This volume is the first in a new series of editions of Coptic-language "magical" manuscripts from Egypt, written on papyrus, ostraca, parchment, and paper, and dating to between the fourth and twelfth centuries CE. Their texts attest to non-institutional rituals intended to bring about changes in the lives of those who used them - heal disease, curse enemies, bring about love or hatred, or see into the future. These manuscripts represent rich sources of information on daily life and lived religion of Egypt in the last centuries of Roman rule and the first centuries after the Arab conquest, giving us glimpses of the hopes and fears of people of this time, their conflicts and problems, and their vision of the human and superhuman worlds. This volume presents 37 new editions and descriptions of manuscripts, focusing on formularies or "handbooks", those texts containing instructions for the performance of rituals. Each of these is accompanied by a history of its acquisition, a material description, and presented with facing text and translations, tracings of accompanying images, and explanatory notes to aid in understanding the text

We may dare to ask about rationale behind the recent devotion caused by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Whether it could be produced by the fear or, by contrast, it stems from the inner ignorance and uncertainty that blind us by attempting to give a quick explanation to a massive technological disruption directly caused by COVID19. AI is not a new phenomenon as such, despite the fact that what it could be new is the way AI is already interfering in citizens' daily life functions and services shaping them with a deep intensity as a result of the processing capacity of AI. Nonetheless, (i) little is known so far about the relationship between AI and governance, or what is worst, (ii) AI is being deployed without considering democratic accountability and far from our public eye and scrutiny. Acknowledging the complexity of such topic, this article constructively aims to analyse the ongoing technopolitical transformations occurring in the aftermath of the coronavirus crisis for the governance model of the Basque Country. This article is targeted to the political left (either Basque or Spanish nationalist) in pursuit of avoid delaying the work that should be implemented in response to questions, challenges, and policies for XXI. century algorithmic governance. The article concludes through three-intertwined-layer approach: (i) the first approach lists AI functional uses; (ii) the second approach presents brefly several AI projects being currently developed in different European countries; (iii) ultimately, a strategic roadmap lead to stakeholders in the Basque Country is outlined.

Aquest article postula la possibilitat de precisar un lloc d'arrelament entre les dones escriptores des de la condició d'exili en la formulació escriptuària. La condició d'exili (interior o exterior), soferta al llarg de la segona meitat del segle XX per raons polítiques entre els intel·lectuals argentins, és més densa en el cas de les dones que escriuen. Condició que es pot rastrejar formalment a les escriptures, les dones observades en aquest plantejament, Tununa Mercado i María Negroni, aconsegueixen fer i fer-se un lloc des d'eixa coordenada aportant una altra manera de fer literatura.

En este artículo se dará cuenta de ese lugar desde dos de sus novelas: Yo nunca te prometí la eternidad (2005) y La Anunciación (2007), respectivamente. ; Artikulu honek erbestealditik idazten duten emakumeentzat idazketa-formulazioan sustraitze-toki bat zehazteko aukera defendatzen du. XX. mendearen bigarren erdialdean, arrazoi politikoak zirela eta, Argentinako intelektualek jasandako erbestealdia (barnekoa zein kanpokoa) larriagoa izan zen emakumezko idazleen artean. Emakume horien idazketetan formalki ikus daiteke erbesteratuak izatearen arrastoa. Lan honetan aztertutako emakumeek, Tutuna Mercadok eta María Negronik, bizitzan beren tokia topatzea lortzen dute eta literatura egiteko beste modu bat eskaintzen digute. Artikulu honetan, toki horren berri emango dugu haien bi eleberri oinarri hartuta: Yo nunca te prometí la eternidad (2005) eta La Anunciación (2007), hurrenez hurren.
