FACCHETTI, G.M., Scrittura e falsità. Presentazione di P. Biavaschi. Giorgio Bretschneider, Roma, 2009. XI,170p. Sewn. Cardboard. Small stamp on title page. Questo interessante saggio riesce a coordinare, e a condensare in una trattazione relativamente breve, un’analisi delle assai complesse vicende della storia della scrittura, come strumento di potere e di conservazione/propagazione della conoscenza, con un’indagine accurata e pionieristica dei processi di falsificazione del testo scritto, anche in rapporto a emergenti linee di falsificazione della ricerca scientifica e culturale. Nei primi due capitoli si pongono le basi teoriche per cercare di definire rigorosamente l’oggetto della ricerca, inquadrandolo tramite precisazioni definitorie e modelli classificatori generali, individuando il genus di fenomeni di cui la falsificazione documentale è una species, e delimitando i confini e le distinzioni della stessa nei confronti di pratiche collaterali. L’intenso lavoro di ricerca condotto dall’Autore sulle questioni dei rapporti tra lingue parlate e forme di scrittura è stato sviluppato ampiamente rispetto alla monografia 'Antropologia della scrittura' (Milano, 2002 [2007]), sfociando in una rielaborazione complessiva di questioni di vasta portata sui sistemi di scrittura presenti e passati: i problemi relativi agli antecedenti delle prime esperienze scrittorie (‘prescrittura’, ‘protoscrittura’, ecc.), la definizione stessa di ‘scrittura’, i processi di formazione e di diffusione di questa tecnica, nonché l’articolazione tassonomica delle sue differenti realizzazioni storiche. Viene altresì istituito un notevole confronto critico tra diverse impostazioni teoriche di inquadramento dei problemi, mettendo nitidamente in luce pregi e difetti derivanti dall’applicazione delle diverse soluzioni. Un particolare approfondimento è dedicato alla nozione di ‘grafema’. (Publisher's information). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux. € 25.00 (Antiquarian)

Joints scratched. Corners bumped. Hinges broken. Small personal library mark on tail spine and free endpaper. Name on free endpaper. (Rare thus). 'Of all the faculties wherewith God has endowed his noblest creature, none is more divine and mysterious than the faculty of speech. It is the gift whereby man is raised above the beasts; the gift whereby soul speaks to soul; the gift whereby mere pulses of articulated air become breathing thoughts and burning words; the gift whereby we understand the affections of men and give expression to the worship of God; the gift whereby the lip of divine inspiration uttering thins simple and unperfumed and unadorned, reacheth with its passionate voice through a thousand generations by the help of God.'

FEHLING, D., Die Wiederholungsfiguren und ihr Gebrauch bei den Griechen vor Gorgias. De Gruyter, Berlin, 2017. POD. XI,358p. Hard bound. 'This is an extremely useful and thorough piece of research, covering a considerably wider area than the title would suggest. (...) What is (...) likely to be the most useful part is the full and systematic discussion of each individual figure (...). The rich selection of examples is particularly useful and, since the book is admirably well indexed and, to judge from random checking, accurate, it deserves to become a valuable tool for reference.'

FELTENIUS, L., Intransitivizations in Latin. Almqqvist & Wiksell, Uppsala, 1977. 151p. Sewn. Series: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis, 9. 'This useful monograph deals with 'the development of intransitivizations in Latin from the earliest period to the beginning of Medieval Latin' (p.9). F. begins with a good elucidation of his terminology, in which he avoids the mistake of treating as transitive only those verbs which have an expressed accusative object. The distinction between intransitive verbs and transitive verbs used absolutely is also well discussed. F. briebly describes the factors which caused transitive verbs to develop as intransitives on pp.22-3 (e.g. ellipse of an object, deletion of a reflexive pronoun, the influence of the present participle - which could always have both an active and a medio-passive sense - on the finite forms, analogy of various types). (...) F.'s monograph is a good presentation of an important body of evidence. His careful scholarship is apparent both in his classification of the material, and in various interesting observations on points of detail.' (J.N ADAMS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1979, pp.171-72). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux. € 18.50 (Antiquarian)
