Mirrors for Princes: Paratexts and Politlcal Stance in Henry's Carey's Translations of Romulo and Il Tarquinio Superbo by Virgilio Malvezzi
No full textIn this chapter, Giovanni Iamartino and Alessandra Manzi study the translations of Virgilio Malvezzi’s Romulo and Il Tarquino Superbo by Henry Carey, Early of Monmouth. Through minute examination of the new paratextual framing of the translations, printed in one volume in 1637, the authors demonstrate how both Italian political treatises were refashioned to advance the specifically English royalist cause. The liminal material not only sheds light on Carey’s cultural and ideological positioning, but also on the role played by printers in the fashioning of the ‘two cultures’ pitting royalists against republicans in late Caroline England.
This chapter was jointly conceived, prepared, and written by the two co-authors, with Alessandra Manzi responsible for the ‘Introduction’ and ‘Malvezzi, Carey, and Moralised Roman History’, and Giovanni Iamartino for ‘The Paratexts of Romulusand Tarquin’ and the ‘Conclusion’

‘When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’ Studies in Honour of Stefania Nuccorini
No full texthis volume collects a series of fourteen essays by Italian and foreign scholars - colleagues, former students, friends - who have thus intended to honour Stefania Nuccorini’s personal and professional profile. Honorary Professor at the University of Roma Tre, and authoritative scholar of English language and linguistics. The essays explore areas of research in which Stefania Nuccorini's scholarly industriousness, defined 'Master of Words' by her colleagues and friends at Roma Tre, stood out. First, the past, present and future of lexicography, with essays on Anglo-Saxon glossaries (Faraci), usage notes in the history of English lexicography (Bejoint), learners' dictionaries (Klotz) and e-lexicography (Pettini). Then, studies of a lexicological nature, with particular reference to collocations (Pinnavaia), anglicisms in Italian (Pulcini and Fiasco), verba dicendi in comparative and translation perspective English-Italian (Bruti), as well as the use of already in audiovisual translation from English (Pavesi and Zanotti). Of a didactic and transcultural nature are two essays on English as a Lingua Franca (Lopriore, Sperti) and a third on English as a relay language (Nied Curcio). Two literary and theatrical essays on Laurence Sterne (Ruggieri) and Shakespeare's Macbeth (Di Giovanni and Raffi) complete the collection, while an essay on Charles Dickens' shorthand practices moves between language and literature (Bowles)
Teaching Medical English: Methods and Models
No full textMedical English studies are an increasingly significant component of university life, in both medical and biomedical degree courses as well as medically-oriented research projects. Nowhere is this truer than in Italy. This volume records the state of the art in this area of knowledge and teaching as discussed in the First National Conference on Medical English held in Foggia in April 2010 and from which the papers in this volume ultimately derive. Teaching Medical English: Methods and Models is thus a record of up-to-date research and thinking in the worldwide scholarly community as well as a guide to current teaching activities and best practices
‘Family Sayings’: Two Generations of Italian Quack Doctors in 17h-Century London
No full textThe paper analyses the documents still extant concerning two Italian irregular practitioners who worked in London from the mid-seventeenth century. The analysis is carried out by comparing the handbills issued by the two Salvator Winter (father and son) and the ‘materia medica’ pamphlets of Winter Sr. In detail it looks for the permanence and/or development of medical terminology in the course of about fifty years, in order to verify any possible advancement in medical knowledge over this time. It also considers the fame achieved by Salvator Winter Sr. on the basis of mentions of his name and activities in contemporary literature
Comunicare la scienza medica nel Settecento europeo: uno sguardo alle prospettive della ricerca
Get PDFNella prefazione alla pubblicazione dei contenuti scientifici della Giornata di Studi "Comunicare la scienza medica nel Settecento europeo", curata da Elena Agazzi, Giovanni Iamartino e Paolo Mazzarello, che collaborano alla presentazione di questo fascicolo degli Incontri di Studio dell'Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere, le loro diverse competenze di germanista, anglista e storico della medicina consentono di intrecciare un dialogo multiprospettico con gli autori che hanno contribuito alla pubblicazione, restituendo un panorama trans- e interdisciplinare degli studi medici nel XVIII secolo europeo. Si presenta perciò il caso del "mesmerismo" e delle controversie che questo ha provocato, il sorgere di una scuola medica a Halle (Germania) di chiara connotazione antropologico-filosofica, la pragmatica storica come prospettiva con cui studiare metodi e approcci nei trattamenti terapeutici in Inghilterra, lo studio delle sedi e delle cause delle malattie da parte di Giovan Battista Morgagni, la divulgazione del sapere medico nella Roma del Settecento da parte di Giovanni Maria Lancisi, l'approccio fisiologico negli studi di Denis Diderot e la presenza del tema medico nella rivista "Caffé" dei fratelli Verri.In the preface to the publication of the scientific contents of the Study Day "Communicating medical science in the European eighteenth century", edited by Elena Agazzi, Giovanni Iamartino and Paolo Mazzarello, who collaborate in the presentation of this booklet of the Study Meetings of the Lombard Academy of Sciences and Letters, their different skills as Germanist, Anglist and historian of medicine allow them to weave a multi-perspective dialogue with the authors who contributed to the publication, restoring a trans- and interdisciplinary panorama of medical studies in the European eighteenth century. Here are presented the case of "mesmerism" and the controversies that this has provoked, the emergence of a medical school in Halle (Germany) with a clear anthropological-philosophical connotation, historical pragmatics as a perspective with which to study methods and approaches in therapeutic treatments in England, the study of the locations and causes of diseases by Giovan Battista Morgagni, the dissemination of medical knowledge in eighteenth-century Rome by Giovanni Maria Lancisi, the physiological approach in Denis Diderot's studies and the presence of the medical theme in the "Caffé" magazine by the Verri brothers
