Un antichista di fronte alle leggi razziali
Una storia normale in tempi di criminale anormalità. Questa, in estrema sintesi, la tragica vicenda di Mario Segre, uno dei più promettenti studiosi italiani di epigrafia greca, scomparso ad Auschwitz, assieme alla moglie e al figlio, nella primavera del 1944. Nato trentanove anni prima a Torino in una famiglia di religione ebraica, nel corso degli anni Trenta aveva condotto numerose campagne di studio epigrafico nelle isole italiane dell’Egeo, guadagnandosi la stima e l’apprezzamento di alcuni tra i più illustri antichisti del suo tempo: Gaetano De Sanctis, Alessandro Della Seta, Arnaldo Momigliano, per citare solo i nomi maggiori. Poi, le leggi antisemite volute dal regime fascista sconvolsero la sua vita lavorativa e privata. La storia di questo uomo mite e gentile viene per la prima volta ricostruita integralmente, calandola nel contesto storico in cui Segre si trovò, suo malgrado, a vivere: un punto d’osservazione privilegiato in grado di farci cogliere tutta l’assurda tragicità della persecuzione antisemita.

Anatolian Historical Phonology
This study represents the first comprehensive treatment of the sound system of the Hittite language and its historical development in a quarter-century. It is the very first attempt at a systematic description of the sound systems of all the ancient Indo-European languages of Anatolia. It codifies the results of a generation of collective scholarship which has made some dramatic advances, offers a number of new hypotheses, and frames the problems which remain to be solved. The contents will be of interest to Indo-Europeanists for the new perspectives on the crucial Anatolian subgroup and to scholars of second-millennium Anatolia for the up-to-date descriptions of the extant Indo-European languages of that era.
Music, Place, and Identity in Italian Urban Soundscapes circa 1550-1860
Music, Place, and Identity in Italian Urban Soundscapes circa 1550-1860 presents new perspectives on the role music played in the physical, cultural, and civic spaces of Italian cities from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. Across thirteen chapters, contributors explore the complex connections between sound and space within these urban contexts, demonstrating how music and sound were intimately connected to changing social and political practices. The volume offers a critical redefinition of the core concept of soundscape, considering musical practices through the lenses of territory, space, representation, and identity, in five parts: Soundscape, Phonosphere, and Urban History Urban Soundscapes across Time Urban Soundscapes and Acoustic Communities Urban Soundscapes in Literary Sources Reconstructing Urban Soundscapes in the Digital Era Music, Place, and Identity in Italian Urban Soundscapes circa 1550-1860 reframes our understanding of Italian music history beyond models of patronage, investigating how sounds and musics have contributed to the construction of human identities and communities.
The Purity of Kingship
The focus of this work is the importance of mental and physical purity in religious matters. For the Hittites, religious matters come close to daily life, and in this case the 'daily life' of the King of the Hittites is the subject of study. In the unique group of texts brought together here for the first time, the Great King himself (the person nearest to the gods) was felt contaminated. Professor Van Den Hout investigates the fascinating rituals and background connected with this situation.
