Georgii Vallae placentini in Iuvenalis Satyras Commentarii. Edizione critica
Full text linkNel presente volume appare la prima edizione critica integrale del commento di Giorgio Valla (1447-1500) a Giovenale, pubblicato in editio princeps a Venezia l’8 novembre 1486. Il commento costituisce un unicum nella variegata costellazione dell’esegesi umanistica dedicata alle Satire dell’Aquinate, in quanto in esso sono disseminate tracce sia del cosiddetto commentum vetustum a Giovenale (V secolo), sia degli scholia recentiora di età carolingia.
L’edizione critica è corredata da indici dettagliati che consentono di ricostruire esaurientemente la mappatura delle fonti antiche impiegate, per redigere il commento, da Giorgio Valla, possessore di una delle biblioteche private più fornite – soprattutto di testi manoscritti greci – nella seconda metà del Quattrocento
Georgii Vallae placentini in Iuvenalis Satyras Commentarii
Full text linkThe present thesis intends to be the first critical edition of the commentary on the Satires of Juvenal published by Giorgio Valla (1447-1500) in Venice in 1486. The significance of this commentary that holds many meaningful traces of the corpus of scholia vetustiora on Juvenal under the name of an otherwise unknown Probus, has been recognized by scholars in the last century. The thesis is divided in four sections: introduction, note on text, commentary with apparatus, indexes. The introduction exposes an outline on the juvenalian studies and lectures in the second half of XVth century undertaken by scholars such as Angelo Sabino, Domizio Calderini and Giorgio Merula, focusing on the more significant contributions of the Giorgio Valla's commentary in the textual criticism and exegesis of the Satires. The introduction also includes a brief summing-up of the classical sources, latin and greek, openly mentioned or word-for-word quoted in the commentary. The note on text deals with the editing standards used in this thesis and also contains some marks on the relationship between the lemmas of the commentary and the text of Juvenal whose margins were filled by the commentary, according to an usual typographic dress for scholastic texts, attempting to define which kinds of handwritten sources of the Satires Valla was able to handle with. The third section is the outright commentary (extended on more than 300 pages in modern format) with a textual apparatus arranged in footnotes that also includes some references to classical sources used but not outspoken by the humanist. The thesis is concluded by three different kinds of indexes (index of classical sources, index of variants, index of names) thought as an useful help for scholars who in future will need to consult this commentary
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
Glossario Bergamasco Medievale
No full textIl Glossario Bergamasco Medioevale, attualmente conservato presso la Biblioteca Civica Angelo Mai di Bergamo, è costituito da quattro quaderni manoscritti, all’interno dei quali sono registrati oltre 1500 lemmi organizzati alfabeticamente: ampio è il repertorio delle fonti, molte delle quali ancor oggi inedite, impiegate a conferma dei lemmi del Glossario.
Le citazioni sono soprattutto ricavate da pergamene d’archivio, nonché da documentazione statutaria e notarile tardomedievale della città di Bergamo e delle valli bergamasche.
Molte annotazioni sono esplicitamente provvisorie: è evidente che lo studioso si proponeva di riprenderle in seguito, completandole e riformulandole ove necessario, ma la complessiva sistematizzazione del materiale raccolto sarà poi impedita dalle ristrettezze economiche e dal repentino peggioramento delle condizioni di salute del Tiraboschi.
L’accesso ai contenuti del Glossario Bergamasco Medievale è possibile attraverso un indice dei lemmi, organizzato secondo l’ordine originale del manoscritto (alfabetico, con alcune eccezioni, dovute a sviste del Tiraboschi nella compilazione dei suoi appunti), un motore di ricerca testuale sui lemmi e un accesso sequenziale che consente di passare da ogni pagina alla successiva o alla precedente dei manoscritti
