TCS34303 - tri-stimulus color sensor 🔧🌈📸

This weekend, we whipped up a Stemma QT breakout board for the TCS34303 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/ams-osram-usa-inc/TCS34303-OLGA8-LF-T-RDP/7428283) a 'tri-stimulus' color sensor. Most color sensors we've stocked have a red/green/blue/clear diode. This sensor can provide CIE 1931 XYZ output, useful for color correction, or photo/videography. To make it like our old TCS34725 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1334), we added a white neutral LED. Since it has a 1.8V sensor, we had to add a lot of level shifting to make it compatible with 3 or 5V power and logic. Coming soon.

An introduction to textual criticism, illustrated by the stemma of the manuscripts of Herodotus’ Histories

    “Textual criticism

Textual criticism: the study of medieval manuscripts in order to reconstruct ancient texts.

Ancient sources have been passed down to us in medieval manuscripts, which were copied manually. Unfortunately, it is impossible for humans to copy a long text without making errors, which means that our manuscripts are imperfect. The Italian scholar Angelo Poliziano (1454-1494, “Politian”) was the first to realize that if you looked carefully at the errors in existing manuscripts, you might reconstruct a lost original. His own discovery was that all manuscripts of Valerius Flaccus’ Argonautica had been derived from the same book, which had contained several pages in the wrong sequence. All manuscripts contained the same error, proving that it had been in the original text (“archetype”).

This was the beginning of what is now called “textual criticism”. Modern editions of ancient texts always have a list of the manuscripts and a history of the way in which the text has been passed down, the “tradition”. Usually, there’s also a family tree (“stemma”) of the available and reconstructed manuscripts. If there are many texts, classicists can even recognize families that go back to different archetypes, which can be used to reconstruct an archetype behind the archetypes. Here is an example, based on the manuscripts of Herodotus' Histories. There are, in fact, forty-six manuscripts, but most of them can be eliminated, leaving only seven relevant manuscripts, called A, B, C, D, R, S, and V.

In this stemma, manuscripts A, B, and C are related to each other, because they are based on the same manuscript, which is lost but can be reconstructed. It is indicated as [a]. Something similar can be said of R, S, and V, which are derived from [r]. These are two families. Comparison of D and [r] helps us reconstruct [d], which in turn can be compared to [a]. In this way, we can make a reconstruction of the archetype, [x]. All known manuscripts are based on this archetype, which does not mean that this is the original text, as written by Herodotus himself. However, [x] comes closer to the original than any of the existing manuscripts.

A modern edition of an ancient text usually has a "critical apparatus". An example can be seen in the picture: the prologue of the Gospel of John. The main text is the best reconstruction the editors could make, and at the foot of the page, you can see variant readings. In the column to the right, you can see references to related Biblical texts.

A real scholar is, of course, satisfied only if there is independent proof that this method is correct. Fortunately, this exists. Among the papyri discovered in the Egyptian desert, texts have been discovered that were identical to reconstructions that had been made much earlier. It is, of course, only a small test, but it sufficient to prove that the principles of reconstruction are sound.

Politian was the first to realize the potential and later classicists have improved this method. His younger contemporary Desiderius Erasmus (1466-1536) introduced the rule known as lectio difficicilior potior. Another improvement was the recognition of “horizontal tradition”, which takes place when a copyist uses more than one manuscript to make his own text. In its simplest form, he copied one text and inserted variants of the second text in the margin of his book. This is of course easy to recognize, but things can be quite difficult when the copyist, on every occasion, chose the variant he thought best, now preferring the first and then the second text.

Textual criticism has been increasingly refined and the results have become progressively better. In its present form, it was proposed by the Swedish jurist Carl Johan Schlyter (1795-1888). It was so enthusiastically propagated by the German classicist Karl Lachmann (1793-1851), that it often called the Lachmann Method. It was the model for the biological theory that humans and monkeys have the same ancestor; in other words, modern evolutionism is inspired by textual criticism.

Gli stemmi del Portale di San Gregorio a Pietracupa

Forse in questo studio, la parte più difficile, la si è trovata nel tentativo di date una connotazione alle due insegne gentilizie, che si pongono ai due lati dell'Agnus Dei, nell'architrave trecentesca della chiesa si San Gregorio, alle porte di Pietracupa.

Uno scudo liscio, tipico del basso medioevo, con tre caprioli sormontati da due rosette, in campo rosso, apparentemente dalle tracce di pigmento purpureo, in tutto il pezzo.

Nonostante si siano consultati tutti gli armoirali, codici araldici ed eventuali compendi delle nobili famiglie del Regno di Napoli, non si è riusciti a trovare assolutamente nulla che possa chiarirci le idee sulla loro origine, se non alcune idee di carattere empirico, e da trattare con le pinze volendo.

Già mesi fa, si era discusso di una probabile appartenenza al committente Roberto di Pietracupa, feudatario di questa terra, al tempo.

Nulla si sa di certo sul suo conto, delle informazioni frammentarie, che non danno neppure possibilità di conoscere il suo casato di appartenenza, di origine verosimilmente francese.

Però, gli attributi di questi blasoni non sono estranei al contesto della Regione, visto che tra le signorie feudali, vi era quella dei "de Ligny" o "d'Alagno", signori di Campochiaro, e muniti di uno stemma con tre caprioli in campo rosso.

Questa peculiarità, ha permesso di ipotizzare, che Roberto di Pietracupa, potrebbe essere appartenuto al casato francese di Ligny, oppure esser parte di una signoria collaterale, con caratteristiche araldiche, davvero simili, come si può vedere nello stemma del palazzo Ruffo di Napoli, in basso a destra.

Un'altra informazione ci era giunta tramite una chiacchierata, diversi mesi fa, con il parroco don Orlando Di Tella, che rammentava di aver visto, alcuni anni addietro, l'insegna di una famiglia che ebbe a che fare con Venafro.

Egli non aveva torto in effetti, perché tra i principi di Venafro, risultano essere annoverati gli Spinelli, del cui ramo, quello di Giovinazzo, era in origine composto da una spina di pesce, sormontata da due rosette, in campo rosso, molto simile, ma totalmente diverso dal contesto precedente, facendoci restare fermi, al momento, sulla nostra prima ipotesi.

Il Registro Araldico Italiano e l’eredità degli antenati

Il Registro Araldico Italiano (RAI) ha pubblicato la sua seconda versione cartacea. Dalla sua nascita, nel 2007, in cui si costituiva come archivio sia cartaceo che digitale, il RAI ha registrato il suo articolo di censimento numero 700. Con questo autorevole traguardo raggiunto il RAI ha pubblicato un secondo volume cartaceo. Di per sé, come oggetto, il volume si presenta già adeguato alla…

Non capisco perchè il video di Tonali che guarda San Siro ha un sacco di commenti del tipo "Ci manchi Sandro" "Torna Sandro" "Ti vogliamo tanto bene" però quando Gigio torna a giocare a San Siro con la Nazionale sono solo fischi e insulti.

i piu grandi misteri della fede, anon, sono:

Unità e Trinità di Dio

Incarnazione, Passione, Morte e Risurrezione di Nostro Signore Gesù Cristo

Il trattamento riservato a Gigione diverso da quello riservato a Sandrino nonostante abbiano fatto le stesse scelte di carriera palesemente guidate dalla stessa forza: il cash
