    Un canone «giambico» per Basilio di Cesarea e la circoncisione del Signore e il suo raffinato acrostico tetrastico fra critica filologico-letteraria e teologia

    No full text
    Despite the criticism expressed by its first editor (Antonio Rocchi), the anonymous “iambic” canon for 1 January (feasts of the Circumcision of the Lord and of Basil of Caesarea) seems to be one of the best Byzantine liturgical hymns written in dodecasyllables. In this paper, after dealing with the manuscript tradition of the canon (of which Rocchi knew only one defective witness), the author analyzes its refined tetrastich acrostic, consisting in a couple of elegiac distichs formed by the initials of all the lines of the hymn, and discusses its uncertain authorship

    Canoni «giambici» d’epoca bizantina e postbizantina. Un’‘isola’ nella produzione innografica della chiesa greca

    In the first part of the paper, the author analyses the Sicilian reception of the rare innographical genre in classical style represented by the canons in Byzantine dodecasyllables, which were composed particularly by Theophanes (of Sicily?), Methodios of Syracuse, Eugenios of Palermo; instead, the second part is dedicated to the isolated, but interesting, production of «iambic» canons in post-Byzantine era at the hands of Manuel Korinthios, Nicholas Mavrocordatos, George Chrysogonos Trapezountios, Gerasimos Ioannoulis, John Hierosolymos, Antonio Rocchi

    Lo στρατοπεδάρχης Μουσιλίκης nella Vita Ιgnatii di Niceta David Paflagone

    The article deals with the “strategos” of Sicily Mousilikes, protagonist of one of the miracula post mortem reported in the Life of the Constantinopolitan patriarch Ignatius ascribed to Niketas-David Paphlagon. The author of this article critically analyzes the assimilation, first affirmed by Michele Amari, between the above episode and a historical event which is mentioned only in an Arab source, reconstructing the career of the homonymous historical figure, who is mentioned in documentary and sigillographic sources: he suggests that this particular episode of the Ignatian Bios may be the result of a conscious slight distortion of an historical event by Niketas-David Paphlagon for his own ideological purposes

    A web application for hydrogeomorphic flood hazard mapping

    No full text
    A detailed delineation of flood-prone areas over large regions represents a challenge that cannot be easily solved with today's resources. The main limitations lie in algorithms and hardware, but also costs, scarcity and sparsity of data and our incomplete knowledge of how inundation events occur in different river floodplains. We showcase the implementation of a data-driven web application for regional analyses and detailed (i.e., tens of meters) mapping of floodplains, based on (a) the synthesis of hydrogeomorphic features into a morphological descriptor and (b) its classification to delineate flood-prone areas. We analysed the skill of the descriptor and the performance of the mapping method for European rivers. The web application can be effectively used for delineating flood-prone areas, reproducing the reference flood maps with a classification skill of 88.59% for the 270 major river basins analysed across Europe and 84.23% for the 64 sub-catchments of the Po River

    Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion with Percutaneous Bilateral Pedicle Screw Fixation for Lumbosacral Spine Degenerative Diseases. A retrospective database of 40 consecutive treated cases and literature review

    To report our results about minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF) with bilateral pedicle screw fixation, in patients with degenerative lumbosacral spine disease. To describe the indications, surgical technique and results of a consecutive series of 40 patients undergone MI-TLIF. Despite the limited number of clinical studies, published data suggest tremendous potential advantages of this technique

    Studio analitico (filologico e paleografico) dei testimoni manoscritti (a quelli in precedenza già noti l'autore aggiunge i codici Vaticani Barb. gr. 358 e Vat. gr. 2046), che tramandano il semestre invernale di una fra le più antiche recensioni del Sinassario di Costantinopoli, la cosiddetta recensio B*, volto a indagarne i rapporti esistenti col capostipite della recensio, il famosissimo libro miniato eseguito per Basilio II Bulgaroctono trasmesso nel ms. Vat. gr. 1613.Analytical study (philological and paleographic) of the manuscript witnesses (the author adds the Vatican codices Barb. gr. 358 and Vat gr. 2046 to those previously known), which hand down the winter semester of one of the earliest recensiones of the Synaxarion of Constantinople, the so-called B * recensio. This study aims to investigate the existing relations between these witnesses and the founder of the recensio, i.e. the famous illuminated book realized for Basil II "the Bulgar-slayer " handed on by the manuscript Vat gr. 1613
