Original title: A sapientia christiana e a analogia das artes liberais em um Sermão de São Vicente Ferrer (1350-1419)

This article contains an exposition and an analysis on the theme of the Liberal Arts in a sermon of Saint Vincent Ferrer, renowned Dominican Valencian preacher during the passage between the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. We intend to show that the Liberal Arts are addressed by the sermonist within the traditional theoretical scope of classification of sciences in the medieval period, as branches of knowledge for the service of the higher science, Theology, to avail the scholastic dictum philosophia ancilla theologiae. In his exposition, the author follows the medieval didactic principles of analogical thinking, the figurative hermeneutics and the allegorical exegesis of the Bible, by which he ensnares the meanings and properties of each science or Liberal Art, namely Grammar, Logic and Rhetoric, the Trivium sciences, and Music, Arithmetic, Geometry and Astrology, Quadrivium sciences, in a web of metaphorical and analogical relations aimed, at the end, to confer spiritual, religious and moral meaning and utility to each of them, as well as subordinate them to the royal domain of the sapientia christiana.

Original title: Lucrècia Borja (1480-1519): víctima i model de romàntics, prerafaelites i victorians

With the success of the theatrical drama of Victor Hugo and Donizetti’s opera, the historical character of Lucrezia Borgia became a literary theme for artists of the nineteenth century. A beautiful woman, powerful and prepared, she met all the conditions for creators of different movements used her to embody the fears of the century. Even today, the figure of Lucrezia Borgia is determined and conditioned by the popularized image in the Eight hundred in painting presented as the femme fatale in the late fifteenth century was a angelicata donna. Despite the reaction of historians like Gilbert or Gregorovius, who try to reconstruct the Duchess of Ferrara with the authentic documents, Lucrezia Borgia will be too lush Mediterranean to Victorian morals.

Original title: Estudio bibliométrico de la producción científica sobre Filoctetes durante el periodo de 1961 a 2015. Aproximación a los valores educativos implicados

The legend of Philoctetes has some main features, with some variations, that are repeated in the mythological tradition: hero of Greek mythology, who was excluded and abandoned on the island of Lemnos and then returned to the conquest of Troy. This study has focused on the bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on the figure of Philoctetes during the period 1961-2015.The aim was to describe and characterize the state of the scientific literature on this subject for use in teaching posible educational value of myth. Using eight specific bibliometric indicators, we have formed a final sample that shows 124 documents, identified as articles and obtained in the database Web of Science. According to results, it has been shown, on the one hand, poor and irregular scientific production of 124 articles over 54 years, with a range from two to eight articles in the 10 most productive journals. The majority are from Anglo-Saxon countries and authorship of a single author. On the other hand, it has been found that the most productive topic has been Philoctetes Sophocles tragedy. It has also been approached from other research areas such as education, medicine, psychology, psychiatry, sociology and religion. The findings conclude that it is a little researched topic and, given the diversity of areas that have been treated, it has a multidisciplinary potential to continue in their study and application to education.
