“Poiché, secondo l’opinione sia dei filosofi della natura sia dei sacerdoti, a fondamento di tutte le cose sta il potere dell’acqua, ho ritenuto opportuno [...] trattare in questo libro dei modi di ritrovamento dell’acqua e delle proprietà che essa possiede in rapporto alla caratteristica dei luoghi, dei metodi per trasportarla e del modo in cui saggiarne la qualità”. Vitruvio, De Architectura, VIII Praef. 4 Il volume affronta il tema dell’acqua e delle acque: uno degli argomenti senza dubbio più affascinanti anche per il grande pubblico non scientifico, al quale l’opera è destinata. L’acqua in tutti i suoi aspetti costituisce l’elemento aggregante, dalla mitologia alle spettacolari evidenze che l’alta valle dell’Aniene offre al turista, per il quale il libro rappresenta non una guida, ma l’invito ideale a recarsi nei luoghi e a conoscerli direttamente. Un simile territorio, peraltro, è perfettamente confacente all’argomento, e figura variamente declinato e intrecciato con i recuperi e i sequestri della Guardia di Finanza: dall’inquadramento generale di natura didattica alle attestazioni epigrafiche allo studio accurato della valle dell’Aniene fino alla località specifica di Trevi. La Guardia di Finanza, impegnata fin dal 1916 nell’attività di prevenzione e repressione dei reati contro il patrimonio culturale, opera con lo spiegamento di un consistente apparato di uomini e mezzi, sia a terra che in mare, in collaborazione con le competenti Soprintendenze, con gli Enti Pubblici a vario titolo interessati e con le altre Forze di Polizia. In particolare, il Corpo, in virtù dei poteri derivatigli in campo tributario ed atteso che il traffico di beni storico-artistici sottende anche reati di evasione fiscale, esplica la propria missione spaziando da controlli di carattere prettamente amministrativo fino a quelli più propriamente aderenti ai compiti di tipo tributario, affidato a personale specializzato. La componente aeronavale del Corpo offre un importante contributo sinergico nell’espletamento dell’azione di vigilanza nelle principali aree archeologiche marine e nel recupero di opere sommerse, attraverso l’impiego di militari sommozzatori. L’attività svolta dalla Guardia di Finanza a tutela dell’Arte viene coordinata e monitorata a livello centralizzato dal Gruppo Tutela Patrimonio Archeologico del Nucleo Polizia Tributaria Roma. Nel corso del solo ultimo biennio il diuturno impegno profuso nel comparto operativo ha consentito il recupero e la restituzione alla fruizione pubblica di 321.467 manufatti di interesse archeologico provenienti da scavo clandestino e di 86 dipinti trafugati; il sequestro di 141.956 opere contraffatte e la denuncia di 512 responsabili per violazioni correlate allo specifico compendio, che rappresentano – in termini percentuali – un incremento di circa 50 punti rispetto al biennio precedente.

Aristotle’s Meteorology: a twin set in Mediaeval Text Tradition. The Greek text of Aristotle’s Meteorology is in places highly problematic. Its edition by Fobes (1922), however, is a highlight in editorial technique. The Arabic version (c.800) is of quite different form and content. The two editions by Badawi (1961) and Petraitis (1967) were subject to considerable improvement. The present edition was done on the basis of the two extant Arabic manuscripts. The edition of the Latin translation (12th c.) from the Arabic has been constituted on the basis of 5 manuscript sources, out of 110 copies. The status of both the Arabic and the Latin texts was bad, but not hopeless: as the Latin version stands near to its Arabic predecessor, the text of the latter gives support to the editing of the text, as well as for the understanding of the contents. And this procedure works vice versa. The present edition of the texts has been completed with an Index of technical terms in Arabic, Greek and Latin and Registers on the Greek and Latin. Further a Bibliography and List of Latin manuscripts are presented.

The "Liber secretorum alchimie" is an attempt to introduce alchemy into Aristotle's science: manipulating metals, astronomy, astrology, geography and even theology are combined in these lecture notes taken by a 13th century medical student to make a fascinating review of themes which were hotly debated in medieval Italian university circles.

Reflecting the range of their honorand's interests, the essays in Ritual, Text and Law provide a stimulating and panoramic exploration of the interrelated fields of liturgy and canon law in the Middle Ages, chiefly through the scrutiny of texts and their transmission. Roger Reynolds' scholarly work has not only considered the relations between law and liturgy, but has also focused on liturgical practice and the evolution of rituals, paleography and the often complicated relationships between canonical collections, in particular the southern Italian Collection in Five Books. Due in large part to Reynolds' research, the fields of medieval canon law and liturgy are now recognized as fundamental elements of medieval religious and intellectual history that shed light on medieval Christian belief and practice. The studies are grouped thematically under the headings of 'Ritual' and 'Text and Law'. Each section has an introduction by the editors, in which they survey recent developments in the study of medieval canon law and liturgy with reference to Reynolds's own research, provide historical context for the individual studies, and draw attention to the ways in which the studies reflect current concerns. Individually, the contributors offer new viewpoints on key issues and questions relating to medieval religious, cultural and intellectual history, particularly of the period c.900-1200, and especially the Italian peninsula. Collectively they illuminate the interaction of medieval Christianity and its rituals, as well as the relationship of the secular and the sacred as transmitted in liturgico-canonical texts from the time of the early church to the 14th century.

Although often depicted as a barbaric and uncivilised society, in the full pejorative meaning of these words, Merovingian Gaul was clearly a Christian society and a direct continuation of the Roman civilisation in terms of social standards, morals and culture. Using insights provided by social history, archaeology, palaeography and anthropology, this book studies the problem of Christianisation in early Medieval Gaul from a cultural point of view. While exploiting a huge range of primary and secondary material, Dr. Hen does not confine himself to a functional analysis of various cultural and religious activities in Merovingian Gaul, but goes on to assess the consequences and implications of such activities for the people themselves, and for the subsequent developments in the Carolingian period.

One marker of the majesty of ancient Rome is its surviving architectural legacy, the stunning remains of which are scattered throughout the circum-Mediterranean landscape. Surprisingly, one truly remarkable aspect of this heritage remains relatively unknown. There exists beneath the waters of the Mediterranean the physical remnants of a vast maritime infrastructure that sustained and connected the western worldÕs first global empire and economy. The key to this incredible accomplishment and to the survival of structures in the hostile environment of the sea for two thousand years was maritime concrete, a building material invented and then employed by Roman builders on a grand scale to construct harbor installations anywhere they were needed, rather than only in locations with advantageous geography or topography. This book explains how the Romans built so successfully in the sea with their new invention. The story is a stimulating mix of archaeological, geological, historical and chemical research, with relevance to both ancient and modern technology. It also breaks new ground in bridging the gap between science and the humanities by integrating analytical materials science, history, and archaeology, along with underwater exploration. The book will be of interest to anyone interested in Roman architecture and engineering, and it will hold special interest for geologists and mineralogists studying the material characteristics of pyroclastic volcanic rocks and their alteration in seawater brines. The demonstrable durability and longevity of Roman maritime concrete structures may be of special interest to engineers working on cementing materials appropriate for the long-term storage of hazardous substances such as radioactive waste. A pioneering methodology was used to bore into maritime structures both on land and in the sea to collect concrete cores for testing in the research laboratories of the CTG Italcementi Group, a leading cement producer in Italy, the University of Berkeley, and elsewhere. The resulting mechanical, chemical and physical analysis of 36 concrete samples taken from 11 sites in Italy and the eastern Mediterranean have helped fill many gaps in our knowledge of how the Romans built in the sea. To gain even more knowledge of the ancient maritime technology, the directors of the Roman Maritime Concrete Study (ROMACONS) engaged in an ambitious and unique experimental archaeological project Ð the construction underwater of a reproduction of a Roman concrete pier or pila. The same raw materials and tools available to the ancient builders were employed to produce a reproduction concrete structure that appears to be remarkably similar to the ancient one studied during ROMACONÕs fieldwork between 2002-2009. This volume reveals a remarkable and unique archaeological project that highlights the synergy that now exists between the humanities and science in our continuing efforts to understand the past. It will quickly become a standard research tool for all interested in Roman building both in the sea and on land, and in the history and chemistry of marine concrete. The authors also hope that the data and observations it presents will stimulate further research by scholars and students into related topics, since we have so much more to learn in the years ahead.
