Mishle he-‘arav:La tradición sapiencial hebrea en la Península Ibérica y Provenza, s. XII y XIII
No full textEste libro explora la obra Mishle he-‘arav [Los dichos de los árabes], un texto sapiencial en hebreo, probablemente escrito en Provenza en la primera mitad del siglo XIII. Sus cincuenta capítulos contienen secciones en prosa, poemas de estilo andalusí y grupos de versículos bíblicos. El lugar y la fecha de composición son inciertos, pero el autor, cuya identidad también se desconoce, dice que traduce la obra del árabe. Hasta el momento no se cuenta ni con una edición crítica de los manuscritos hebreos, ni con una traducción a alguna lengua occidental, ni con un estudio amplio del Mishle he-‘arav, que sólo es mencionado brevemente en historias generales de la literatura hebrea medieval o analizado parcialmente en estudios que se centran en un aspecto particular de la obra. Esto constituye una llamativa laguna en nuestro conocimiento de la literatura hebrea medieval, laguna que este libro tiene la intención de remediar
De vino, viajes y sabiduría: musar y adab en la Sefarad medieval
Get PDFThis article was written as part of the research project «Legado de Sefarad: la producción
material e intelectual del judaísmo sefardí bajomedieval, 3ª Parte» (PID2019-104219GB-100),
funded by the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación.This article focuses on three Hebrew narrative
works written in medieval Sepharad: Yosef
ibn Zabarah’s Sefer ša‘ašu‘im [The book of
delights], Yehudah al-Ḥarizi’s Sefer taḥkemoni
[The book of Taḥkemoni], and Mišle he-‘araḇ
[The sayings of the Arabs], by one Yiṣḥaq haQaṭan. It takes their chapters on wine, traveling, and wisdom as a point of departure for
examining the genre of musar or traditional
ethical literature. It also reveals the multifaceted nature and function that this Hebrew
genre acquired in the medieval period thanks
to its contact with the Arabic tradition and in
the context of the wide geographic diffusion
of adab literature.Este artículo se centra en tres obras hebreas
en prosa escritas en la Sefarad medieval: Sefer ša‘ašu‘im [Libro de los entretenimientos]
de Yosef ibn Zabarah, Sefer taḥkemoni [El
libro de Taḥkemoni] de Yehudah al-Ḥarizi y
Mišle he-‘araḇ [Los dichos de los árabes] de
un tal Yiṣḥaq ha-Qaṭan. El artículo toma los
capítulos sobre el vino, los viajes y la sabiduría como punto de partida para examinar el
género de musar o literatura ética tradicional,
poner de manifiesto la multiplicidad de funciones que tiene este género hebreo en época
medieval y explicarlo gracias al contacto con
la tradición árabe y en el contexto de la amplia

Sefer ha-Pardes by Jedaiah ha-Penini
Get PDFThis groundbreaking new work is the first full critical edition and English translation of the Hebrew book Sefer ha-Pardes [The Book of the Orchard], written at the end of the thirteenth century by the Provençal Jewish author Jedaiah ha-Penini. It is purportedly an example of musar: a compilation of wise epigrams and meshalim [parables] that teach moral lessons on different topics, such as the service of God, friendship, the deceitfulness of the world, medicine, logic, music, magic, and poetry. However, it is in reality a compendium of sayings that reveal the author’s personal views and feelings on a variety of religious topics, secular sciences, and their practitioners.
David Torollo presents a fluent and illuminating English-Hebrew parallel text based on four sixteenth-century witnesses: three manuscripts and a printed edition. A rigorous study accompanies and contextualises the Hebrew work, exploring Sefer ha-Pardes’s transmission and reception in different places over time; its structure and content; its place in the intellectual environment and literary tradition of Provence; and possible lines of enquiry for future research.
This essential new work offers a significant contribution to scholarship in the field of Medieval Hebrew Hispano-Provencal literature
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
