Donatus’ Ars grammatica and educational practices of Late Antiquity: Sergius — Cledonius — Pompeius
No full textThe article is based on the analysis of Donatus’ Ars grammatica and the texts of his closest commentators — Sergius (sometimes called as Ps.-Cassiodorus), Cledonius and Pompeus. The purpose of this paper is to reconstruct the beginnings of a new educational pro-cess (5th century), rooted in Western European grammatical science in the early Middle Ages. In particular, the content of Sergius’ grammatical fragments, named De littera, de syllaba, de pedibus, de accentibus, de distinctione [“ On the letter, syllable, verse feet, ac-cents and position”], Cledonius’ Ars and Ars secunda and Pompey’s Commentum artis Donati of Pompey is under consideration. The problem of authorship of grammatical texts Explanationum in Artem Donati and Commentarium de oratione et de octo partibus orationis [“Commentary on speech and eight parts of speech”], which were circulated under different names — Sergius, Servius, Cassiodorus and Ps.-Cassiodorus — is discussed. Through a comparative analy-sis, the similarities and differences between the texts which are under consideration with respect to Donatus’ Ars grammatica are revealed. It is shown how the grammar of Late Antique in the 5th century gradually became less strict (in comparison with its authoritative model), how it was adapted to the needs of the new time. It is concluded that, on the one hand, the methods chosen by Sergius (Ps.-Cassiodorus), Cledonius and Pompey for the grammatical description and explana-tion of parts of the speech of Donatus’ Ars grammatica were differed sharply from the methods of presentation by Donatus himself. But, on the other hand, Donatus’ commentators could not manage to create any new grammar in the 5th century
Évagre, Marc le Moine, Ps.-Macaire, Sergius de Rešʿayna, Ps.-Denys l'Aréopagite : le manuscrit ascétique retrouvé Mossoul 708 (olim Mossoul Scher 92)
Get PDFThe manuscript Mosul Scher 92 has attracted repeatedly the attention of scholars working on Syriac manuscripts. The brief description given by Scher is puzzling and allows only to iden-tify the manuscript as an ascetical-monastic collection based on three renowned corpora: the Book of Evagrius, the Book of Mark the Monk, and the Corpus Dionysiacum. The physical manuscript got lost after 1907, and was found only in August 2023, when I identified one microfilm inside the archives of the late René Draguet, hosted by Université Catholique de Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve). The microfilm, of high quality and in a perfect state of preser-vation, permitted the description and analysis presented here. It will shed new light on the circulation of the texts of Evagrius, Mark, Ps.-Macarius, Sergius and Ps.-Dyonisius inside the East-Syrian monastic milieu. All the three corpora present several peculiarities and features permitting us to trace a line between the texts we find in 6-7-8th c. manuscripts and this late 18th witness, looking at how, why and when a “monastic handbook” can be organized, even if survived only in a private microfilm, forgotten in one of Draguet’s cigar boxes.Le manuscrit Mossoul Scher 92 a attiré à plusieurs reprises l’attention des chercheurs travail-lant sur les manuscrits syriaques. La brève description donnée par Scher est énigmatique et permet seulement d’identifier le manuscrit comme une collection ascétique-monastique basée sur trois corpus renommés : le Livre d’Évagre, le Livre de Marc le Moine et le Corpus Diony-siacum. Le manuscrit physique a été perdu après 1907 et n’a été retrouvé qu’en août 2023, lorsque j’ai identifié un microfilm dans les archives du René Draguet, conservé aujourd’hui à l’Université Catholique de Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve). Le microfilm, de haute qualité et dans un état de conservation parfait, a permis la description et l’analyse présentées ici. Il éclairera des nouveaux aspects de la circulation des textes d’Évagre, Marc, Ps.-Macaire, Serge et Ps.-Denys au sein du milieu monastique syro-oriental. Les trois corpus présentent plusieurs particularités et caractéristiques nous permettant de tracer une ligne entre les textes que l’on trouve dans les manuscrits des VIe, VIIe et VIIIe siècles et ce témoin tardif du XVIIIe siècle, en examinant comment, pourquoi et quand un “manuel monastique” peut être organisé, même s’il ne survit que dans un microfilm privé, oublié dans l’une des boîtes à cigares de Draguet
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
