Italian term or phrase: chiosa ermetica
(temi) per nulla scalfiti da una certa chiosa ermetica che li pervade.

Non sono sicura di avere interpretato bene.. pensavo:
... not at all affected by a sort of obscurity that permeates/pervades them.

Che dite? grazie mille

xxxsofiablu: 06:36 May 18, 2006: "Chiosa" qui mi risulta incomprensibile. A meno di ricevere una dritta illuminante, io manterrei la tua interpretazione, che pare più che plausibile. Buona giornata e buon lavoro! -
Laura T.: 10:15 May 18, 2006: Dear Wendell, I used the term "interpreted" because for me it's not at all clear the association between the word chiosa (that means explanation) and ermetica (that should be referred to something obscure..) I doubt it is a refuso, but thank you for your suggestion, I will think about it!
Laura T.: 10:01 May 22, 2006: Grazie comunque per l'aiuto sofiablu e wendell!!

Explanation:
E` possibile un refuso per chiusura o chiostra?? I'm wondering only because you use the word "interpreted" and that led me to think that perhaps the phrase came from a transcript or oral presentation and had been misheard. Sorry not to be more certain. (NB, pero`, il sito sotto, which gives some interesting and perhaps illuminating etymologies of the word.)
