Questo volume offre al lettore la possibilità di uno sguardo nuovo (e forse inaspettato) su Roma e sul suo patrimonio di storia, cultura e sapienza. Rende fruibile, quantomeno parzialmente, la fatale frammentarietà della narrazione di Roma, illustrata con esemplari immagini fotografiche affiancate da brevi didascalie, talora da quegli aneddoti peculiari dell’arguzia del popolo romano che implementano gli stimoli della fantasia ... quasi che, di volta in volta, l’affascinante congerie urbana fosse percepita osservandola attraverso il foro della serratura. In questa inafferrabilità dell’intero insiste l’aporia di una metropoli che diviene orizzonte intrascendibile e inabbracciabile del nostro immaginario. Nel quale coltiviamo ancora la speranza che Roma, se non più raggiungibile nella sua sostanza, sia almeno evocabile nell’enigma dei suoi segni riposti. Questo gioco di rimandi e di slittamenti continui del senso è quanto il volume suggerisce, invitando infine il lettore a ricomporne uno suo, più ricco e complesso. This work offers a new (and probably unexpected) vision of Rome, together with its historical and cultural heritage. It renders vivid, at least partially, ...

Biannual Magazine of the Department of History, Drawing and Restoration of Architecture | Dopo una prima formazione da ingegnere, che mi ha insegnato l’importanza dei disegni tecnici per la costruzione, lo studio dell’architettura mi ha disvelato l’importanza degli aspetti metafisici e immateriali del progetto e sono rimasto intrigato da come certi concetti astratti possano essere espressi graficamente. Ho imparato che il nostro occhio interiore coglie molto più di quello che effettivamente è visibile in piante, sezioni e prospetti perché produce nel nostro cervello un oggetto tridimensionale. Ho appreso l’arte di disegnare un oggetto nell’illusione delle tre dimensioni in proiezione assonometrica o prospettica, ma volevo scoprire come queste proiezioni potessero veicolare idee astratte come spazio, tempo, movimento e profondità. | While my initial training as an engineer taught me the significance of technical drawings, studying architecture revealed the importance of the metaphysical and immaterial aspects of design, making me curious about how to graphically express certain abstract concepts. I discovered that our inner eye captures much more than what we actually ...

This book is a useful knowledge tool for all those who intend to study the Italian arbitration system in depth, with reference to the regulations and laws currently in force, both within a national and an international framework. The relatively short size of the book is justified by intention to provide an overview of the system, along with a carefully selected list of references of the doctrine and the case law, starting from general notions, then dealing with more specific issues, step by step. It starts from arbitration conventions, followed by the appointment of arbitrators; then the various phases of the arbitration procedure are discussed and commented on, highlighting in particular the taking of evidence, and an emphasis is given to subjective complications of the proceedings. The final section of the book deals with arbitration awards, their review and the recognition and enforcement of foreign awards in Italy. A chapter is dedicated to the delicate relation between arbitration and trial before an Italian judge. To provide and complete the view of arbitration in Italy, the annexes at the end of the book report an non-official translation of the articles of the Italian Code ...

This book brings together new and original work by forty two of the world's leading scholars of Indo-European comparative philology and linguistics from around the world. It shows the breadth and the continuing liveliness of enquiry in an area which over the last century and a half has opened many unique windows on the civilizations of the ancient world. The volume is a tribute to Anna Morpurgo Davies to mark her retirement as the Diebold Professor of Comparative Philology at the University of Oxford. The book's six parts are concerned with the early history of Indo-European (Part I); language use, variation, and change in ancient Greece and Anatolia (Parts II and III); the Indo-European languages of Western Europe, including Latin, Welsh, and Anglo-Saxon (Part IV); the ancient Indo-Iranian and Tocharian languages (Part V); and the history of Indo-European linguistics (Part VI). Indo-European Perspectives will interest scholars and students of Indo-European philology, historical linguistics, classics, and the history of the ancient world.

La notion d'Etat et celle de bien commun apparaissent aujourd'hui en constante confrontation du point de vue de leur finalité. Certes, le concept d'Etat naît avec la Modernité alors que celui du bien commun existe déjà dans l'Antiquité. Les rapports qu'ils entretiennent actuellement ne sont toutefois pas sans rappeler les questions éthiques autour de la notion de bonum commune qui se posent depuis la formation de la société publique. Cet ouvrage invite à reprendre cette discussion dans un cadre pluridisciplinaire (philosophie, histoire, théologie, économie, droit, politique, médecine). Il met l'accent sur les questions philosophiques de l'utilisation de doctrines politiques du bien, de l'engagement social, des droits de l'homme, mais aussi de l'appréciation éthique quant aux modifications génétiques de l'être humain. Les textes ici exposés constituent une tentative de retrouver un lien substantiel entre Etat et bien commun en proposant aux chercheurs et aux scientifiques d'assumer une responsabilité déontologique, conformément à leur mission au sein de la société.

La questione del potenziamento, insieme di tecniche biomediche utilizzate per modificare e/o potenziare il normale funzionamento del corpo umano, è oggetto di approfonditi studi accademici. Anche il Centro Cattolico di Bioetica dell'Arcidiocesi di Torino, perseguendo i suoi fini statutari, si è interessato dell’argomento e ha costituito un gruppo di studio che ha condotto per mesi la ricerca che ora proponiamo ai lettori. Il testo è suddiviso in due parti. La prima ha l’obiettivo di studiare il fenomeno. La seconda lo analizza dal punto di vista filosofico, giuridico e teologico e ne coglie le ricadute bioetiche.

This collection of essays honors Alexander Gordon McKay, one of the most respected names in Vergilian studies. Written by some of the world's leading scholars, the essays offer new perspectives on the larger Vergilian world which Dr. McKay's scholarship has so richly illuminated. The Two Worlds of the Poet focuses primarily on Vergil and Augustan literature and art, with several essays that expand the Vergilian theme and reflect the wide research interests of Professor McKay in such areas of classical studies as literature, art, architecture, painting, and sculpture. Vergil's world presents two faces, each inseparable from the other-the world which formed the poet and the world which the poet himself created--and it is proper that a volume which commemorates a scholar whose own work has elucidated both of these worlds should address itself to each. Several essays examine the poet's modus creandi--his use of the simile; his assimilation of the language and motifs of Roman comic drama; his exploitation of the rich store of Greek, Etruscan, and Roman mythological, legendary, and historical material; and his treatment of a variety of themes which touch upon the very essence of the...

L'ars dictaminis, ensemble de techniques de rédaction latines créées entre 1070 et 1250 pour répondre aux nouveaux besoins de la société médiévale, jouit depuis deux décennies d'un regain d'attention notable. Art rhétorique cultivé par les différentes autorités ecclésiastiques et laïques durant la plus grande partie du bas Moyen Âge, l'ars a profité de l'intérêt accru pour l'histoire des techniques de communication. Peut-on dire pour autant que l'étude de ce courant central de l'écriture médiolatine est réellement sortie d'un enclavement séculaire? Non. Dans une volonté de décentrer l'étude de l'ars dictaminis de l'approche strictement théorique pour envisager l'ensemble des problèmes que ce champ d'étude pose à l'histoire médiévale, le colloque a affronté collectivement l'ensemble des questions posées par l'ars dictandi, en tentant à la fois de faire le bilan des avancées effectuées ces dernières décennies, et de préciser les perspectives de recherche. [4 ème de couverture].

"The volume brings together a collection of essays on Jewish-related subjects to celebrate Emanuela Trevisan Semi's career and research authored by some former students, friends and colleagues on the occasion of her retirement. Drawing upon the many academic interests and research of Trevisan Semi, one of the most important European scholars of Jewish and Israel Studies, the volume discusses the diversity of Jewish culture both in the diaspora and in Israel. The contributors here wrote their pieces understanding Jewish culture as inscribed in a set of different, yet interrelated, homelands and diasporas, depending on the time and space we refer to, and what this means for communities and individuals living in places as different as West Africa, Poland, Morocco, and Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. At the same time, they discuss the notion of diaspora as being crucial in the formation of the Jewish cultural identity both before and after the birth of the State of Israel."

The successive sets of Studia Patristica contain papers delivered at the International Conferences on Patristic Studies, which meet for a week once every four years in Oxford. These papers range over the whole field, both East and West, from the second century to a section on the Nachleben of the Fathers. The majority are short papers dealing with some small and manageable point; they raise and sometimes resolve questions about the authenticity of documents, dates of events, and such like, and some unveil new texts. The longer papers put such matters into context and indicate wider trends. The whole reflects the state of Patristic scholarship and demonstrates the vigour and popularity of the subject.
