Le epistole prefatorie e il titolo del Martyrologium Hieronymianum
No full textThe prefatory epistles, the only proper narrative part of the Martyrologium Hieronymianum, have generally been overlooked by critics. Nevertheless, this text, which has had a wide diffusion and an autonomous tradition, has played a fundamental role in defining the pseudo-Geronimian work and even constituiting is title in a - probably short - phase of its tradition. Through an analysis of the contents of the letters, compared with the testimonies of Gregory the Great, of Cassiodous and specially of Bede, who is the first witness of the lemma martyrologium and also the first author to use the word martyrologium to refer to the Martyrologium heronymianum. This contribution traces a part of the possible path that the work took in the course of its long and obscure tradition between Italy and Northern England
Note su Agapio, autore dell’ Eptalogo
No full textStarting from the literary reconstruction that Photius offers, the present paper focuses on the character of Agapius and his doctrine.In the Bibliotheca (chap. 179) the patriarch mentions Agapius, defining him an impious man and attributing to him a work, composed of twenty-three treatises and some other chapters. Photius informs that in this writing the author pretends to profess the Christian faith, but, in reality, he reveals himself to be an enemy of Christ; however, he does not specify the title of the work of which the summary is reported.The patriarch also remembers Agapius in his Contra Manichaeos (50), equating him to a disciple of Mani, as well as identifying him as the author of the Heptalogue.The paper relates the information provided by Photius, which appears to be discordant in reference to the era in which the character would have lived, with those coming from other ancient sources. In doing so, the present paper pursues the attempt to identify the elements that allow Agapius to be placed in the history of the Christiandoctrine
Il metodo ecdotico di Quentin: gli Essais de critique textuelle (Ecdotique)
No full textHenri Quentin, historian and hagiographer, was also the creator of an innovative philological method based on principles of mechanism and objectivity. The first exposition of the method was published in the 1922 Mémoire sur l’établissement du texte de la Vulgate. Quentin’s method was used under the author’s supervision only in two cases: the edition of the Octateuch of the Vulgate and the commented edition of the Martyrologium Hieronymianum. The system has been bitterly contested since its first appearance. Quentin, intimately convinced of the goodness of his philological method, to defend himself from the criticisms received after the publication of the Mémoire..., published the Essais de Critique
textuelle (Ecdotique), that contain the most complete attempt of formalization of the method by its author. The work had an effect opposite to that sought: the dormant criticism was renewed, and the condemnation of the method was expressed without appeal. The Quentin’s method was never affirmed, nevertheless its author could count on admirers, followers and epigones. This contribution traces the debate that took place around the Quentin ecdotic system and the reasons that led to its condemnation from the publication of Essais in 1926 to the death of its author in 1935
La 'catabasi' di Gerolamo e i labirinti della sua memoria (in Ezech. 12,40,5-13)
No full textTaking into account St Jerome’s Commentary on Ezechiel 12, 5-13 and the Preface to his last book, the contribution proposes an analysis of the multiple intertextual references, especially Virgilian ones, which explain the profound meaning of the youthful recollection of Jerome’s Sunday walks in the Roman catacombs. Several liminal images overlap in the memory interlace of the exegete: the entrance to the Cretan labyrinth with its darkness, the entrance of the Sibyl’s cave, the descent of Aeneas into Hades, the prophetic vision of the Temple, revealed to Ezekiel, with its intricate suites of rooms
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
La figura di Giobbe nell'omiletica basiliana.
No full textThe essay explores how Job was used in homilies pronounced and written by Basil of Caesarea. In Homily 21 (On Detachment from Wordly Goods) a long paraphrastic rewriting of the biblical account shows the virtue of patience embodied by the patriarch. In Homily 4 (On Thanksgiving), Basil reminds his listeners to be strong in grief and not to lose faith in God, according to the example offerred by Job. The bishop depicts a model of perfection and endurance to Christian people, though we can't properly speak of literal or allegorical exegesis, but rather of a moral and hortatory one
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
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
