Sefer Yosippon: Reevaluations
No full textAuthor brings here some thoughts for discussion about Sefer Yosippon, that seminal history of Second Temple Jews whose influence on Jews and Christians for the past millennium has been monumental. Indeed scholarship since the Renaissance has interpreted the book as ranging from fabula to history. In his concluding remarks, author suggest that Sefer Yosippon has in addition to its historical methodology, to its literary innovations and brilliant style unique in its time, a possible polemical response to the vicissitudes of the Jews in southern Italy during the several generations following the Byzantine persecutions in southern Italy.Author brings here some thoughts for discussion about Sefer Yosippon, that seminal history of Second Temple Jews whose influence on Jews and Christians for the past millennium has been monumental.

Il tly nella cosmologia del Sefer ḥaḵmônî
No full textThe tly in the cosmology of Sefer ḥaḵmônî
Šabbeṯay Donnolo’s Sefer ḥaḵmônî describes a celestial dragon called tly, which presents features belonging to different celestial objects, namely the dragon that was thought to be responsible for the eclipses, the Draco constellation, and the Milky Way. This mixture is already present in the two sources that the author cites, namely the Sefer yeṣîrah and the Barayta de-Šmu’el. The latter shows several parallels with Persian texts, such as the Iranian Bundahišn.Nel Sefer ḥaḵmônî di Šabbeṯay Donnolo si descrive un drago celeste chiamato tly. Esso possiede le caratteristiche del drago che, nell’astrologia medioevale, era ritenuto responsabile delle eclissi, della costellazione del Drago e della Via Lattea. La fusione di questi oggetti celesti è presente già nelle uniche due fonti citate da Donnolo, ossia il Sefer yeṣîrah e la Barayta de-Šmu’el. Quest’ultima in particolare mostra diversi punti di contatto con testi quali il Bundahišn iranico.

Il Sefer ha-yaqar di Šabbeṯay Donnolo: traduzione italiana commentata
No full textThe Sefer ha-yaqar of Šabbeṯay Donnolo: An Annotated Italian Translation
The Sefer ha-yaqar, also known as Sefer ha-mirqaḥoṯ, is a work of pharmacopoeia written by the Jewish medic and astronomer Šabbeṯay Donnolo, in which the author sums up his forty-year experience in preparing electuaries (mirqaḥoṯ) and other medicaments. Honey is the main ingredient for electuaries, so the treatise first of all gives instructions as to how to avoid the wrong kinds of honey and how to prepare the right ones in order to make them last for a long time. Numerous herbs, plants, flowers and resins are described, together with the correct procedure for each one in order to mix them not only with honey but occasionaly also with oil and other fats. The present Italian translation, which was carried out on the Hebrew text, presents some new suggestions regarding the identification of some plant names, of which Donnolo often gives the Latin, Greek or vernacular versions.Traduzione italiana commentata del Sefer ha-yaqar (Libro prezioso), noto anche come Sefer ha-mirqaḥoṯ (Libro degli elettuari). Opera del medico, astronomo e filosofo italiano ebreo Šabbetay Donnolo, questo breve trattato farmacologico riporta la summa dell’esperienza quarantennale del suo autore nella preparazione di elettuari e altre tipologie di farmaci, di cui il miele costituisce il principale ingrediente. In esso, l'autore fornisce indicazioni sulla scelta del miele e sulla sua preparazione, in modo da assicurare una lunghissima conservazione degli elettuari con esso preparati. Sono descritte inoltre diverse piante ed erbe medicinali, resine e fiori, unitamente al modo ottimale di combinare ciascuno di questi ingredienti non solo con il prodotto delle api, ma anche con grassi vegetali e animali. La presente traduzione italiana, effettuata direttamente sull’originale ebraico presente in due manoscritti, propone nuove ipotesi sull’identificazione di alcuni nomi di piante, che nelle precedenti edizioni del testo, tedesca e inglese, risultavano problematici.

Addis Ababa's Sefer, Iddir, and Gebbi: Nuanced reading of complex urban forms
No full textThis research is motivated by the scholarly calls for new concepts and analytic tools for documenting, analysing, and theorizing complex urban territories such as those of cities in Africa. With implicit comparative intent, it takes the case of Addis Ababa city and its old and typifying places—the sefer, to develop and test a new architectural transdisciplinary research methodology referred to as the trinocular. By way of this methodology, it unearths and introduces sefer, iddir, and gebbi of Addis Ababa as not only socio-spatial phenomena but concepts and vocabulary for a located and nuanced reading of the city itself. Sefer are introduced as flexible boundary conditions that are primarily cognized by their dwellers—results of indigenous and autochthonous foundation and continued processes of self-actualization by communities that construct them. Iddir is unearthed as a form of social capital embedded in sefer that appears in the structures of relations among residents. And the gebbi as an urban spatial typology that constitutes the sefer’s morphology—the last frontier of communality just prior domestic spaces which, in many cases, can be a single multi-functional room.These concepts and vocabulary, it is argued, in both practical and metaphoric sense, should be the starting point of new urban imaginaries for Addis Ababa. Urban planning and housing projections thus, should draw inspiration from these notions, elements, and phenomena. Furthermore, lessons learnt from the trinocular and the findings are presented as new avenues for architectural research in similar, less-known, and complex urban conditions as the sefer of Addis Ababa.Space & Typ
Analysis of chromatin structure reveals the connection between sQTLs and the splicing of distant genes
No full textGene expression and regulation with or without alternative splicing are key factors for cells to properly function. Distant splicing quantitative trait loci (distant sQTLs) are genomic mutations that impact the alternative splicing patterns of far-away genes. Nevertheless, the procedures causing a distant sQTL to regulate the alternative splicing of genes are not well defined. Higher resolution chromosome conformation capture experiments like Micro-C or Hi-C together with an expanding number of sQTL datasets on humans help us in understanding the spatial processes governing distant sQTL relationships at a genome-wide scale. In this study, we focus on analyzing whether spatial closeness helps in regulating sQTL-gene interactions over high-order chromatin topological domain structure, which is inferred from chromosome conformation experiments. We discover larger-scale chromatin shape to be in line with sQTL associations. In detail, sQTLs are generally spatially near their splicing genes in 3D, they frequently appear near topologically associating domain (TAD) and frequently interacting region (FIRE) boundaries, and are favorably related to genes over TADs and FIREs. Additionally, we discover that inside-domain sQTLs accompanied by functional regulatory elements, including enhancers and promoters, are spatially closer than all inside-domain sQTLs. This result suggests that spatial closeness between sQTLs and their distant splicing genes obtained from chromatin’s TAD structure has major importance in regulating alternative splicing and thus in gene regulation. Our results are robust across different experiments such as Hi-C and Micro-C, different TAD inference methods, different Hi-C binning resolutions, different alternative splicing events, and once we control for eQTLs, which are shown to be spatially close to their genes. © The Author(s) 2025.TÜBİTAKPublisher versio
