  • Chapter V Educational Provision in Wales Part
    CHAPTER V EDUCATIONAL PROVISION IN WALES PART (i) : SCHOOLS In medieval Wales it was the Church which assumed the greatest responsibility for schooling, bardic schools and possibly the households of the Welsh lords being also centres of learning. The English universities, and to a lesser extent, the continental universities and the inns of court, provided further or higher 1 education for the ablest talents of Wales. In England, by the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, lay involvement in educati4n increased, as the needs of the Crown, the aristocracy and the towns expanded, and this was also faintly apparent in as scattered and 2 rural a society as Wales. The revival of classical learning emphasised anew the educational qualities required of administrators and all useful members of the state and which were also to be expected of gentlemen. At a time of social change, in Wales as in England, education became a 3 means of asserting and of reinforcing social distinctions. Neither the schools nor the universities were particularly suited 4 to the task of preparing young gentlemen. The newer grammar schools tried tEadapt, and there were a few signs that the universities and the inns of court, though still largely institutions of professional instruction, made some concessions towards providing a more general and 5 popular education. The essential conservatism of these places meant 6 that they were not in the van of intellectual progress. Rather, they were places for disseminating received and accepted truths intermixed with north European humanism and religious ideology, giving force to 333. 7 the ideal of wise and moral service and leadership.

  • New College Library Benefactors' Book 1601
    New College Library Benefactors’ Book 1601-1610: An Edition College libraries acquired books in the medieval and early modern periods overwhelmingly by donation or bequest, not by purchase. We only enter a world in which colleges actively spent money on books later on in the period, from around 1700. If therefore we want to know what was being read, or what could be read, in the colleges in the centuries before that point, we must turn above all to the library benefaction registers that almost all colleges in Oxford and Cambridge maintained. These registers came into existence in the seventeenth century, following the creation of the first such register by Thomas Bodley, the refounder of the university library, which opened its renovated doors in 1602.1 As a tool for eliciting further gifts Bodley’s registrum donationum was a success, and the colleges—it must be said without great urgency—followed Bodley’s example. All Souls had been planning a register from 1601-2, and was ready to display it by 1606; Christ Church followed in 1614; St John’s by 1615; New College in 1617; Trinity in c. 1626; Queen’s in 1629; Jesus in c. 1630; Oriel in c. 1636; and Magdalen in 1637, so by that point roughly half the colleges had donation registers. These were typically large, fine volumes, written on vellum. Some colleges also took this opportunity to record books that had been presented in earlier times. On the one hand such retrospective entries emphasised to potential benefactors how long pious benefaction had been a college tradition, and so presumably increased the pressure on the living to imitate the dead; but on the other hand such entries also allowed the college librarians—and office that was coming into existence in several colleges at about this time—an opportunity to gather in one place information otherwise scattered about their collections.

  • Donne and the Sidereus Nuncius
    Donne and the Sidereus Nuncius: Astronomy, Method and Metaphor in 1611 by John Piers Russell Brown A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by John Piers Russell Brown 2009 Abstract: “Donne and the Sidereus nuncius: Astronomy, Method and Metaphor in 1611” Piers Brown, PhD., Department of English, University of Toronto, 2009 John Donne’s poetry has long been famous for its metaphysical conceits, which powerfully register the impact of the “New Philosophy,” yet the question of how his work is implicated in the new forms of knowledge-making that exploded in the early seventeenth century has remained unanswered. “Donne and the Sidereus nuncius” examines the relation between method and metaphor on the cusp of the Scientific Revolution by reading the poetry and prose of Donne in the context of developments in early modern astronomy, anatomy and natural philosophy. I focus primarily on two texts, Ignatius, his Conclave (1610) and the Anniversaries (1611-2), which are linked not only by chronology, but also by their mutual concern with the effects of distorted perception on the process of understanding the universe. Written directly after the publication of Galileo’s Sidereus nuncius (1610), these works offer a historicized perspective on Donne’s changing use of scientific metaphor in relation to the transformative crux of the discovery of the telescope, which provided a startling new optical metaphor for the process of knowing. In this context, “Donne and the Sidereus nuncius” considers the conceptual work performed by scientific metaphor as part of an ongoing transformation from emblematic to analogic figuration.

  • New College Notes 5 (2014), No. 7 Property of a Late Warden, 1613
    Property of a Late Warden, 1613 with Some More on the Ryves Family The last issue of New College Notes included a Note on three members of the early-modern college dynasty of Ryves—George the warden, Thomas the lawyer, and Bruno the journalist and ecclesiastic.1 Since then, I have chanced across two interesting documents which I present here, and we also have a new book for the library, being a copy of Bruno Ryves’s Mercurius Rusticus (London, 1685), which we have just purchased. The first document is the inventory of the possessions of George Ryves, taken when he died in the lodgings in 1613; and the second is a letter from Thomas, enclosing some money, to a famous New College scholar in prison for debt, the chronologist Thomas Lydiat. Finally, I present Bruno Ryves’s classic account of the desecration of Winchester Cathedral in the civil war, being one of the newsletters of Mercurius Rusticus. I. Elsewhere in this issue, in the Note on John Reinolds,2 I have presented a transcript of what he possessed at the time of his death as a fellow in 1614, when he was probably thirty. The previous year, the Warden himself had died in college, in his mid-forties. Warden Ryves owned considerably more than the unwealthy, poetical don Reinolds, and readers are invited to compare the two lists to get a sense of how lives differed around the Old Quad. Ryves’ inventory is held in the university archives.3 The valuations, estimates made by the officials who surveyed Ryves’ goods and chattels, are expressed in the money of the time, being pounds (‘l’ or ‘li’, for libri), shillings (‘s’, for solidi), and pence (‘d’, for denarii), where £1 = 20s = 240d, and where numbers are expressed in roman numerals, so ‘x’, ‘v’, ‘i’ for 10, 5, 1, and a sole or final ‘i’ is typically written as ‘j’, so ‘iijl vjs iiijd’ means £3 6s 4d.

    Introduction A new disciplinary awareness in astronomy arose in the late sixteenth century. In the centuries before the publication of Nicolaus Copernicus’ (1473-1543) De revolutionibus orbium coelestium in 1543, natural philosophy and mathematics were considered separate university subjects with relatively no overlap. Natural philosophy was the search for either physical or natural causes, whereas mathematics “sought demonstrations based only on the formal properties of magnitudes. The two domains related to radically different kinds of questions about the world.”1 The disciplinary boundaries that existed between the two were so entrenched among scholars that challenges to these boundaries persisted well into the seventeenth century. Moreover, natural philosophy was clearly more prominent and important than mathematics, as the latter was rarely emphasized in the universities. The publication of Copernicus’ De revolutionibus helped create a disciplinary awareness in astronomy. Beginning in this period, the role of the astronomer became much less “fixed” and “static,” and became more of a “dynamic, evolving, ‘negotiated’ process. .”2 Astronomy steadily became a study to be pursued independently and with a renewed vigor that was unparalleled in previous centuries. The emergence of this disciplinary consciousness was furthered by printers who published astronomical treatises by individuals from different parts of Europe and even from different confessions.3 In order to comprehend this new awareness in disciplinary astronomy in its fullest context, it is first necessary to briefly describe the relations between natural philosophy and astronomy and the views of three key figures in this period – 1 Peter Dear, Discipline & Experience: The Mathematical Way in the Scientific Revolution (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1995), 167.
