Note: this is a limited preview. Visit http://amsdottorato.unibo.it/ for the full dissertation. This dissertation presents a systematic and analytic overview of most of the information related to stones, minerals, and stone masonry which is found in the corpus of Plutarch of Chaeronea, combined with most of the information on metals and metalworking which is connected to the former. This survey is intended as a first step in the reconstruction of the full landscape of ‘chemical’ ideas occurring in Plutarch’s writings; accordingly, the exposition of the relevant passages, the assessment of their possible interpretations, the discussion on their implications, and their contextualization in the ancient traditions have been conducted with a special interest in the ‘mineralogical’ and ‘metallurgic’ themes developed in the frame of natural philosophy and meteorology. Although in this perspective physical etiology could have come to acquire central prominence, non-etiological information on Plutarch’s ideas on the nature and behaviour of stones and metals has been treated as equally relevant to reach a fuller understanding of how Plutarch conceptualized and visualized them in general, in- and outside the frame of philosophical explanation. Such extensive outline of Plutarch’s ideas on stones and metals is a prerequisite for an accurate inquiry into his use of the two in analogies, metaphors, and symbols: to predispose this kind of research was another aim of the present survey, and this aim has contributed to shape it; moreover, a special attention has been paid to the analysis of analogical and figurative speaking due to the nature itself of a large part of Plutarch’s references to stones and metals, which are either metaphorical, presented in close association with metaphors, or framed in analogies. Much of the information used for the present overview has been extracted —always with supporting argumentation— from the implications of such metaphors and analogies. It is a guiding assumption of this research that inquiries such as the present and its planned developments would be significantly facilitated by the availability of a digital tool for the indexing and mapping of ideas and of their contexts of enunciation in the texts conveying them. TheSu (Thesis- Support) is an XML annotation scheme designed for this specific end, intended to be flexible enough to aid a large variety of research objectives in intellectual history. This tool is presented in the introduction to this dissertation along with examples of its possible utility, quantitative analyses, and visualizations of TheSu-encoded data extracted from an integral case annotation of Plutarch’s Aquane an ignis utilior sit. The appendix to this dissertation presents the human-readable definitions of all the elements and attributes of TheSu, exported from the digital documentation of its XML Schema Definition document (version 0.72).
The material accidents affecting manuscripts, which are frequently dismembered and recomposed in multiple ways, can have a substantial influence on the transmission of medieval texts. This session explores the manuscript tradition of selected works, in order to shed light on the material aspects of various transmission issues including the genesis of miscellaneous codices, the gathering of heterogeneous materials, or particularly complex and contaminated stemmas. Sometimes, the examination of manuscripts' physical features allows us to formulate hypotheses concerning their origin and the strategies employed by their compilers, or to postulate antigraphs that do not take the usual 'codex' form. Such matters are of great interest to scholars working on philological investigations and transmission histories.

The paper is an attempt to interpret a schema that is part of an early medieval fragment known as the Excerptum de quattuor elementis. In this schema, the individual elements (fire, air, water, earth) are presented as the elements which form the material world using several characterisations typical of the period: as the sum of their natural physical properties in accordance with the Platonic and Aristotelian traditions, as geometric shapes (to put it simply, using the so-called Platonic solids) and as numerical values connected by a 2:1 ratio. The aim of this paper is to propose a possible interpretation of the numerical values and connections found in this schema using contemporary texts and diagrams (especially Calcidius and Isidore of Seville, as well as other sources available at the time), which would include a consistent yet complex characterisation of the elements, their properties and their mutual interconnectedness, as found in the fragmentary text of the Excerptum de quattuor elementis and in the schema itself.

Sljivar and Boric (in the first part of this pdf) challenge the validity of the archaeological context of the tin bronze foil found at the Vinca culture site of Plocnik and, therefore, its broader interpretation. The archaeological context, as described in Radivojevic et al. (2013), is recorded in the original field journals, annual field reports and academic publications for Plocnik (all of which were co-authored by Dusan Sljivar); these records support our earlier description of the context. Their criticisms of the broader interpretation of the tin bronze foil appear to be based on a misunderstanding of the nature of ores and metallurgy. In the second part of the pdf we respond in detail to the challenges levelled at our interpretation.
