Honorary Membership. -At the October meeting of the Council, Geoffrey Keynes, author of the “Bibliog- raphy of William Blake,” lately published by the Grolier Club, was elected an Honorary Foreign Cor- responding member of the Club. A Bequest to the Club. -One of the chief interests of the late Hamilton B. Tompkins was the collection of prints suitable for extra-illustrating “Franklin in France” by Edward E. Hale and Edward E. Hale, Jr. 74 In his will he bequeathed the work, which he had en- larged to six volumes, to the Club, together with a sum of money for binding it suitably. The books have recently arrived and, as soon as they have been bound, will be on exhibition in the Library. They will be greatly valued, not only as an important possession, but as a token of the donor’s regard and thought for the Club. Mr. Tompkins had been a member since 1887. The House. Beyond a rearrangement of the Books in the Library and Print Room, the replacing of the descriptive labels for the Club’s collection of Bindings and the usual cleaning, there have been other im- provements during the summer. The walls and ceil- ings of the Club Room have been thoroughly cleaned and the ceilings of the Hall and Librarian’s room have been recalcimined. -
Two Missals Printed for Wynkyn De Worde
TWO MISSALS PRINTED FOR WYNKYN DE WORDE GEORGE D. PAINTER, DENNIS E. RHODES, AND HOWARD M. NIXON The British Library has recently acquired two important and exceedingly rare editions of the Sarum Missal. These mere produced in Paris m I4gj and i^ii for Wynkyn de Worde and others., and are fully described in the second and third sections of this article. The first section gives a brief general account of the printing of the Sarum Missal for the English market during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. I THE English printers of the fifteenth century seemed curiously reluctant to print the major service-books of their own national liturgy, the rite of Sarum. This apparent disinclination cannot be explained by any lack of a market for such works. The Sarum Missal, above all, was certainly in greater demand than any other single book in pre- Reformation England, for every mass-saying priest and every church or chapel in the land was obliged to own or share a copy for daily use. Yet it is a striking fact that of the twelve known editions of the Sarum Missal during the incunable period all but two were printed abroad, in Paris, Basle, Venice, or Rouen, and imported to England. The cause of this paradoxical abstention was no doubt the inability of English printers to rise to the required magnificence of type-founts and woodcut decoration, and to meet the exceptional technical demands of high-quality red-printing, music printing, and beauty of setting, which were necessary for the chief service-book of the Roman Church in England. -

Wie Was Pieter Gillis ?
Wie was Pieter Gillis ? Op 28 november 1509 werd Pieter Gillis stadsgriffier te Antwerpen. Hij bleef 23 jaar in functie tot zijn schoonzoon, Pieter de Coelenare, op 29 november 1532 zijn taken overnam. Tot in 1530 bewoonde Pieter Gillis het huis van zijn vader, De Biecorf, gelegen op de Kiekenmarkt (thans Eiermarkt) te Antwerpen. De laatste jaren van zijn leven woonde hij in het Werfstraatje (thans Heilige-Geeststraat) waar zijn derde vrouw Kathelijne Draeckx het vruchtgebruik van een huis had. Na zijn opleiding in de Antwerpse papenschool vertrok Pieter al op jonge leeftijd (14 jaar) naar de universiteit van Orléans. Daar was een gerenommeerde rechtsacademie waar heel wat Brabantse juristen gevormd werden ter voorbereiding op een functie in de stadsadministratie. Maar Pieter slaagde er aanvankelijk niet in zich door te zetten. Was hij nog te jong? Was zijn opleiding ontoereikend? Feit is dat hij terug naar huis kwam om corrector te worden in de drukkerij van Dirk Martens. In diens atelier leerde hij Erasmus kennen, van wie Martens in februari 1503 een verzamelboek, ‘Lucubratiunculae aliquot’, uitgaf en een jaar later een ‘Panegyricus’, een lofrede op Filips de Schone. Voor dat laatste werk kwam Erasmus zelf naar Antwerpen: de opdrachtbrief bij de lofrede is geschreven ‘ex officina chalcographica’. Pieter werd een vertrouweling van Erasmus en op aansporing van de Rotterdamse humanist ondernam hij een tweede poging om een titel te verwerven. In juni 1504 schreef ‘Petrus Egidii filius Nicholai Egidii de Antverpia’ zich in als student te Leuven, waarschijnlijk weer aan de rechtsfaculteit. Hij combineerde zijn studies met correctiewerk voor Dirk Martens en vanaf 1509 met zijn opdracht als griffier. -

The Library of Hélion Jouffroy a Survey and Some Additional Identifications
Quærendo 47 (2017) 199-221 brill.com/qua The Library of Hélion Jouffroy A Survey and Some Additional Identifications Gregory Hays University of Virginia Charlottesville, VA, United States [email protected] Abstract One of the notable libraries of early sixteenth-century France was that of the Rodez lawyer and canon Hélion Jouffroy (†1529), nephew of the better known cardinal Jean Jouffroy. The younger Jouffroy’s books, which included both printed volumes and man- uscripts, were dispersed after his death. Our knowledge of his holdings depends on a 1530 inventory, first published in 2012 by Matthieu Desachy. This article briefly surveys Jouffroy’s intellectual interests as they emerge from his collection, and offers some new identifications of texts and editions listed in the inventory. Keywords Hélion Jouffroy – libraries – inventories Hélion Jouffroy (†1529) was a doctor of civil law and canon of Rodez Cathedral. Like his better-known uncle, the cardinal Jean Jouffroy, he was a prodigious book collector: at the end of his life he owned well over six hundred manu- scripts and printed volumes. Our knowledge of his library rests on a 1530 inven- tory, first published in 2012 by Matthieu Desachy.1 * I am grateful to David Whitesell for comments on an earlier version of this article. 1 M. Desachy, Deux bibliophiles humanistes. Bibliothèques et manuscrits de Jean Jouffroy et d’Hélion Jouffroy (Paris 2012), pp. 105-150.

H. Beck, 2016. 304 pp. €26.95. As a number of people have noticed, Neo-Latin as a discipline seems to have reached a crossroads. After a hiatus of almost forty years, during which the field was well served by Josef IJsewijn and Dirk Sacré’s Companion to Neo-Latin Studies (Leuven, 1977), three new handbooks have recently appeared in rapid succession: Brill’s Encyclopaedia of the Neo-Latin World, ed. Philip Ford, Jan Bloemendal, and Charles Fantazzi (Leiden, 2014); The Oxford Handbook of Neo- Latin, ed. Sarah Knight and Stefan Tilg (Oxford, 2015); and A Guide to Neo-Latin Literature, ed. Victoria Moul (Cambridge, 2017). At the same time, my “Recent Trends in Neo-Latin Studies,” Renaissance Quarterly 69 (2016): 617–29 appeared, signifying that Neo-Latin has received the same recognition that English, history, and German have in the journal of record for the period in which the greatest amount of Neo-Latin literature was produced. -
