L'amicizia che unì Joan Estelrich e Josep Pla ci permette oggi di conoscere qualche dettaglio in più sulla vita e sulla personalità dell'intellettuale di Felanitx, grazie soprattutto a una caratteristica in comune tra i due amici: la passione per la scrittura. Nel caso di Pla, soprattutto applicata alla professione di giornalista e alla letteratura di viaggio, mentre per Estelrich, principalmente come saggista e diarista. L'influenza dei paesaggi mediterranei e la passione per la cucina tradizionale maiorchina sono solo alcuni degli elementi che Pla evidenziò nella dedica che scrisse all'amico, includendolo nei suoi Homenots del 1959. Del resto, lo stesso Estelrich affermò più volte l'importanza del mare nostrum come elemento di unione tra i popoli che abitano le sue coste e alcuni dei principali progetti culturali che diresse tra gli anni Venti e Trenta includevano pienamente l'idea di un'eredità mediterranea comune da recuperare e salvaguardare. Altri episodi quali la creazione del quotidiano El Día, l'organizzazione della Setmana de la Saviesa a Formentor e la descrizione di una delle innumerevoli attraversate in nave da Barcellona a Palma, contribuiscono a rimarcare l'importanza del mare e delle sue isole nella vita di Estelrich: un uomo che osservava tutto da una prospettiva culturale e che rimase sempre fedele alle sue origini in una vita sommersa tra scrittura, viaggi e relazioni pubbliche.

In dem kleinen Spätdialog Laelius erklärt Cicero, was wahre Freundschaft ist, und auch, warum wir Freundschaften schließen. Es geht ihm hier um echte Freundschaften, d.h. nicht um Bindungen, die auf wechselseitigen Nutzen oder Luststeigerung zielen. Für Cicero ist es die Attraktivität des Guten, die eine Person als Freund anziehend macht – die Attraktivität des Guten ist die Basis jeder echten Freundschaft. Die moralische Qualität des Anderen begründet die besondere Anziehungskraft, die den Willen nach dieser Freundschaft trägt. In der Attraktivität des Guten liegt der Grund, der uns zur Bewahrung der Freundschaft motiviert. Für Cicero geht das Bemühen um echte Freundschaft einzig von Personen aus, die das Gute schätzen und ehren. Cicero vertritt daher (ähnlich wie vor ihm Platon und Aristoteles) die Auffassung, dass echte Freundschaft überhaupt nur unter (moralisch) Guten möglich ist.

This paper examines friendship in the correspondence of Alcuin of York in the broader context of the development of concepts of friendship in the Latin West. The fundamental dimensions of friendship in Alcuin's work are identified, as well as the relationship between them. These are therefore particularly the spiritual, philosophical-ethical and political dimensions. In addition, elements of the author's own emotionality can be perceived in Alcuin's correspondence. The sources of Alcuin's conception of friendship are to be sought primarily in the patristic tradition.

Tato studie se zabývá přátelstvím v korespondenci Alkuina z Yorku, a to v širším kontextu vývoje konceptů přátelství na latinském Západě. Identifikovány jsou základní roviny přátelství v Alkuinově díle, stejně jako vzájemný vztah mezi nimi. Jedná se tedy především o rovinu duchovní, filozoficko-etickou a politickou. Kromě toho lze v Alkuinově korespondenci postřehnout prvky autorovy vlastní emocionality. Zdroje Alkuinova pojetí přátelství je pak třeba hledat především v patristické tradici.

Resum: Curial e Güelfa (Milà-Nàpols, ca. 1445-1448), novel·la cavalleresca escrita en català i atribuïble al gran camarlenc del Nàpols d’Alfons el Magnànim, Enyego d’Àvalos, conté una suggerent càrrega culturalista (mites ovidians tergiversats satíricament; teofanies i decorats neoplatònics; remissions explícites i/o implícites Cèsar, Macrobi, Plató, Apuleu...), que no resulta en absolut supèrflua i prescindible, com argumentà algun crític del segle passat. Al contrari: la manera d’evocar-hi els clàssics i de re-presentar-los no s’explica sense considerar els contactes de l’hipotètic escriptor amb l’humanisme llombard i napolità. D’altra banda, el repertori de clàssics greco-llatins documentats en la variada biblioteca personal del mateix D’Àvalos, la segona més rica del sud d’Itàlia, evidencia la coincidència de gustos i lectures d’aquest amb l’anònim del Curial i convida a ratificar la referida atribució.

Resum: La present reflexió s’ocupa del tema del reliquiari, originàriament destinat a la veneració d’elements sagrats, i aprofundeix en la seua constant evolució fins a l’era contemporània, a través de la producció de Joan Millet Bonet. Així doncs, es tracta de fer una comparació inter-temporal amb la intenció d’extraure els possibles vincles que puguen oferir-nos les diferents claus discursives necessàries perquè aquest objecte continue mantenint la seua naturalesa inherent. De tal manera, i inevitablement, fem al·lusió a les tangencials qüestions espirituals que acompanyen l’objecte sacre, tant en l’antiguitat com en l’actualitat. Tot això, necessàriament, configura els entorns en els quals se circumscriuen els reliquiaris en els seus diferents temps i, al seu torn, per extensió, també condicionen i conformen les seues possibilitats formals i estètiques.Palraules clau: Reliquiari, objet trouvé, ready made, objecte trobat, art, disseny, artesania, Joan Millet, espiritualitat.: This...

Aquest article mostra quin degué ser l’origen del verb salpuscar i la variant salbuscar, sinònim de l’actual esquitar o esquitxar . Subratlla les possibilitats que ofereixen els corpus textuals digitals i la necessitat de tenir present l’estudi contrastiu de llengües (especialment d’atendre l’occità) i la història de la cultura quan es fa semàntica i lexicologia diacròniques del català. Així mateix, s’hi apliquen nocions bàsiques de la semàntica cognitiva en l’estudi del canvi lingüístic.This article shows what must have been the origin of the Catalan verb salpuscar and its variant salbuscar, synonym of the current verb esquitar o esquitxar (‘to splash’). It highlights the possibilities offered by digital textual corpora and the need to bear in mind the contrastive study of languages (especially when it comes to Occitan) and the cultural history when diachronic semantics and lexicology of Catalan are done. Likewise, basic notions of cognitive semantics are applied in the study of li...

Resum: Les darreres investigacions sobre la novel·la cavalleresca catalana Curial e Güelfa subratllen de forma unànime la qualitat literària de l’obra i la riquesa de la cultura literària del seu autor, en especial en relació als autors clàssics i italians. Entre els italians, nombrosos estudiosos han remarcat el paper cabdal de Boccaccio, i en particular del Decameron, com a model d’escriptura i com a intermediari de la tradició clàssica, per a l’autor anònim català. En aquest treball oferim una mostra de la presència de la novella X.8 en el text català, tot resseguint ambdues narracions, i observant l’encaix en el nou context narratiu que duu a terme l’autor anònim del Curial. Això ens permet, a més, valorar la relació de la novel·la cavalleresca i la traducció catalana del Decameron de 1429.Paraules clau: Curial e Güelfa, Boccaccio, Decameron, novella X.8: The latest research on the Catalan chivalric novel Curial e Güelfa has highlighted unanimously the literary quality of the wo...

Lozana's recipes: cook, medician, beautician and witch
Riassunto: In un breve giro d'anni, fra Quattro e Cinquecento, in Italia come in Spagna, si moltiplicarono i libri di cucina, codificando un canone che rimarrà tale fino ai nostri giorni, come pure gli Antidotari, con i rimedi scientifici o presunti tali per le diverse malattie, in primis il mal francese, e ancora i libri dei segreti con consigli su ogni problema domestico e sulle cure cosmetiche, nonché i prontuari a disposizione di chi volesse usare di malefici e pronostici. Anche ne La Lozana andaluza si sprecano ricette e consigli d'ogni genere, e tuttavia l'ironia e la vis comica del suo autore travolgono quanto di prescrittivo e normativo caratterizza il genere, sovvertendo sia la lingua sia i contenuti adottati dall'autore.
Parole chiave: Lozana andaluza, cucina, estetica, medicina, magia.
Abstract: In a short span of years, between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, in Italy as in Spain, cookbooks multiplied, codifying a canon that will remain so to our days, as well as the Antidotaries, with scientific or presumed remedies for the various diseases, primarily the French pox, and the books of secrets with advices on every domestic problem and on cosmetic treatments,
as well as the handbooks available to those who wanted to use spells and predictions. Even in La Lozana andaluza recipes and advices of all kinds are wasted, but its author’s irony and vis comica overwhelm the prescriptive and normative character of the genre, subverting both the
language and the contents adopted by Francisco Delicado.
Keywords: Lozana andaluza, cooking, cosmetics, medicine, magic.

Resum: Carmelo Esmaltado con tantas brillantes estrelles, cuantas flores terceras, fecundas de frutos de virtud y religión, cultivó y fijo en el cielo de la Santa Iglesia la venerable Orden Tercera de Nuestra Señora del Carmen, és el títol de l’obra que el carmelita aragonès Roque Alberto Faci (1684-1744) va publicar el 1743. El llibre és un tractat per als membres de la tercera ordre del Carmel en què trobem diverses biografies de terciàries carmelites. El que pretendrem a partir de l’anàlisi de la obra i les biografies, és fixar el paper de les terciàries al món carmelita. Per això, analitzarem l’objectiu de l’autor tenint en compte la religiositat i espiritualitat del segle XVIII i la projecció de la Il·lustració. Paraules clau: Carmel, Dones, Religiositat, Seglar, Terciaris : Carmelo Esmaltado con tantas brillantes estrelles, cuantas flores terceras, fecundas de frutos de virtud y religión, cultivó y fijo en el cielo de la Santa Iglesia la venerable Orden Tercera de Nuestra Seño...

Resum || Els temes de literatura medieval varen tenir un profund efecte als treballs que seguirien a les següents generacions malgrat el reconeixement o no d'aquesta influència per part de l'escriptor, i es pot veure cóm Poe deixa traces del motiu popular medieval del Rei Pescador en aquesta història curta, "The Fall of the House of Usher". Aquesta temàtica, que és anterior a l'època medieval, va cobrar importància als contes del Rei Artús i la recerca del Sant Graal. Tot i que no hi ha una indicació clara que Poe intencionadament intentés crear una versió gòtica d'aquest tema tradicional, això no descarta la possibilitat que "Usher" hagi estat condicionada d'alguna manera per aquesta noció medieval. Implementant una lectura acurada de la historia i comparant-la amb un marc d'aquesta concepció del Rei Pescador, aquest paper senyala una sèrie de similituds entre els dos, així com demostra el llarg abast de la influència del medievalisme en un dels escriptors preeminents de l'Amèrica del segle XIX,

This paper aims to point out the Greek novel main motifs, which,
through the novella II.7 of Decameron, appear in the Catalan chivalric novel Curial e Güelfa. We also intend to assess their relevance in the work and analyze their treatment by the Anonymous, from the intertextualities previously identifi ed. In our opinion, it is a crucial aspect in the plot of the Catalan novel that the author takes consciously
from Boccaccio narrative model. Boccaccio thus appears to us as an intermediary with the Classical Tradition, as a link between Catalan writer and the Greco-Latin world the author considers repeatedly as a paradigm in his novel.

Cicero (MÖ 106 – MÖ 43): Romalı büyük devlet adamı, hatip ve düşünür. Gençliğinde felsefe ve hukuk eğitimi aldı. Hitabet sanatındaki ustalığıyla consul’lüğe dek yükseldi. Roma’yı birey, geleneksel toplum düzeni ve devlet üçgeninde ele alan konuşmaları, felsefi ve teknik eserleriyle her çağın insanını etkilemeyi başarmıştır.

Cicero, Platon’tan esinlenerek diyalog biçiminde yazdığı Dostluk Üzerine’de, Quintus Mucius Scaevola, Gaius Fannius ve bu ikisinin kayınpederi Gaius Laelius’u konuşturur. Başkonuşmacı Gaius Laelius, Scipio ile dostluğundan söz eder ve dostluğun mahiyeti, nasıl insanlara bahşedildiği, faydaları, sınırları hakkında bilgece yanıtlar ve öğütler verir.

C. Cengiz Çevik (1983): İ.Ü. Edebiyat Fakültesi Latin Dili ve Edebiyatı bölümünden mezun oldu. Antik Roma’nın klasik Latincesi, Roma kültürü ve tarihi konularında çalışmalarını sürdürüyor. Horatius, Seneca, Copernicus, Sextus Empiricus, Martin Luther ve Francis Bacon’ın eserlerini çevirdi. Cicero’nun Yükümlülükler Üzerine, Yasalar Üzerine ve Yaşlı Cato veya Yaşlılık Üzerine isimli eserlerini de Türkçeye kazandırdı. Cicero çevirileri Hasan Âli Yücel Klasikler Dizisi’nde yayımlandı.

The article studies the reception of Cicero's Laelius in Isidore of Seville's sententiae 3, 28-32, that offers the only extant theoretical conceptualization of amicitia as a form of interpersonal relation during the 6th and 7th centuries AD. Over the period, caritas was regularly used to describe social relations. Accordingly, the study s key question is: how was classical concept of amicitia reintegrated into the Christian discourse of 7th century Roman-Barbarian Spain? The article suggests that the question of true unity in friendship was central for Isidore:
he reconsiders patristic model of grounding amicitia in caritas that was interpreted as both the principle of right behaviour towards the neighbour and a ground of general political and religious unity of gens Gothorum. Thus, Isidore attempts to correlate the personal relations of amicitia with the principle of caritas that rules and unites the society. This suggestion helps to explain why Isidore pays attention to the ideal of friendship represented in Cicero s Laelius. In the final analysis, the study tries to explain why Isidore builds the chapters on friendship from quotations and allusions on Laelius, suggesting that by these means Isidore's text according to the principles of writing of Late Antiquity, established a set of references between relevant problems of unity and relations in 7th century Visigothic Spain and the authoritative text of the tradition.

The third book of the novel Curial e Güelfa shows the features of a prose deeply indebted with Humanism. Noteworthy elements of this influence are the mythological discourse, the setting of a huge part of the events, and the imitation of Classical literary models. This paper aims to elucidate to what a extent, if there was such an imitation, the Aeschylean tragedy in which was put on stage the trial of Orestes, the Eumenides, could become the literary model for the trial of Curial at the Parnasse, as was some years ago suggested by Patricia Boehne.

My name is Carlton Burroughs and I am a client to Mr. Brian King. I am writing you to attest to Mr. King’s character.
First let me start by saying that Mr. King is an awesome human being. Words cannot express how blessed we are to have him here on earth.
Mr. King called me on a Friday night to inform me as to the suspension of his license to practice law in the state of New York. I was flabbergasted and at a loss for words to think that I would not have legal representation in my very serious case, where I am a victim of fraud and potential racketeering. I met Mr. King over a year and half ago, and called him sparingly, seeking his input on other legal matters. I recently hired Mr. King to represent me in housing court. His knowledge, expertise and how quick he familiarized himself with the details and facts of my case was acknowledged immediately and immensely appreciated. The building where I reside has been involved in a Supreme Court case where we have not seen any profound results as we have seen in our housing cases in a short amount of time with Mr. King’s representation. His impact on the case was well beyond stellar. Considering how expensive it is to retain a quality and qualified attorney, it is a gift from heaven to have stumbled upon Mr. King.
In the arena of attorneys Mr. King is simply the best in New York City that I have encountered.
I have referred Mr. King’s legal services to several individuals and to lose Mr. King's services would be devastating to our livelihood and a tragedy equal to that of September 11, 2001 (911). That may sound like hyperbole, but I assure you it is not. Everyone that I have referred to Mr. King, to a person, has called me expressing how grateful they are for me connecting them to him. Specifically, because he is affordable, and mostly because his honesty and integrity is impeccable. When I speak of honesty what I mean is that he takes quality time to listen and to explain in detail the law as to why he would take the case or why he would not. And if a case is righteous, he doesn’t turn it away, even when there is little or none to gain monetarily, but there is anything to gain in the commonweal of the public.
Mr. King’s law license should be restored immediately. It is just unthinkable that an attorney of his caliber and integrity could be removed from the bar on the grounds that he somehow threatened the public interest. It would be the burden of anyone making that claim against him to identify even one attorney in New York City that has shown as much commitment to the public interest via private or public deeds as Mr. King has shown. I challenge anyone reading this to put forth the names of such attorneys, so that the public interest can benefit as handily from them as it does from the works of Mr. King.
Thank you. Carlton Burroughs

Obituary: ROBERT GLEN 'PONCHO' GUMBS , June 23, 1977 - August 28, 2005 died suddenly in El Paso, TX; leaving behind two daughters, family and friends.
Funeral services will be held on Wed., Sept. 7 at 11 a.m. Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church, 1500 So. Hanley Rd. Burial at J. B. National Cemetery.

I attended college in Jefferson City, Missouri, with Poncho in 1997 and 1998. He and I were in the same freshman clique - basically athletes with street smarts who would all end up being recruited as sophomores into the BGLO's on campus. The Kappas kidnapped him and a couple other buddies from our clique, Mike and Big James, for initiation around the same time that the Alphas kidnapped Chad and me.

Poncho was a very talented athlete in several sports - basketball, football, boxing, wrestling - to name a few. He had a great sense of humor and his personality was kind and humble, and also confident. He never was a chatty person nor was he open to spreading gossip or even hearing it. He earned our trust and respect from day one because he was on some r.n.s.

He was a gentleman - very respectful toward the ladies, despite their constant propositions, their serenades outside of his dorm room, two tons of fan mail, and even a few stalkers. In fact, his modesty multiplied his status as a heartthrob, whereas it was already a consensus with the girls that "he looked like Genuwine" and therefore could have had a turn with as many as he pleased. 

He was not bashful about his Mexican heritage, representing the Latino culture he picked up -- from his daddy's side, if i'm not mistaken. His cultural exchanges, though distinctive in ways, were seamless with the black culture that he also identified with. 

In sum, Poncho was an outstanding individual with great potential. Kudos to his parents and blessings to his entire family. -bk

This aim of this article is to reflect on Michel Foucault’s reading of Plutarch’s Eroticus in his Histoire de la sexualité, putting emphasis on the fact that, against what it is affirmed by the French thinker, the real debate is not, in the author’s opinion, about true pleasure, that obtained by the erastés from his erómenos or that obtained by husbands from their wives, but the need to assign also love and friendship (éros kaì philia) to the conjugal love.

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar algunos paralelos de las damas de la novela caballeresca catalana Curial e Güelfa con rasgos representativos de los modelos femeninos dominantes en la tradición erótica de los clásicos grecolatinos, en especial, el de la docta puella de los poetas elegíacos.

The latest research on the Catalan chivalric novel Curial e Güelfa has highlighted unanimously the literary quality of the work and the richness of the literary culture of its author, in particular in relation to the classical and Italian writers. Among the Italians, many scholars have stressed the crucial role of Boccaccio, and in particular of the Decameron, as a literary model and as an intermediary in the classical tradition, for the anonymous Catalan author. In this work we offer a view of the presence of the novella X.8 in the Catalan text, following both narratives, and observing the fitting in the new narrative context that carries out the anonymous author of Curial. Besides, this allows us to appreciate the relationship of the chivalric novel and the Catalan translation of the Decameron of 1429.
