The Early Manuscripts of San Salvatore de Lingua in Messina (Mid-12th Century): Surveying the Chief Decorator
No full textThe monastery of Holy Savior has been the subject of much scholarship, but the liturgical reform requested by King Roger II of Sicily and carried out by the first archimandrite, Luke of Rossano, and the latter’s struggle to establish seemly equipment, has been largely neglected. Given its potential relevance for the material setting of the monastery’s early manuscript collection through the middle of the twelfth century, this seems an oversight. Art historians have repeatedly claimed that the monastery’s lofty status could have enabled the spread of Byzantine models to Norman Sicily, especially in relation to figurative arts and manuscript decoration. This paper discusses the same assumption from the opposite perspective. It explores the main tendencies of manuscript decoration at San Salvatore based on the extant evidence from the monastery’s early collection. Building on the paleographical and codicological observations provided in the past decades (mostly by philologists), I examine the manuscripts in terms of decorative practice and artistic culture
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
L’igumeno Theostíriktos e il franco Girardo ai Ss. Pietro e Paolo di Agrò
No full textLa chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo di Agrò è stata lungamente attribuita all'inizio del XII secolo. L'articolo ridiscute questa cronologia, ricostruendo il quadro storico messinese verso il 1170 e trovando ragioni plausibili per una datazione dell'edificio in questi anni, argomentando tale proposta sulla base dei caratteri architettonici tuttora apprezzabili
Phialai in marmo per la famiglia monastic rossano-messinese
No full textAlcuni recipienti marmorei confezionati dalla bottega facente capo al lapicida Gandolfo mostrano caratteri comuni, discussi all'interno dell'articolo: consistono della rilavorazione di spoglie antiche, mostrano un analogo repertorio decorativo e sono spesso contraddistinti dall'inseramento di epigrafi votive
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Linking the Living with the Otherworld: the Imperial Frontespieces of Speyer Codex Aureus and Gertrude's St. Peter in Egbert's Psalter
Full text linkBonding is recognized as a peculiar property of the arts aging in Medieval societies, this is also true in a more spiritualized sense.This paper investigates the intervention of Greek-Byzantine painters in two eleventh-century Western manuscripts: the mid-eleventh century Speyer Codex Aureus and Egbert’s Psalter, specifically the folia gertrudiana. The former is hinting to the glorified appearance of the ones to whom the earthly Kingdom/Empire and the sovereigns’ eternal life was bounded. As for the latter, St. Peter catalyses the pleas and expectations of Gertrude, working as a powerful link between the living and the dead
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Il legame tra i vivi e l’Aldilà: i frontespizi imperiali del Codex Aureus di Spira e il san Pietro di Gertrude nel Salterio di Egberto

Il presente lavoro indaga l’intervento dei pittori greco-bizantini in due manoscritti occidentali dell’XI secolo: il Codex Aureus di Spira, della metà dell’XI secolo, e il Salterio di Egberto, in particolare i folia gertrudiana. Il primo allude alla glorificazione di coloro ai quali era legato il Regno/Impero terreno e la vita eterna dei sovrani. Nel secondo caso, san Pietro catalizza le suppliche e le aspettative di Gertrude, operando come un potente collegamento tra i vivi e i morti
