The Aldine Edition of the Ancient Greek Epistolographers: Roots and Legacy
by Julene Abad Del Vecchio
This special issue of the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library is devoted to the Aldine edition of the Ancient Greek epistolographers. Published in Venice in 1499 by Aldus Manutius, the Aldine edition was the first printed edition of most of the thirty-six Greek letter collections that it contains. As such, it embodies the intersection between the medieval epistolary anthologies that predated it and the printed editions of Greek epistolographic collections that followed, which were primarily based on its text. In recent decades, the Aldien edition has been the subject of important works, which have sought to analyse its contents and sources. This issue explores the Aldine edition from three perspectives: its relationship to the epistolary collections found in medieval manuscripts, its relationship to the printed editions that followed it and its legacy and value for the modern scholar studying Ancient Greek epistolography.

March 2006»Angefügt, nahtlos, dem Heute« / »Agglutinati all'oggi«. Paul Celan übersetzt Giuseppe Ungaretti
Zweisprachige Ausgabe. Italienisch / deutsch. Handschriften. Erstdruck. Dokumente
by Paul Celan, Giuseppe Ungaretti, Peter Goßens
Die Fragilität der Dinge, die Bedrohtheit der Existenz und, als ihr Begrenzendes, das Unermeßliche, aus dem Alles aufsteigt, flüchtig aufglänzt, in dem es wieder versinkt – das ist die Erfahrung, aus der heraus Ungaretti nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg zu dichten begonnen hat. Sie ist der Grundriß seines Dichtens geblieben.« Mit dieser Ankündigung erschien 1968 Paul Celans übersetzung von Giuseppe Ungarettis La terra promessa (1950) und Il taccuino del vecchio (1960) in einer zweisprachigen Ausgabe im Insel Verlag. Nach Ingeborg Bachmanns nur wenige Jahre älterer übersetzung (1961) trug Paul Celans Engagement entscheidend zur besonderen Stellung Giuseppe Ungarettis in Deutschland bei. Celans Übertragung ist in Ungarettis Werk auf besondere Weise eingegangen. In die Originalausgaben der Zyklen hat er, mit Ausnahme weniger eigenständiger Seiten, seine übersetzung hineingeschrieben, den gedruckten Text mit seiner handschriftlichen Arbeit unmittelbar konfrontiert. Den Faksimiles folgen Celans Übertragung nach dem Text der Erstausgabe, sein Briefwechsel mit der Lektorin des Insel Verlages, Anneliese Botond, die ganz unterschiedlich akzentuierten Pressestimmen und ein Nachwort, in dem die Geschichte der Übertragung dokumentiert und Celans übersetzungskonzept analysiert und bewertet wird. Die Genese der Übertragung, die »tangentiale« Berührung von übersetzung und Original, wird in der neuen Ausgabe vollständig als Faksimile abgebildet. »Diese Dichtung hatte das Glück, von Ihnen meisterhaft gedeutet zu werden.« Giuseppe Ungaretti über Paul Celans Übertragungen seiner Lyrik

Traditional medicine & herbal remediesYour herbarium. 160 medicinal plants
by Agosto Vecchio
Medicinal herbs have a thousand-year history that is often lost between myth and legend. Since ancient times, the discovery of the medicinal properties of herbs and plants has prompted man to form catalogs in which they were described and illustrated in great detail, to allow identification and to recommend their use. True treasures for bibliophiles, ancient herbaria are jealously guarded by lucky collectors or in library archives. This selection, from the Library of the Natural History Museum in Paris, faithfully reproduces the splendid illustrations of the most important species and deals with their general properties and how to use them to prevent or mitigate minor discomforts and improve both their physical health and their condition. of spirit.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2020AL CROCEVIA DEI POPOLI "MONDO VECCHIO E MONDO NUOVO" (1848)
by Luisa Rendina, Antonio Cecere
The revolutionary season of the "Primavera dei Popoli" would have been decisive for the Risorgimento’s mission. The liberal opening and the first parliamentary apprenticeship started the progressive disintegration of the Pre-unification States and a first consequent nationalization of the Italian space. Nonetheless, the 1848 also coincided with the conquest of public space: the proliferation and diffusion of newspapers concurred to radically modify revolutionary practice and, in many cases, to superimpose political militancy on journalistic militancy.Ferdinando Petruccelli della Gattina, Lucan, spearhead of the radical-democratic group, would have founded the most widely read, most widespread and most "guarded" newspaper of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies: «Il Mondo Vecchio e il Mondo Nuovo». La stagione rivoluzionaria della «Primavera dei popoli» sarebbe stata determinante per la missione risorgimentale. L'apertura liberale e il primo apprendistato parlamentare avviarono la progressiva disgregazione degli Stati Preunitari e una prima conseguente nazionalizzazione dello spazio italiano. Nondimeno il Quarantotto coincise anche con la conquista dello spazio pubblico: la proliferazione e diffusione dei giornali concorsero a modificare radicalmente la prassi rivoluzionaria e a sovrapporre, in molti casi, la militanza politica a quella giornalistica. Ferdinando Petruccelli della Gattina, lucano, punta di diamante del gruppo radical-democratico, avrebbe fondato il Giornale più letto, più diffuso e più "sorvegliato" del Regno delle Due Sicilie: «Il Mondo Vecchio e il Mondo Nuovo».

FictionMarch 2020Hannah
by Christian Galvez
Florence under the Nazis. Two timelines. A palindrome that joins two generations. An unknown hero. A story based on real events Florence, 1944. German consul Gerhard Wolf, the Guardian of Ponte Vecchio, saved the lives of hundreds of Jews during the Nazi occupation, kept the Germans from stealing the artworks in the Uffizi gallery, and saved Ponte Vecchio from being destroyed by mines. Florence, 2019. Hannah returns to Spain from Florence because her grandmother, Hannah, is dying. With her will go one of her deepest secrets: how she lived through the Nazi occupation of Florence in 1944. Hanna will find a Wehrpass, a Nazi passport belonging to a soldier who died in combat in 1943, and next to her grandmother’s name, she sees the text: “Hannah, girl number 37. G. Wolf.” Why did her Jewish grandmother’s name appear in a Nazi passport?

Vietnam War fictionFebruary 2013For the Sake of All Living Things
by John M. Del Vecchio
John M. Del Vecchio’s searing bestseller The 13th Valley was praised as one of the most powerful works of literature to emerge from the Viet Nam experience. Now back in print comes an even more stunning achievement: For the Sake of All Living Things. In this unflinching and unforgettable epic saga, Del Vecchio re-creates the violence and horror of Viet Nam’s parallel tragedy—the Cambodian holocaust—as seen through the eyes of a Cambodian family and the American adviser whose fate becomes irrevocable linked with theirs. A sweeping tale of savagery and survival that pits parents and children against both the North Vietnamese invaders and the unprecedented ferocity of the Khmer Rouge, For the Sake of All Living Things is an unrelenting, ultimately inspiring chronicle of conflict and redemption in the killing fields.

Vietnam War fictionFebruary 2013Carry Me Home
by John M. Del Vecchio
In this powerful and poignant epic, Del Vecchio transports the soldiers of the Viet Nam experience to their final battlefield—the home front. High Meadow Farm, in the fertile hill country of central Pennsylvania, would be their salvation. In Viet Nam they had fought side by side, brothers in arms. Now in the face of personal tragedy and bureaucratic deception, they would create a more enduring allegiance, an alliance of the spirit and the soil. "Carry Me Home" is the remarkable story of their struggle to find each other and themselves, a saga spanning fifteen years—fifteen years lost in a wilderness called America. In its scope, breadth, and brilliance, "Carry Me Home" is much more than a novel about Viet Nam and Viet Nam veterans. It is a testament to history and hope, to hometowns and homecomings, to love and loss, to faith and family. It is a novel about two decades in our collective lives and the cleansing of our spirit—an inspiring and unforgettable novel about America itself.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2015Carraresi's Dream
Padua Capital (1350-1406)
by Federico Moro
An essay that re-examines the figures of Francesco il Vecchio and Francesco Novello da Carrara, their vision, the adventure of an entire city in the light of an entirely new interpretative key. For the first time, fourteenth-century Padua is examined within the geostrategy of the time, weighing on the one hand the ambitions and on the other the forces available. The result is surprising, leading to a re-evaluation of the last two Lords of Carrara and their choices: bold, without doubt, but not at all utopian and in many ways inevitable.Intelligent and valiant on a personal level, cultured and cunning, of unquestionable courage even in the face of death, tragic with even epic traits for both, Francesco il Vecchio and Francesco Novello are here saved from the singular oblivion to which they have been condemned. Above all, they are given back the dimension of great statesmen as they were. They had bad luck but, perhaps, for this very reason they are even more worthy of remembrance and reflection.

by John M. Del Vecchio
A work that has served as a literary cornerstone for the Vietnam generation, The 13th Valley follows the strange and terrifying Vietnam combat experiences of James Chelini, a telephone-systems installer who finds himself an infantryman in territory controlled by the North Vietnamese Army. Spiraling deeper and deeper into a world of conflict and darkness, this harrowing account of Chelini's plunge and immersion into jungle warfare traces his evolution from a semipacifist to an all-out warmonger. The seminal novel on the Vietnam experience, The 13th Valley is a classic that illuminates the war in Southeast Asia like no other book.

FictionJune 2020Drawings of Hiroshima
by Marcelo Simonetti
“The sky was covered with grey clouds. The drizzle was lighter than normal, almost pious. The Japanese were advancing through the streets with short, fast steps. Satoru was ahead of them. He pedaled at a good pace. From his bicycle seat, the city revealed itself to his eyes as a sequence of frames. It was strange to be there, in his grandfather's city, and to ride through it as he had probably never done before: on two wheels. Even so, the possibility that the route he was taking would intersect with the routes that his grandfather had taken when he was a child, provoked an intimate emotion in him. Those landscapes were over eighty years old, including an atomic bomb, but it was the land where Ryu Nakata had learned to walk, to speak, to read”. The death of his grandfather, awakens in the young Yasuhiro Nakata the desire to know the family history, especially after finding a letter in which he discovers another side of the old man whose last words were: 'Hiroshima, Hiroshima', warning of the existence of a secret. As a result, Yasuhiro embarks on a journey that will take him from Valparaiso to Hiroshima, where his grandfather emigrated ten years before the atomic disaster. This is the beginning of Drawings of Hiroshima— a charming story that allows readers to follow the protagonist on a journey in which he not only reconnects with his Japanese origins, but also questions his present, his interpersonal relationships and his interest in writing, deepening the unconscious desire to understand the role that he plays in a story that is not his own but yet challenges him directly. With this new release, Marcelo Simonetti addresses issues such as migration and identity, connecting the historic Chilean port of Valparaiso with the memory of the tragedy occured in the Japanese city.
