Deity or Divine Sorceress: The Evolution of the donna angelicata in the Italian Works of Dionysios Solomos

Wrongfully underestimated is the extent to which the feminine sublime pervades thecollective literary compositions of Dionysios Solomos, from the poetic productions of hisyouth to those literary projects undertaken in the years preceding his death. Indeed, theexpanse of Solomos’ literary works are meticulously laced with transcendental female figures,Christ-like divinities rather, radiating a supernatural aura of which the surrounding cosmosin its entirety is in awe. Gradually discernible becomes the fact that Solomos’ divine, etherealwoman is a ubiquitous, potent force whose successive evolution is not only proof of itsdynamism, but of its indisputable eminence in the works of a poet to whom this woman’spresence is, in no uncertain terms, indispensable. Due to obvious restrictions of space, I havechosen to focus upon the development of the transcendental female form in Solomos’ Italianworks, after all, it is in those Italian poetic compositions of his youth, specifically those whichcomprise the Rime Improvvisate (1822), that the donna angelicatamakes her first of a multitudeof appearances

Synthesis of lactose-based S-linked sialylmimetics of alpha(2,3)-sialosides.

A new approach toward the synthesis of lactose-based S-linked sialylmimetics of a(2,3)-linked sialosides is described. These compounds, represented by the general structure 3, were prepared from methyl ߭d-lactoside in 11 steps. It was found that the choice of protecting group was crucial to allow the efficient introduction of sulfur at the 3-position of the galactose ring.Office of the Snr Dep Vice Chancellor, Institute for GlycomicsNo Full Tex
