No full textBasil the Great\u27s epistles were translated into Georgian twice during the 18th-19th cc. In 1798-1799, an almost complete corpus of letters, 356 epistles (ep. 1-38, 42-359), was rendered by Gaios the Rector. Thereafter, in the first quarter of the 19th c., an anonymous translator rendered two epistles of the same author (ep. 1, 2.1-3). The rendition of Gaios the Rector is preserved in the manuscripts of Ioane Bagrationi’s collection N 274 (1798; part I) and N 95 (1799; part II, ep. 150.2-359), both being autographs. The manuscripts are maintained in Saint Petersburg’s National Library of Russia. A copy of the second part of the epistle collection is preserved in the National Centre of Manuscripts of Georgia N S 381 (1846, ep. 151-359). The translation of Gaios the Rector represents word-by-word rendition of the Russian edition (Василий Великий, 1787), though the Russian source is estimated as being “obscure and not always correct” (Попов, 1902, 197). The obscurity, to some extent, is found also in the Georgian translation. The rendition of the anonymous translator, ep. 1, 2.1-3, is preserved in the autograph manuscript N A 820 (first quarter of the 19th c.) of the National Centre of Manuscripts of Georgia. The anonymous translator used the same Russian edition and the Greek source of the latter (Sancti Patris Nostri Basilii, 1730). Comparing the rendition to the deed of Gaios the Rector, it is evident that the translation is also literal, however, more elaborated on account of the nature of the Georgian language, while in Gaios’ rendition even the word order of the source is mostly maintained. Both translations follow the literary style of Anton I, Catholicos of Georgia. Both of them, especially the corpus of epistles fully rendered by Gaios the Rector, had a great importance for the intellectual society of his time

Homilies of Aphrahat the Persian Sage and Their Georgian Translations
Get PDFDuring my research on the writings of Theodoret of Cyrus, I encountered the homilies of Aphrahat the Persian Sage, since their authorship in the Armenian translation was ascribed to the first Syrian ascetic, Jacob of Nisibis, hero of the first chapter of Theodoret’s Historia Philothea. It incited me to discover the Georgian translations of the Demonstrations and analyze their reliability. This article represents a preliminary study of both homilies of Aphrahat rendered into Georgian: the 10th-century Georgian translation of Homily VI, rendered by an anonymous translator from an Armenian source, and the modern rendition of Homily VIII translated by Lasha Bezhanishvili from English
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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 PDFWe 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
