Amici complici amanti: Eurialo e Niso nelle Interpretationes Vergilianae di Tiberio Claudio Donato

In questa relazione, l’autore mette a confronto due commentari antichi, quello di Servio e quello di Donato sul libro V e IX dell’Eneide. Servio tende a sorvolare su episodi (o anche su singole parole) che potrebbero suggerire un certo grado di licenziosità in Virgilio. Per esempio, evita di soffermarsi sulla natura dell’amor fra Niso e Eurialo nel quinto libro dell’Eneide. Al contrario, Donato dà più spazio allo stesso episodio per spiegare come l’amor tra i due giovani troiani si configuri come un altro aspetto della loro pietas. In più, Donato sostiene che la natura dell’amore che unisce Eurialo e Niso non sia turpis (sensuale) ma casta (castus).In this paper, the author compares two ancient commentaries, those of Servius and Donatus on books V and IX of the Aeneid. Servius tends to pass over episodes (or even single words) that could suggest a certain degree of licentiousness in Vergil. For instance, he avoids dwelling on the nature of the amor between Nisus and Euryalus in the fifth book of the Aeneid. By contrast, Donatus devotes more space to the same episode in order to explain how the amor between the two young Trojans is in fact another facet of their pietas. Furthermore, Donatus claims that the nature of the love that unites Euryalus and Nisus is not turpis (sensual) but chaste (castus)

Il commento dello Ps. Probo al IV libro delle "Georgiche" di Virgilio

pp. 145-176Dall’analisi del commento dello pseudo Probo al IV libro delle Georgiche, il relatore ha messo in evidenzia la natura composita, il valore eterogeneo, l’impropria disposizione di alcune note. Alla ricerca di una possibile definizione del testo, lo studioso ha proposto di considerarlo una sorta di ‘canovaccio’ riunente materiale disparato, forse in attesa di una immissione di un commento più ampio e organico (o di una lettura complementare a tale commento, probabilmente imparentata con la tradizione serviana).Considering how to define the Probus's commentary of IV book of Georgics, a text very heterogeneous in its making, the scholar suggests to consider it as a kind of ‘cadre’ composed with disparate elements, perhaps waiting for to bring in it a larger and more systematic commentary

Guerre di genere e tecnica degli interstizi. Ovidio, Petronio, Properzio e altri

In a few cases in which a poet of the Imperial Age (such as Propertius, Ovid or Petronius) retells a Virgilian scene, it is possible to recognize a particular poetic technique. It had not passed unnoticed by earlier scholars, but I propose now to name it ‘the technique of the interstitial formations’. In the cases studied, the new poets seem to look for a sort of gap in the previous narration, an interstice that they filled and developed to the point of making it the centre of the narrative interest in their own version of the scene

OntologyBeanGenerator 5.0: Extending ontology concepts with methods and exceptions

When modeling and implementing complex systems based on agents and artifacts, achieving semantic interoperability is not only useful, but often necessary. A commonly adopted solution to manage complex and real MASs is adopting a Model Driven methodology, which uses an ontology as the formal representation of the domain, and then exploiting some existing tool to automatically generate code for agents in the MAS, to let them interact according to the model. While this approach is satisfactorily supported when the target MAS environment is Jason, less support is provided to Jade MASs, despite Jade's large adoption for real MASs development. So, considering the great support given by the automatic code generation starting from a formal model, and the large community working on Jade MASs, in this work we present an extension of the OntologyBeanGenerator plugin for Prot\ue9g\ue9, used to generate a Java representation of an OWL ontology for Jade. We improved the OntologyBeanGenerator tool to support the modeling of exceptions, formalized at the ontology level, and of methods associated with ontology elements, to set the interface of concrete objects (artifacts) at design stage. This extension allows us to integrate in a Model Driven approach a support for the formal definition of artifacts and provide an automatic generation of Jade code/interfaces to interact with them respecting the model

Un esempio di "deformatio" nelle "Interpretationes Vergilianae" di Tiberio Claudio Donato: la lotta di Priamo contro Pirro

According to Tiberius Claudius Donatus, in the struggle between Pyrrhus and Priamus in the second book of Vergil''s Aeneid the Trojan king causes of his own will the reactions of Achilles'' son, in order to be killed by him. His main weapon is the deformatio of Pyrrhus, a rhetorical device blaming not only Pyrrhus, but Achilles too

All\u2019ombra dei grandi libri: la selva Andes di Pietro Marso

"Andes Virgilii natale solum", a silva by the Italian humanist Petrus Marsus, was published in Mantua in 1480. The present paper investigates the role of that text as a turning point from Statius\u2019 concept of the silva to the silvae by Politian; it also shows that the silvae were intended by Politian as an introduction to classical texts, exactly in the way of the first printed editions of classical texts, where these texts were accompanied by other poetic compositions, conceived as an introduction to the classical author
