    Mira varietas lectionum

    No full text
    Con l’espressione mira varietas lectionum si suole indicare, già a partire dalla filologia del Settecento, la straordinaria ricchezza di varianti nella tradizione di un testo antico; se da un lato l’aggettivo mirus tradisce un certo stupore e quasi un fastidio per l’eccessivo proliferare delle lezioni, dall’altro acquisisce il senso positivo dello straordinario guadagno di conoscenze che ne ricaviamo. La miscellanea, nata dalla volontà di restituire al testo e alla sua storia questa ricchezza culturale, raccoglie contributi incentrati sull’idea di una filologia concepita quale studio della tradizione, fortemente devota al valore della ricostruzione concreta e minuta come mezzo che illumini frammenti del passato e stimoli a rinnovare sempre le nostre credenze. Il volume comprende dodici saggi che spaziano dalla tradizione diretta, con particolare attenzione ai codici bizantini quali testimoni del lavoro esegetico ed ecdotico dei dotti nel corso del tempo, a quella indiretta, fino all’analisi letteraria, volta a sondare le possibilità interpretative della lettura dei testi antichi in prospettiva intertestuale. In open access sul sito della BUP - Basilicata University Press.From the 17th century philology, the formula mira varietas lectionum refers to the extraordinary quantity of readings in the tradition of ancient texts; the adjective mirus expresses both the excessive proliferation of readings and, in a more positive sense, the paramount acquisition of knowledge about history and transmission of texts. The study of the mira varietas is a fundamental instrument for editing texts, tracing their circulation in antiquity, inquiring their fortune and reception and finally considering how they are reinterpreted in the modern scholarship. The miscellany, devoted to this methodological approach, collects works focused on the idea of philology stands primarly as critical and attentive study of the textual tradition which aims to shed light on the past and stimulate the progress of our knowledge. The volume includes twelve essays covering all areas of philological studies: direct tradition, with particular attention to Byzantine manuscripts as testimonia of exegetical and ecdotic works of ancient philologists, indirect transmission, and literary analysis aimed at exploring new possible interpretations of ancient texts according to an intertextual approach

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Elio Dionisio, Syn.B ed Eustazio

    No full text
    This study attempts to clarify the relationship between the Synagoge -lexicon and the quotations, found in Eustathios’ Commentaries, of many glosses attributed by Erbse to Aelius Dionysius. Eustathios may have used an expanded and now lost version of the Synagoge, which he named ῥητορικὸν λεξικόν; it is therefore possible to infer that Eustathios’ ῥητορικὸν λεξικόν encompasses not only those of Aelius Dionysius and Pausanias, as Erbse assumed

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    Full text link
    We 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

    Full text link
    We 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
