Seta e diplomazia al tempo di Michele VIII Paleologo: dal pallio di san Lorenzo al perduto ricamo per il papa Gregorio X
Costantinopoli e Genova: relazioni politiche e testimonianze artistiche tra XII e XVI secolo
Il lavoro di ricerca, focalizzato in duplice prospettiva su Costantinopoli e Genova, si propone di misurare l’entità e la qualità dei rapporti artistici intercorsi tra questi due centri, in costante dialogo tra di loro a partire dalla metà del XII secolo
Un “cimelio bizantino del tutto negletto”: la stauroteca della Certosa di Farneta presso Lucca
Roma, aprile 1804
Nel breve racconto in forma di diario ho deciso di far incontrare il protagonista, un personaggio di fantasia, con Jean-Baptiste Seroux d’Agincourt (1730-1814).
La menzione degli oggetti nella casa di Seroux d’Agincourt è tratta dalla Descrizione de Beni Ereditari della bo: Mem. Sig. Cavaliere Gio: Batta, Luigi, Giorgio Seroux d’Agincourt [Roma, Archivio di Stato, Trenta notai capitolini, Ufficio 9, vol. 950, ff. 369r-374v, 389r-391r] del 1814.
Le parole che descrivono lo stato d’animo del protagonista a Roma, che si sente inondato di luce come se una dracma si fosse poggiata sulla sua retina, sono liberamente ispirate a una poesia di Iosif Brodskij.
Le notizie sui monumenti, sulle opere d’arte e sui manoscritti miniati derivano da J.-B. Seroux d’Agincourt, Histoire de l’Art par les monumens depuis sa décadence au IVe siècle jusqu’à son renouvellement au XVIe, I-VI, Paris 1823.
Gli atti blasfemi imputati al libraio Giuseppe Nave sono descritti nelle carte del processo al Nave [Roma, Archivio di Stato, Giunta di Stato (1799-1800), b. 2, fasc. 31].
Le parole pronunciate prima dei saluti finali dal protagonista, parole che Seroux d’Agincourt associa alla figura del prefetto della biblioteca di San Marco a Venezia, sono scritte proprio da quest’ultimo e possono leggersi nel codice della Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Vat. lat. 9054, ff. 219r-220v, in part. f. 220r (Lettera di Jacopo Morelli a Gaetano Marini, da Venezia 30 settembre 1811; Marini sta a Parigi e riceve questa lettera tramite Aubin-Louis Millin).
Tutti i personaggi, tranne il viaggiatore che scrive, sono realmente esistiti
Phonological short-term store impairment after cerebellar lesion: A single case study
The cerebellum is a recent addition to the growing list of cerebral areas involved in the multifaceted structural system that sustains verbal working memory (vWM), but its contribution is still a matter of debate. Here, we present a patient with a selective deficit of vWM resulting from a bilateral cerebellar ischemic lesion. After this acute event, the patient had impaired immediate and delayed word-serial recall and auditory-verbal delayed recognition. The digit span, however, was completely preserved. To investigate the cerebellar contribution to vWM, four experiments addressing the function of different vWM phonological loop components were performed 18 months after the lesion, and results were compared with normative data or, when needed, with a small group of matched controls. In Experiment 1, digit span was assessed with different presentation and response modalities using lists of digits of varying lengths. In Experiment 2, the articulatory rehearsal system was analyzed by measurement of word length and articulatory suppression effects. Experiment 3 was devoted to analyzing the phonological short-term store (ph-STS) by the recency effect, the phonological similarity effect, short-term forgetting, and unattended speech. Data suggested a possible key role of the semantic component of the processed material, which was tested in Experiment 4, in which word and nonword-serial recall with or without interpolating activity were analyzed. The patient showed noticeably reduced scores in the tasks that primarily or exclusively engaged activity of the ph-STS, namely those of Experiment 3, and good performance in the tests that investigated the recirculation of verbal information. This pattern of results implicates the ph-STS as the cognitive locus of the patient's deficit. This report demonstrates a cerebellar role in encoding and/or strengthening the phonological traces in vWM. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
