Very interesting article, Cathy. Below is the translation of the very first paragraph, that was omitted in your transcription: L'oblio non assorbirebbe i nomi di molti, se questi fossero stati meno timidi a mostrarsi, e sarebbe morto ignorato anche il Barone Galluppi, se non fosse andato in Napoli per una lite familiare, e l'avvocato di lui non lo avesse presentato al Ministro Petracatella, che gli diede la cattedra di filosofia senza concorso; cosa insolita a quei tempi. Lo Scrugli, concittadino al Galluppi, del quale seguì le dottrine, avrebbe di certo avuta fama maggiore, e più estesa, se avesse dato alla luce le sue opere. Pur ristringendoci nei confini angusti che ci sono imposti, faremo rapido cenno sulla vita e sulla scienza dello Scrugli. The oblivion would not absorb many names, if these were less shy to show themselves, and also the Baron Galluppi would have died ignored, if he had not gone to Naples for a familiar lawsuit, and his lawyer had not introduced him to the Minister Petracatella, who gave him the chair of philosophy without competition; unusual thing to those times. Mr Scrugli, fellow-citizen of Mr Galluppi, of whom he followed the doctrines, certainly would have had a greater and more extended reputation , if had given to the light his works. Although constrained in the narrow boundaries that we were given, we will give a quick summary on the life and on the science of the Scrugli. |
