' son, in order to be killed by him. His main weapon is the deformatio of Pyrrhus, a rhetorical device blaming not only Pyrrhus, but Achules too

    L’educazione alla cittadinanza nei commenti tardoantichi a Virgilio. Qualche considerazione

    L’articolo esamina le considerazioni dei commentatori tardoantichi di Virgilio (in particolare, Servio e Tiberio Claudio Donato) in relazione a quattro parole chiave del mos maiorum romano, ovvero adulatio, concordia, pudor e uerecundia, e il loro uso di quelle stesse parol

    Il commento dello Ps. Probo al IV libro delle "Georgiche" di Virgilio

    pp. 145-176Dall’analisi del commento dello pseudo Probo al IV libro delle Georgiche, il relatore ha messo in evidenzia la natura composita, il valore eterogeneo, l’impropria disposizione di alcune note. Alla ricerca di una possibile definizione del testo, lo studioso ha proposto di considerarlo una sorta di ‘canovaccio’ riunente materiale disparato, forse in attesa di una immissione di un commento più ampio e organico (o di una lettura complementare a tale commento, probabilmente imparentata con la tradizione serviana).Considering how to define the Probus's commentary of IV book of Georgics, a text very heterogeneous in its making, the scholar suggests to consider it as a kind of ‘cadre’ composed with disparate elements, perhaps waiting for to bring in it a larger and more systematic commentary
