Copyright Disclaimer
For the purposes of copyright regulations, it may be useful to state the following:
- EJGS is a member of CELJ, The Council of Editors of Learned Journals.
- EJGS is identified by the ISSN 1476-9859.
- the ISBN publisher prefix for EJGS is 1 904371.
- EJGS may not be printed, forwarded, or otherwise distributed for any reasons other than personal use.
- this site is a non-profit, fully educational initiative.
- it is intended as a resource facility provided for the personal use of individual scholars and students interested in Gadda and Italian literature in general.
- the material in the Gadda Texts section is intended for on-line consultation only (indeed, printing for those pages is disabled by default).
- copyright material used in this site, be it texts or images, is utilised either with the owner’s consent or according to the terms of the «fair use» legislation allowed for exclusively educational purposes.
- the copyright of any original material remains firmly with the respective copyright owner.
- no loss of profit to the said owner(s) is envisaged when proper use is made of this site.
- quotations and excerpts from Gadda’s Collected Works are taken from the Garzanti 1988-1993 Isella edition courtesy of Garzanti Editore, Milan, and of the Centro Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), Pisa.
- the vast majority of Gadda’s photos were reproduced from the Archivio Effigie collection, Milan. They have, without exception, been electronically restored, enhanced and modified in various ways by EJGS © 2000-2024 by G. & F. Pedriali.
For those interested in this kind of things, here are some technical details about the implementation of EJGS:
- this site is made and maintained on an Apple Mac Pro 2x2.8GHz Quad-Core and on an Apple iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz 24".
- FP does most of her editing on the Mac Pro in Dreamweaver CS4. Once or twice a year, GP goes over the code by hand, with a little help from BBedit 8x, to give it a good scrub over and check that things are ticking along just fine. As shown by the nice-looking ticks from WC3, the website is now fully XHTML 1.0 compliant. It is also CSS 3 compliant, and it is doing fairly well in terms of accessibility–although there is still room for improvement there.
- images are mostly scanned via a CanonScan FB636U USB scanner, then edited/manipulated in Adobe Photoshop CS4.
- scanned texts were OCRead in Omnipage Pro X and proof-read in Microsoft Word 2008.
We are grateful to the University of Edinburgh and DELC for generous provision of disk space on the Arts server and in particular to Kaye Brewster for her assistance in setting up the website back in 2000. Thanks are also due to Anthony Quinn and Anne-Marie Scott for their continuing support.
