Mauro Boni: collezionismo, erudizione e falsificazione a Venezia tra Sette e Ottocento
No full textMorto a Reggio Emilia dopo un lungo soggiorno veneziano presso il palazzo Giustiniani Recanati alle Zattere, il cremonese Mauro Boni (1746-1817) ebbe la lungimiranza di portare con sé non solo molti di quei libri che nel corso di decenni aveva appassionatamente raccolto e conservato, ma anche quella che per noi è la testimonianza più viva della sua attività: l’epistolario. Esso si affianca e si intreccia con una molteplicità di carte e studi che lo impegnarono lungo tutto il corso della sua esistenza. Seppur da più parti emergesse il ruolo centrale dell’abate Boni nelle dinamiche antiquarie della Venezia di primo Ottocento la critica non si era mai spinta ad indagarne a tutto tondo e in maniera sistematica la personalità, confinandolo ingiustamente nell’ambito dell’indeterminatezza Molte tappe fondamentali della sua vicenda biografica restavano infatti ancora incerte, al pari di svariati aspetti della sua attività di studioso e conoscitore. Nondimeno rimaneva fondamentale la necessità di ricostruirne in termini concreti ed esaustivi la rete di corrispondenze nelle cui maglie dovevano essere celate le dinamiche peculiari della sua attività di collezionista e mercante d’arte, che in questa sede ci si propone d’indagare specificamente. Da qui l’esigenza di un approfondimento che partisse dall’indagine delle migliaia di carte a lui appartenute (circa 3.000 pezzi), conservate tra l’Archivio di Stato e la Biblioteca Municipale “A. Panizzi” di Reggio Emilia, città in cui il Boni morì. Dopo una breve descrizione dei fondi, della tipologia dei materiali e dopo alcune riflessioni preliminari sui corrispondenti (Cap. I), ci si è soffermati sulla ricostruzione del profilo biografico del Boni, che in questa occasione è stato possibile precisare e integrare con inedite testimonianze documentarie rintracciate anche presso l’Archivio parrocchiale di Mozzanica e l’Archivio di Stato di Milano, la piccola comunità lombarda che gli diede i natali (Cap. II). L’impegno letterario e, più in generale, i poliedrici interessi eruditi sono stati affrontati con l’obiettivo di mettere in evidenza non solo i flussi intellettuali del gesuita ma cercando di non perdere di vista il fil rouge che legò la sua attività di studioso con gli affari antiquari, esigenza primaria di questo approfondimento (Cap. III). L’attività collezionistica e mercantile è stata affrontata nel IV capitolo, all’interno del quale, dopo un inquadramento generale sulle possibili relazioni e meccanismi operativi, si è ritenuto di porre in evidenza alcune significative vicende di mercato.
Al capitolo V, infine, è riservata l’appendice documentaria. La parte più cospicua della sezione è costituita – come già anticipato - dai copiosi carteggi, selezionati secondo criteri discussi nel corso del primo capitolo. Ad essi sono stati accostati sia i documenti provenienti dall’Archivio Parrocchiale di Mozzanica e dall’Archivio di Stato di Milano, sia la biografia manoscritta compilata da Francesco Cancellieri, anch’essa inedita tra le carte della Biblioteca Municipale di Reggio Emilia. Ciò che è emerso alla fine della ricerca è il profilo di un poliedrico personaggio molto attivo nell’ambito del collezionismo e della falsificazione artistica a Venezia tra XVIII e XIX secolo, esponente emblematico di una categoria che per molti aspetti attende ancora di essere definita criticamente.Mauro Boni (1746-1817) died in Reggio Emilia after a long stay in Venice in the Giustinian Recanati delle Zattere Palace. He had the long view to takewiter him not only his many books he collected kept for a long time but also wath is considered the deep statement of his job. The letters.
The critic ricognized to abbot Boni his main role in the dinamics of anciant trade withaut analyzing his personality. Mani steps of his personality, his life and his resercher role had to be investigated get. Morover it was important to clarify the relationship he had with the man off learning. It was therefore necessary to furter investigations starting from the his many letters (3000 pc. z.a) that werw kept in the State Archive and Municipal Library “A. Panizzi” in Reggio Emilia, city where abbot Boni died.
After a short description of the type of materials and after some preliminary reflections on the corrispondents (chapter 1), there is a biographical profile of Boni (chapter 2). Chapter 3 is described putting in relationship the literary production with the merchant affaires of Boni. His collecting and mercantile activity is descrived in the chapter 4 in wich it is to face some important events.
In chapter 5 there is the documentary appendix.
Mauro Boni (1746-1817) died in Reggio Emilia after a long stay in Venice in the Giustinian Recanati delle Zattere Palace. He had the long view to take with him not only his many books he collected kept for a long time but also what is considered the deep statement of his job: the letters.
The critic recognized to abbot Boni his main role in the dinamics of anciant trade without analyzing his personality. Many steps of his personality, his life and his researcher role had to be investigated yet. Moreover it was important to clarify the relationship he had with the men of learning. It was therefore necessary to further investigations starting from the his many letters (3000 pc. z.a) that were kept in the State Archive and Municipal Library “A. Panizzi” in Reggio Emilia, city where abbot Boni died.
After a short description of the type of materials and after some preliminary reflections on the corrispondents (chapter 1), there is a biographical profile of Boni (chapter 2). Chapter 3 is described putting in relationship the literary production with the merchant affaires of Boni. His collecting and mercantile activity is described in chapter 4 in wich it is to face some emblematic events.
In chapter 5 there is the documentary appendix.
At the end of the research the multifaceted profile of Boni is emerged. He can be considered a very active man in the collecting and falsification of artworks in Venice between 18th and 19th century and an emblematic rapresentative of art merchants that should be deep know from critics

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
