Abstract

"The Emergence of the Gulf States covers the history of the Gulf from the 18th century to 1971. Employing a broad perspective, the v. brings together experts in the field to consider the region's political, economic and social development. The contributions address key themes including the impact of early history, religious movements, social structures, identity and language, imperialism, 20th-century economic transformation and relations with the wider Indian Ocean and Arab world. The work as a whole provides a new interpretive approach based on new research coupled with extensive reviews of the relevant literature. It offers a valuable contribution to the knowledge of the area and sets a new standard for the future scholarship and understanding of this vital region."--

Abstract

"The textual foundations of works of great cultural significance are often less stable than one would wish them to be. No work of Homer, Dante or Shakespeare survives in utterly reliable witnesses, be they papyri, manuscripts or printed editions. Notions of textual authority have varied considerably across the ages under the influence of different (and differently motivated) agents, such as scribes, annotators, editors, correctors, grammarians, printers and publishers, over and above the authors themselves. The need for preserving the written legacy of peoples and nations as faithfully as possible has always been counterbalanced by a duty to ensure its accessibility to successive generations at different times and in different cultural contexts. The ten chapters collected in this volume offer critical approaches to such authors and texts as Homer, the Bible, The Thousand and One Nights, Dante, Montaigne, Shakespeare, Eliot, but also Leonardo da Vinci's manuscripts uniquely combining word and image, as well as Beethoven's 'Tempest' sonata (Op. 31, No. 2) as seen from the angle of music as text. Together the contributors argue that an awareness of what the 'life of texts' entails is essential for a critical understanding of the transmission of culture."--Bloomsbury Publishing The textual foundations of works of great cultural significance are often less stable than one would wish them to be.

Abstract

Il volume intende offrire un quadro ampio sulla filologia in Italia nel Rinascimento. In questi saggi, scritti dai maggiori specialisti della materia, si approfondiscono i casi più significativi relativi all'attività filologica condotta nel corso del Cinquecento sui testi volgari: dalle cure riservate a Dante e Petrarca nelle celebri aldine curate da Bembo, al lavorio intorno alle edizioni di Boccaccio e di Ariosto; dalla tradizione delle opere di Guicciardini e Tasso a una serie di contributi mirati all'incrocio tra le questioni filologiche e il dibattito linguistico che corre lungo tutto il secolo.
