    The paper focuses on Ippolito Rosellini, co-director with J.F. Champollion of the Franco-Tuscan Expedition to Egypt (1828-29) and first Professor of Egyptology in Europe, at the University of Pisa. His important contribution to the formative phase of the new-born Egyptology is highlighted through the study of his unpublished manuscripts and some drawings of the Expedition in the Biblioteca Universitaria of Pisa. These documents were studied, digitized and put on the web in the framework of a specific project, directed by the author, “Progetto Rosellini”. The volume including this paper, it too edited by M. Betrò, is the catalogue of the homonymous exhibition organized by the author in the Egyptian Museum of Cairo in 2010. The international exhibition exposed for the first time in Egypt about one hundred drawings and manuscripts among the most important and beautiful from Ippolito Rosellini and the Tuscan Expedition Archive

    Les pilotis de Le Corbusier : les questions de la « la colonne ronde et évidée » et du coffrage

    No full text
    Nel saggio, il concetto di "pilotis" di Le Corbusier viene ripercorso a partire dalla sua scoperta della forza plastica e della specificità costruttiva delle colonne in tamburi di marmo dei templi greci, ammirate durante il viaggio del 1911, dalle sue proposte tecniche per un genere di colonna astratto e tecnicamente in linea con i criteri costruttivi contemporanei, come quando inventa la "colonne ronde et évidée" da fabbricare grazie all'eternit, sino alla creazione, al tempo stesso plastica e tecnica, dei pilotis degli anni Trenta e di quelli del secondo dopoguerra, dove la materia - il calcestruzzo armato lasciato a vista - gli consente di generare ormai delle colonne di una qualità plastica paragonabile a quella posseduta dalle colonne greche. L’analisi delle diverse soluzioni proposte da Le Corbusier viene fatta attraverso una visione che privilegia lo studio della costruzione, dei materiali e delle tecniche, sempre verificati attraverso i documenti d'archivio e la conoscenza diretta delle opere

    Exempla elocutionum in Servio

    In this study I collected and analyzed passages in which Servius and the so-called Servius Danielis, in their Commentary of Vergil’s works, deal with questions of syntax (elocutiones). I aimed to see how much interest Servius and SD had in this topic, which doctrinal and didactic principles guided them, which sources they had available and made use of, which linguistic auctoritates they ascribed value to on this subject. Servius and the Servius Danielis deal not so frequently with this topic, that in Servius’ own times was already a well-established field of latin grammar, and quote Modestus, Plinius the Elder, Valerius Probus, and Carminius as auctoritates on the subject. In the Commentary there is no reference to the only author de elocutionibus whose work is preserved, Arusianus Messius: it is very likely, in my opinion, that the two grammarians worked independently, if not at the same time. On the ground of an overall consideration of the subject, I think that a passage of Servius’ text (ad Aen. 7, 756) must be corrected

    Literary Skinheads? Writing from the Right in Reunified Germany

    No full text
    Literary Skinheads? is a very nuanced, meticulously researched and vividly written study of a series of important debates in German literary circles since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the rapid political transformations that have accompanied German unification. No other book in the English-speaking world offers such a comprehensive survey of the legacy of radical conservative ideas in German political life. Rosellini not only offers trenchant interpretations of major political controversies of the last decade in Germany, but he also provides the necessary background information needed to make sense of these important public debates. Elliott Neaman, author of A Dubious Past: Ernst Junger and the Politics of Literature after Nazism.https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/purduepress_ebooks/1021/thumbnail.jp
