Una variante testuale in Agostino, «De trinitate» VIII, 1 e le sue implicazioni circa la struttura dell'opera
open1L'articolo difende la variante 'tractabimus' nel testo di Agostino, «De trinitate» VIII, 1 rispetto alla lezione 'tractavimus' preferita nell'edizione del «Corpus Christianorum» e spiega quali implicazioni essa abbia nella comprensione della struttura dell'intera opera.openGiovanni CatapanoCatapano, Giovann

Hannah Arendt e Hans Jonas interpreti del concetto agostiniano di volontĂ
The paper compares chapter 6 of H. Arendtâs The Life of the Mind with H. Jonasâs first
book, concerning Augustine and the Pauline Problem of Freedom. Arendt follows Jonasâs
interpretation of st Paulâs Epistle to the Romans, ch. 7, but her judgment on st Augustineâs
relationship with Paul is quite different. According to Jonas, during the Pelagian controversy
Augustine lost the Pauline concept of the antinomical nature of the will; in Arendtâs
opinion, on the contrary, Augustine was the first one who stated Paulâs âdiscoveryâ of the
will in philosophical terms, and in the City of God he realized the principle of ânatalityâ,
which is the real solution to the problem of freedom both in anthropology and politics
La giustificazione dei provvedimenti antidonatisti di Costantino nel primo libro del Contra epistulam Parmeniani di Agostino
This paper analyses the arguments that Augustine of Hippo gives in the first book of his work Contra epistulam Parmeniani with the aim of justifying Constantine the Greatâs measures against the Donatists. Although these arguments are probably preceded in time by similar remarks in the second book of Augustineâs Contra litteras Petiliani, they represent the first organic statement of Augustineâs defense of the emperorâs right to judge about religious matters and to persecute schismatics and heretics. This paper suggests that Augustine never changed his mind about such a right in principle, but only about its practical usefulness for settling religious disputes
Una variante testuale in Agostino, De trinitate, VIII, 1 e le sue implicazioni circa la struttura dellâopera
The article argues for the variant âtractabimusâ in Book 8, ch. 1 of Augustineâs De Trinitate as opposed to the reading âtractavimusâ adopted in the Corpus Christianorum edition, and explains the implications of this variant for the understanding of the overall structure of the work
Lâanalogia dellâessere. Testi antichi e medievali
Il volume contiene i testi piĂč significativi relativamente alla nascita e allo sviluppo della dottrina dellâanalogia dellâessere. I passi sono riportati a fronte con traduzioni originali annotate e sono raccolti in due sezioni: quella di filosofia antica e tardoantica e quella di filosofia medievale araba e latina. La prima sezione comprende i principali testi aristotelici che della dottrina dellâanalogia dellâessere hanno costituito lâorigine, e i passi fra i piĂč rilevanti della tradizione commentaristica antica e tardoantica, da Alessandro di Afrodisia (II-III sec. d.C) a Simplicio di Cilicia (VI sec. d.C.), nei quali Ăš possibile individuare le prime fasi dello sviluppo di tale dottrina. La sezione di filosofia medievale araba e latina comprende passi scelti dei filosofi che rappresentano le tappe essenziali dello sviluppo della dottrina dellâanalogia dellâessere nel medioevo arabo e latino, da al-FÄrÄbÄ« (m. 950 c.) a Tommaso dâAquino (XIII sec.) a Tommaso de Vio, il âGaetanoâ (XV-XVI sec.)

GPR and microwave tomography for the assessment of hollowed tree trunks
The danger related to the structural stability of hollowed trees is a matter of wide discussion among the scientific community. Hollow cores in trees can extend to more than 50% of the total diameter [1] and, while the presence of a hollow tree might appear dramatic in terms of public safety, it is not always a cause of concern. It is known that hollow trees can form in many years or even decades [2] and, although the heartwood is effectively dead, the tree can continue to form sapwood on the exterior of the trunk to create a cylinder. However, robustness and structural support provided by this cylinder to the trunk and canopy above depend on the ratio of healthy to diseased tissue. In this context, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) has proven to be an effective non-invasive tool, capable of generating information about the inner structure of tree trunks in terms of existence, location, and geometry of defects [3], [4]. Nevertheless, it had been observed that the currently available and known GPR-related processing and data interpretation methods and tools are able to provide only limited information on the tree inner structure. In this study, we present a microwave tomographic approach for improved GPR data processing with the aim of detecting and characterising the geometry of hollowed trees. Tests were performed at Gunnesbury Park, London, UK. In particular, a number of 15 circular measurements were collected around the tree using the Aladdin 2 GHz hand-held antenna system manufactured by IDS GeoRadar (Part of Hexagon), covering a height of 140 cm. The tree was eventually felled and three sections were cut for validation purposes. Results presented in this abstract are part of a major research project that the authors have undertaken for the last three years
