Después de Jakob Nachbin –cuya inesperada muerte dejó trunco su trabajo sobre el Lucidario –, la crítica no ha prestado atención a la autoría de esta obra, con la excepción de Ana Montero, quien en su tesis doctoral aludía a la prominencia de Juan Gil de Zamora en el entorno cortesano de Sancho IV. Montero vio este rol como un elemento a favor de la tesis de la autoría egidiana de la obra, pero al mismo tiempo reconocía que la forma de

The UK currently has an assisted dying bill going through parliament and I am very conflicted about it. On the one hand, I am a member of DIGNITAS, the organization that supports assisted dying and that runs a “clinic” in Switzerland to which members who are terminally ill can travel to end their lives. I have no desire for the end of my life to be a mess of literally unbearable suffering and nausea, even with palliative care.

Knots are fascinating: they tie together topology, embodied experience, and material culture. As Thai textile artist and designer Nithikul Nimkulrath (2024) has pointed out, knots are the kind of thing we come to know “ through and in making”. One of her artworks (see photo) explorers the materiality of knots by translating a physical, hand-knotted container into a 3D render.

People are obsessed with the short-term effects of Covid, prioritising them over the longer-term impacts. "It was just like a minor cold, really", they say, perhaps not realising that [even mild cases of Covid have been shown to cause lasting cognitive impairment](https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/236034/lasting-brain-impacts-severe-covid-19-equivalent/). But I also take exception with this comparison to the common cold.

This post picks up an argument that I made in [Theses on the Metaphors of Digital-Textual History](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Metaphors-Digital-Textual-History-Stanford-Technologies/dp/1503614883/ref=sr_1_1) about facts and copyright. Namely, that although facts are exempt from copyright, factual status is not necessarily stable. Some thoughts reproduced from the book: The Catch-22 situation in which factuality finds itself is as follows: 1.

Tras José Amador de los Ríos y Joaquín y Tomàs Carreras i Artau, la cuestión de la autoría del Lucidario ha sido discutida en profundidad solamente por dos investigadores a lo largo del último siglo.

There are lots of things that I have learned about kidneys and their functions since BK virus destroyed mine. Kidneys regulate potassium in your blood; they also control phosphate levels; they remove urea from the blood stream; they take excess fluid out of your body and blood; they produce the hormones that stimulate the creation of red blood cells; and a whole host more. Kidneys are the Swiss Army Knives of internal organs.

La cuestión de la autoría del Lucidario , tocada inicialmente por Juan Eusebio Nieremberg, fue motivo de interés de los primeros filólogos e historiadores de la filosofía españoles.

Retomando lo dicho en la entrada anterior, la concepción alfonsí de la autoría parece haber influenciado las afirmaciones de J. E. Nieremberg sobre el Lucidario . A pesar de lo que sostuvo en el primer folio de su traducción latina, el Elucidarium , el jesuita defendió en Obras y días (1629) la autoría grupal del Lucidario , reconociendo que aunque Sancho IV fue su autor , en su escritura participaron

Research England has dropped the mandate for OA books in its guidance for the next REF, saying that it will, now, apply instead by 2029. It is hard to see, given the extensive trailing of this mandate, what will be different by 2029. We seem stuck in a doom loop whereby RE announces its policy decisions years in advance, but far from enough people systematically try to implement them until the last minute, by which time they say it was too late.
