No full text"A mutual horizon of events": Epicurus' Letter to Herodotus between philology and philosophy
No full textIn his recent volume, L'Epistola a Erodoto e it Bios di Epicuro in Diogene Laerzio. Note testuali, esegetiche e metodologiche, Walter Lapini discusses the text of Epicurus' Letter to Herodotus, which has been the focus of repeated efforts of editors, translators and exegetes. Sceptical as to whether intra-textual and narrative strategies can make clearly corrupt passages syntactically acceptable, the author draws inspiration from Usener's methodology, approaching the text as a homo grammaticus. The author pursues his aim by clarifying unusual grammatical constructions and nexuses, emending the text, putting forward some conjectures, and explaining the origin of the errors he has identified. In these pages I discuss some emendations suggested by Lapini that I regard as particularly relevant solutions for grasping the content of the Letter to Herodotus, as well as the author's attitude to philosophical exegesis. The present essay attempts to bridge the gap between grammar and theory, which the author in certain cases tends to exacerbate.In his recent volume, L'Epistola a Erodoto e it Bios di Epicuro in Diogene Laerzio.

Sr isotopes and italian wines: an attempt to characterize traceability for the wine origin and marketing
No full textThe assignment of geographical origin of highly valuable products such as wine, is of considerable importance within the European Union. Conventional chemical methods of analysis are not always able to evaluate unambiguously the regional provenance of wine. Therefore, stable isotope ratio of bioelements such as C, N, O, S and isotope ratios of heavy elements (Pb and Sr) have been also applied to provide additional information of wine regional origin. The application of Sr isotopes to the characterization of wine dates as back as the ‘90s (Horns et al., 1993). In these two decades, however, no clear-cut evidence has been achieved on the thoroughly usefulness of Sr isotopes for wine characterization. In fact, isotopic ambiguity has been found for wines from certain areas throughout the world (e.g. Vorster et al., 2010). The first data of Sr-isotope ratios of Italian wines were carried out by Wolff-Bönisch et al. (1998), who reported analyses of wines from the Vesuvius and Etna volcanic districts, finding obvious differences. Recently, Mercurio et al. (2011) have determined the isotopic composition of wines from the Phlegrean Fields area, and Castorina and Masi (2011) have carried out a study of wines from Romagna. In this work, we present the Sr isotopic composition of several Italian wines aimed at evaluating the potential of this geochemical tracer of provenance. Although a larger database is needed, nevertheless, the results obtained with this study confirm that Sr isotopes can be used as a valuable tool for constraining the geographical origin of wine, at least combined with the application of other isotopic systematics and/or multi-element analysis

No full textEpicurus on eidola. Peri phuseos book II. Update, Proposals, and Discussions
No full textIl Peri Phuseos è composto in 37 libri, giuntici in modo frammentario grazie ai papiri di Ercolano. Fu senz’altro l’opera principale di Epicuro: in essa sono approfonditi i temi fondamentali della dottrina atomistica. Nel II libro (da poco edito da Giuliana Leone) è affrontata la dottrina delle immagini e della visione.
Nel febbraio 2013 si è tenuto, a Venezia, il primo convegno internazionale dedicato interamente a questo libro. Nel presente volume sono raccolti gli atti relativi.
