Selected letters of Alessandra Strozzi
No full textThe letters of Alessandra Strozzi provide a vivid and spirited portrayal of life in fifteenth-century Florence. Among the richest autobiographical materials to survive from the Italian Renaissance, the letters reveal a woman who fought stubbornly to preserve her family's property and position in adverse circumstances, and who was an acute observer of Medicean society. Her letters speak of political and social status, of the concept of honor, and of the harshness of life, including the plague and the loss of children. They are also a guide to Alessandra's inner life over a period of twenty-three years, revealing the pain and sorrow, and, more rarely, the joy and triumph, with which she responded to the events unfolding around her.This edition includes translations, in full or in part, of 35 of the 73 extant letters. The selections carry forward the story of Alessandra's life and illustrate the range of attitudes, concerns, and activities which were characteristic of their author
Structural Properties of Polyglutamine Aggregates Investigated via Molecular Dynamics Simulations
No full textPolyglutamine (polyQ) beta-stranded aggregates constitute the hallmark of Huntington disease. The disease is fully penetrant when Q residues are more than 36-40 ("disease threshold"). Here, based on a molecular dynamics study on polyQ helical structures of different shapes and oligomeric states, we suggest that the stability of the aggregates increases with the number of monomers, while it is rather insensitive to the number of Qs in each monomer. However, the stability of the single monomer does depend on the number of side-chain intramolecular H-bonds, and therefore oil the number of Qs. If such number is lower than that of the disease threshold, the beta-stranded monomers are unstable and hence may aggregate with lower probability, consistently with experimental findings. Our results provide a possible interpretation of the apparent polyQ length dependent-toxicity, and they do not support the so-called "structural threshold hypothesis", which supposes a transition from random coil to a beta-sheet structure only above the disease threshold
Challenging the author: Gavin Douglas's Eneados
No full textGavin Douglas’s Eneados, a translation into the “Scottis” tongue of Virgil’s Aeneid, completed in 1513 and first published in London in 1553, presents, as well as the translation of the additional thirteenth book by Maphaeus Vegius, original prologues and marginal notes to the text, rubrics and articulate conclusive material. The present paper analyses this complex paratext as evidence of Douglas’s almost philological attention to the original and his preoccupation with a faithful reproduction; it is also suggested that the models for his organization of the commentary might be both medieval (i.e., manuscripts such as Petrarch’s Virgilius Ambrosianus) and early modern, as in the case of editions of classical works: the most apt example being Jodocus Badius Ascensius’ edition of the Aeneid, printed in 1501. The Eneados thus stands on the threshold between manuscript and print, and might have indicated new possibilities of use of the printing medium in Scotland, and of the value of the translation of a classical text, had history not intervened with the Scottish defeat at Flodden Fields in 1513, which put a temporary stop both to the circulation of the Eneados and to the development of Scottish printing
Nicetas Nicaenus, De azymis
No full textThe RAP online repertorium offers the first comprehensive catalogue of polemical literature related to the schism between the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches from the 9th to the 16th century and can be described as an ideal continuation of the *Clavis Patrum*.
Each entry identifies the work (often unpublished or newly discovered in manuscript catalogs), lists its various titles (since medieval texts often lack stable titles), provides incipit and explicit (with possible variations), and examines the manuscript tradition and foliation (by reviewing catalogs or manuscripts, verifying dates, folios, etc.). It also includes relevant bibliography (critical editions and studies), identifies the author (using prosopographical studies, dictionaries, repertories, sigillography, etc.), and provides essential biographical details. Each work is classified by literary genre (e.g., treatise, dialogue), the corresponding Byzantine term, and the main polemical themes (e.g., Filioque, Azymes, Purgatory), and is assigned a unique RAP identification number.
