HISTORY. Art. CCLV. The Recuyell of the History s of Troye : composed and drawen out ofdyverce Bookes of Latin into Frenshe, by the right venerable Per- sone and worshipfull Man Raoul le Feure, Freest, and Chapelayn unto the ryght noble, gloryous, and mighty Prince in his Tyme, Philip Due of Bur- goyne, of Brabant, Sfc. in the Yere 1464, and trans lated and drawen out of Frenshe into Englishe ; by Willyam Caxton, Mercer of the Cyte of Lon don, at the comaundment of the ryght, hygh, mighty, and vertuouse Princesse, his redoubtyd Lady Margarete, Duchesse of Burgoyne, 8fc. whiche said Translation and Werke was begonne in Brugis, Sfc. the first of March, 1468, and ended in the Holy Cyte of Colen, 19 Sept. 1471. This is generally understood to be the first book printed by Caxton; though an ingenious and learned gentleman has argued for the probability of his having before printed the original, viz. " Le Recueil des His tories de Troyes." Caxton, having printed this abroad, did not import the art itself till he returned to England a year or two afterwards He concludes in the Colo phon of this book with the following words : " For- VOL. IV. B 2 asmoche as age creepeth on me daily, and febleth all the bodye, and also because I have promysid diverce gentilmen, and to my frendes, to address to hem, as hastely as I might, this said book, therefore I have practysed and lerned, at my grete charge and dispence, to ordeyne this sayde book in prynte, after the manner and forme as ye may here see, and is not wreton with penne and ynke, as other bokes ben, to thende that all men may have them attones; for all the bookes of this storye, named the Recule of the Historeys of Troyes, thus enprynted, as ye here see, were begonne in oon day, and also fynyshid in oon day," &c* Art. CCLV1. The Seige and Conquest of Iherusa- lem,with many other Hystoryes therein comprysed: and of the Meseases of the Cristen Men in the Holy Londe; and of their Releef Sfc. and how Godeffroy of Boloyne was first Kyng of the Latyns in that Royamme ; and of his Deth. Translated and reduced out of Frenske into Englyshe, by me symple Persone Wylliam Caxton. Emprynted in thAbbay of Westmester, xx of Novembrejr 1481. " The end (or design) of this performance, Caxton tells us in his Colophon, was, that every Christian man may be the better encouraged to enterprise war for the defence of Christendom, and to recover the said city of Jerusalem, in which our Saviour sufFred death, &c. Also, that Christians might go thither * See Bib. Har. III. 193. Herbert's Typ. 1. 2. f See Herbert, I. 35. 3 in pilgrimage, with strong hand, to expel the Turks and Saracens out of the same, that our Lord might be there served, &c. Matter of fact appears to have been the chief pursuit of the author in this history ; and, though some " mervallous workes" do occur in it ; ye it seems not so over-run with romance, as some other histories of this age and subject are. Our translator says he presents this book to King Edward IV. which very presentation-book was sold in the auction of Mr. Rich. Smith's library in 1682. It was much read by our old warriors.* Art. CCLVII. " Here begynnith the firste volum of Sir John Froissart, of the Crony cles of Eng- lande, Fraunce, Spayne, Porlyngale, Scotlande, Bretaine, Flounders : and other places adjoynynge.

    Fur Dress, Art, and Class Identity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England and Holland By Elizabeth McFadden A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art and the Designated Emphasis in Dutch Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Elizabeth Honig, Chair Professor Todd Olson Professor Margaretta Lovell Professor Jeroen Dewulf Fall 2019 Abstract Fur Dress, Art, and Class Identity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England and Holland by Elizabeth McFadden Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art Designated Emphasis in Dutch Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Elizabeth Honig, Chair My dissertation examines painted representations of fur clothing in early modern England and the Netherlands. Looking at portraits of elites and urban professionals from 1509 to 1670, I argue that fur dress played a fundamentally important role in actively remaking the image of middle- class and noble subjects. While demonstrating that fur was important to establishing male authority in court culture, my project shows that, by the late sixteenth century, the iconographic status and fashionability of fur garments were changing, rendering furs less central to elite displays of magnificence and more apt to bourgeois demonstrations of virtue and gravitas. This project explores the changing meanings of fur dress as it moved over the bodies of different social groups, male and female, European and non-European. My project deploys methods from several disciplines to discuss how fur’s shifting status was related to emerging technologies in art and fashion, new concepts of luxury, and contemporary knowledge in medicine and health.

    An Offer of Help Resistivity and Auger Survey on Silk Hill

    November 2020 Dear Member It is that time again, the time to write, edit and distribute the month’s Newsletter soon comes around. I hope that this edition finds you well. The present Covid-19 situation continues but there are some signs of hope. Progress is being made with at least two vaccines and the results sound very promising. But I don’t want us to be dominated by this invisible pest. So, for the next hour (or 5 minutes depending upon your attention span) enjoy reading all about, among other things the previous owner of Lindley House which may result in a bit of a discussion. I have received an article from our friend Walter Baynes, and it can be seen that Walter is well skilled in producing excellent articles when he is not busy elsewhere. I did manage to get out and about between lockdowns (although it did rather feel as I was putting my head above the parapet) and have also been researching the Heraldic Shields I started off last month. I know just how disappointed you will be without a quiz, so I have included some for you. Don’t forget to send me any ideas, suggestions, articles, jokes, photographs, indeed anything you like. I will include them in the bulletins or the monthly Newsletter as and when they arrive. I have been royally entertained by a number of you with your jokes and videos. Thank you very much to all who have submitted items. Come along, don’t be shy! Better get on with it! I am working on a big quiz for December so any contributions would be very welcome.

  • Introduction

    Introduction

    INTRODUCTION. THE valuable treatise which is now for the first time committed to the press is the work of one of the most laborious and judicious antiquaries that the seventeenth century produced. Many of our countrymen, of various ranks and in various branches of learning, were indeed distinguished at that period for a wide and sound eru- dition, and for a generous devotion to historical inquiry, which have never been surpassed by any generation of scholars. It was the age which comprehended the great names of Coke and Bacon, and Camden, Selden, Somner, Spelman, Evelyn, Digby, D'Ewes, Ash- mole, Dugdale, Junius, Usher, Gill, Cotton, Savile, Whelock, and, though last not least, Twysden. Yet, amidst all this company of earnest, learned, and accomplished men, sir Roger Twysden occupies no secondary place. Like Selden and sir Symonds D'Ewes, he was engaged in the business of active political life, during the most exciting and troublous period of our history: he was a country gentleman, deeply mixed up with the affairs of his county; a careful landlord, responsible for the conduct of a large estate, and the welfare of a numerous tenantry; a jiistice of peace, and in the commission of oyer and terminer; a commissioner in the matter of ejected ministers; a deputy lieutenant at a time when lieutenancy was really a military function, and imposed other duties than wearing an uniform at a levee; last of all, he was a husband, and the father of CAMD. soc. b Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

    PALGRAVE STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF FINANCE THE SUCCESS OF ENGLISH LAND TAX ADMINISTRATION 1643–1733 STEPHEN PIERPOINT Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance Series Editors D’Maris Coffman Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment University College London London, UK Tony K. Moore University of Reading Crewe, UK Martin Allen Fitzwilliam Museum, Department of Coins and Medals University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK Sophus Reinert Harvard Business School Cambridge, MA, USA The study of the history of fnancial institutions, markets, instruments and concepts is vital if we are to understand the role played by fnance today. At the same time, the methodologies developed by fnance aca- demics can provide a new perspective for historical studies. Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance is a multi-disciplinary effort to empha- sise the role played by fnance in the past, and what lessons historical experiences have for us. It presents original research, in both authored monographs and edited collections, from historians, fnance academics and economists, as well as fnancial practitioners.
