Angelo Maria Bandini in viaggio a Roma (1780-1781)
Get PDFDall’edizione di una memoria autografa relativa al viaggio che il bibliotecario Angelo Maria Bandini compì da Firenze alla volta del Sud Italia (1780-1781) emerge un ricco spaccato culturale della Roma della seconda metà del XVIII secolo. Salotti, caffè e cioccolate, riti religiosi, relazioni curiali, azione riformatrice di Pio VI fanno da sfondo alla descrizione minuziosa di una Roma ‘museo diffuso’. Bandini, bibliotecario ed erudito del secolo dei lumi, visita e osserva, infatti, palazzi, gallerie d’arte, gabinetti e chiese, dedicando particolare attenzione alle biblioteche, dal cui setaccio emergono notevoli pezzi e preziose curiosità.A rich cultural cross-section of Rome in the second half of the 18th century emerges through the editing of an autograph memory relating to the journey that the librarian Angelo Maria Bandini made from Florence to South Italy (1780-1781). Lounges, coffee and chocolate, religious rituals, curial relations, reforming action of Pius VI form the background to the meticulous description of a Rome "widespread museum". Bandini, librarian and scholar of the Enlightenment century, visits and observes palaces, art galleries, literary lounges and churches, with particular attention to libraries, highlighting remarkable books and precious curiosities
Le métier de bibliothécaire au XVIIIe siècle : Angelo Maria Bandini à Florence (1726-1803)
No full textInternational audienceFor over half a century, Angelo Maria Bandini (1726-1803) was librarian of the Laurentian and Marucelliana libraries in Florence. His career attests the transformations of librarianship in the eighteenth century, under the institutional and cultural reforms implemented by the grand dukes of Habsbourg-Lorraine.These new public libraries, such as the Marucelliana, are perfect illustrations of a policy which emphasized public utility and cultural modernization; librarianship is founded on cataloguing and the material and cultural management of purchasing policies. However these transformations are not linear: at the Laurentian library, which is admired by visitors from all over Europe, Bandini, through his monumental catalog of manuscripts and with his correspondence, continued to maintain a library exclusively reserved for the erudites.La carrière d’Angelo Maria Bandini (1726-1803), bibliothécaire pendant plus d’un demi-siècle des bibliothèques Laurentienne et Marucelliana de Florence, témoigne des mutations du travail du bibliothécaire au XVIIIe siècle, dans le cadre des réformes institutionnelles et culturelles des grands-ducs Habsbourg-Lorraine. Les nouvelles bibliothèques publiques comme la Marucelliana sont en effet le lieu d’une politique tournée vers l’utilité publique et la modernisation culturelle; le métier de bibliothécaire s’y structure autour du travail catalographique et de la gestion matérielle et intellectuelle des politiques d’achat. Mais ces mutations ne sont pas linéaires: à la Laurentienne, admirée par les visiteurs de toute l’Europe, Bandini continue d’entretenir, par son monumental catalogue des manuscrits et sa correspondance, une bibliothèque réservée aux seuls érudits
Angelo Maria Bandini (1726-1803) e gli avori di ‘Grado’ e ‘Salerno’
No full textGli studi di erudizione e antiquaria del XVIII secolo in Italia aprono una nuova pagina della fortuna dei primitivi: la scoperta degli avori medievali. Il fine del presente contributo è ampliare il quadro di conoscenze sulle vicende di conservazione e esposizione di questi manufatti in età moderna, al fine di aggiungere nuovi tasselli sull’origine e sull’assetto di significativi complessi di questa produzione medievale, come gli avori di Grado e di Salerno. Queste opere sono prese in considerazione per il tramite dell’antiquario fiorentino Angelo Maria Bandini, che ebbe ad occuparsi di entrambi i complessi con contributi rilevanti, finora inediti o trascurati dalla letteratura che si è occupata dell’argomento. Si presenta un opuscolo su uno degli avori di Grado, che permette di conoscere l’ubicazione dell’opera nella prima metà del Settecento, aprendo uno squarcio nel tema complesso della omogeneità dell’intero gruppo di opere in relazione anche alle opere presenti nella cattedrale di Grado. Nella parte finale del testo si analizza la testimonianza inedita di Bandini, che costituisce la più antica descrizione degli avori di Salerno, realizzata in occasione del suo viaggio a Roma e a Napoli (1780-1781), ponendola a confronto con le prime testimonianze sulla scoperta degli avori campani, in merito, in particolare, alle notizie inviate da Galiani a Gori (1751). La ricostituzione di tale quadro nel riflesso del doppio contributo di Bandini permette di apportare inediti contributi alla conoscenza di due dei maggiori complessi eburnei che sono giunti fino a noi dall’età medievale e di porre le basi per nuovi sviluppi nella comprensione dell’origine, della destinazione degli avori e del loro riuso e conseguente dispersione in età moderna
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
