Scultura funeraria napoletana in età moderna. Per un avvio alla catalogazione del patrimonio 1470-1623
No full textNella premessa al volume sulla scultura napoletana del Cinquecento, Francesco Abbate, riprendendo le parole di Jacob Burckhardt, elogiava il «ricco tesoro» della scultura funeraria partenopea, che lo storico svizzero aveva considerato, probabilmente non senza una dose di ammirato stupore, una «schiera marmorea di guerrieri e funzionari, come forse solo a Venezia ne esiste un’altra simile». In queste pagine si è tentato di offrire, attraverso un censimento complessivo di tipo territoriale e una catalogazione più specifica relativa alle chiese cittadine, una visione d’insieme di quel «ricco» patrimonio della scultura funeraria napoletana fra gli ultimi decenni del Quattrocento e i primi del Seicento. Sono stati oggetto di indagine i monumenti funebri e le lastre tombali, in particolare quelle che presentano l’effigie del defunto. Ad essi va però aggiunta un’altra tipologia funeraria, molto diffusa a Napoli, che è quella del sediale.
Si è partiti dal 1470, data incisa sul sepolcro di Diomede Carafa nel Cappellone del Crocifisso in San Domenico Maggiore: un monumento tipologicamente innovativo, che al momento della sua ideazione non trova simili nel contesto napoletano. La catalogazione è proseguita per Napoli fino al 1560, attenendoci al tracciato di De Stefano sulle epigrafi delle sepolture. Il censimento delle opere giunge invece fino al 1623, che è anche la data dell’ultima opera presa in considerazione, vale a dire il monumento Severino in Santa Maria la Nova, oggetto di uno studio più mirato nel successivo volume previsto per la primavera 2025, come spiegato da Letizia Gaeta nell’introduzione. Queste due date non sono casuali: la prima è l’anno in cui viene pubblicata la Descrittione dei luoghi sacri della citta di Napoli di Pietro de Stefano, il 1623 è invece l’anno in cui è data alle stampe, presso Ottavio Beltrano, la Napoli sacra di Cesare D’Engenio Caracciolo. È una scelta dettata dal voler affidarci nello specifico a due fonti letterarie coeve al periodo esaminato. In entrambe le opere l’interesse riservato alle sepolture è sottolineato sin dal frontespizio, dove si preannuncia la trascrizione degli epitaffi. Nella Napoli sacra è persino presente una «Tavola Delle Famiglie contenute ne’ Sepolchri». Partendo da qui, è possibile cogliere le differenze fra le due ‘guide sacre’ della città anche per il versante epigrafico. Un primo distinguo si può infatti riscontrare osservando il numero di sepolcri citati. (Dall'Introduzione alla Catalogazione del Patrimonio 1470-1623, di Giacomo Perrone

Effects of short light-dark regimes on in vitro shoot rooting of some fruit tree rootstocks
No full textExperiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of 4/2 light-dark cycles (4 h of light followed by 2 h of dark) on the rooting responses of shoots cultivated in vitro of the fruit tree rootstocks GF 677 (peach × almond hybrid), Mr.S. 2/5 (Prunus cerasifera), MM 106 (apple Nothern Spy × Paradise M1) and BA 29 (Cydonia oblonga). Under this light regime rooting percentage of GF 677, Mr.S. 2/5 and MM 106 shoots reached 100 % as in the control treatment (16/8), while in BA 29 shoots, short light-dark cycles increased rooting response by about 65 %. Moreover, the shoots of all rootstocks submitted to the 4/2 cycle showed an appreciable increase in root number and length, and an earlier root emergence of about 4 - 5 d compared to the 16/8 cycle. Finally, rooting percentage of BA 29 shoots submitted to the 4/2 light regime and treated with 0.2 mg dm-3 indolebutyric acid (IBA), was equal to that reported with 0.4 mg dm-3 IBA under the 16/8 regime, indicating that the former light regime also amplified the rhizogenic effect of auxin
Women Academics in England, 1870-1930
No full textBased on the author's dissertation, this article traces the development of the academic profession for women in England in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on women at Oxford, Cambridge and London universities. Unlike in the United States, where women's role in higher education expanded and then retracted during this period, British women slowly and steadily made inroads into this male-dominated profession.Peer reviewe

'To Save Them from the Dangers to their Faith’: Documenting Student Life at Catholic Women's Colleges
No full textThis article focuses on student life at Catholic women's colleges in the United States during the 20th century. These colleges helped acculturate many daughters of immigrants to middle-class American society, at the same time creating a specifically female and Catholic culture on college campuses. This evolving culture, which was characterized by the ideals of femininity, religion, and service, can be reconstructed through documentation from the college archives.Peer reviewe
‘A Well-Balanced Education’: Catholic Women’s Colleges in New Jersey, 1900-1970
No full textBy examining Catholic women's colleges in New Jersey during the period 1900-1970, this paper illustrates the complexity of developing a typology of Catholic women's colleges in the United States. The first Catholic women's college in New Jersey, College of Saint Elizabeth was established in 1899 by the Sisters of Charity; followed by Mount St. Mary's, later known as Georgian Court College, in 1908; Caldwell College in 1939; and Felician, originally a junior college, in 1967. Earlier typologies of Catholic women's colleges have divided them into elite liberal arts institutions and local, vocationally-oriented colleges which served the working and lower-middle-class daughters of immigrants. Using college catalogs and yearbooks from the four New Jersey colleges, this study compiles data on curriculum, the education of faculty, college costs, and student origins, and compares it to similar data from two elite colleges, Trinity in Washington, D.C. and Manhattanville in Purchase, New York. In spite of some pressure to offer vocational courses and the challenge of giving women religious faculty members the opportunity to pursue doctoral degrees, during this period New Jersey's Catholic women's colleges provided a Catholic liberal arts education for white middle-class women not unlike that offered at better known and more prestigious colleges. Only after 1970 did social and demographic changes begin to have an impact on the curriculum and student population of this sector of Catholic higher education.Peer reviewe
Gone and Forgotten? New Jersey's Catholic Junior Colleges
No full textIn the late 1960s, New Jersey had eleven seemingly-thriving Catholic junior colleges; by the mid-1970s, all but one of these colleges had closed. This article analyzes why these institutions appeared and disappeared so quickly, and explores what contribution they made to Catholic higher education. While private junior colleges declined throughout the U.S. during this period, in some respects the situation of New Jersey was unique. Research suggests that the greatest contribution these short-lived institutions made was to the education of women religious.Peer reviewe
Vanished Worlds: Searching for the Records of Closed Catholic Women’s Colleges
No full textThis article presents the results of a survey of the archives of 36 Roman Catholic women's colleges that have closed or merged with other institutions since 1967. The majority of these archives are held by the women's religious communities that originally sponsored the colleges, although about one third are held by universities. These archives are rich resources on the history of women, education, religion, and culture that to some degree have been neglected by scholars who have focused on the history of colleges that are still open. As well as suggesting avenues for future research, this article contributes to the literature on how archives can cope with the voluminous records of twentieth-century institutions, and to emerging scholarship on the relationship of archives and memory. The survey upon which it is based revealed certain limitations on preservation, access, and use of these archives, so the article concludes with recommendations on how to make them more visible.Peer reviewe
