January-2017-Elist.Pdf THREE COLLECTORS OF ALGAE 1. [SEAWEED ALBUM]. Collector unknown, probably 19th century. This user has pressed most of their specimens on a separate piece of paper before inserting them into the album, but some larger pieces are stuck straight 4to, ll. 137, of which 75 have seaweed specimens; there are approximately 85 in. The collector was evidently British, the two inscribed labels hinting to a pressed seaweed species in total; original black roan binding, gilt and West Country locality, or perhaps an expedition to that area: Dartmouth and blindstamped with floral tools, rubbed; spine cracked and detached at bottom, the Isles of Scilly. In each case the inscription gives the Latin names for each some loss at top of spine; patterned endpapers; leaves multi-coloured, edges species, both of them species of Delassaria algae. The user’s interest is not gilt; slightly stained throughout but in good condition; seaweed mostly intact; purely scientific but to a large degree aesthetic: care has been taken in many one specimen is missing, one has detached from its paper and is damaged, cases to achieve symmetrical or circular forms and eye-catching arrangements others have suffered some loss, else in very good condition; the last specimen of the specimens, though some designs were more successful than others. has adhered to the preceding page; inscriptions to two specimens. One note written in pencil on the back of a particularly botched bit of algae £550 attests to the user’s visual sensibilities: ‘very bad’. This is not to say that their aim is purely artistic: the significance of the two adjoining Delassaria algae A very attractive personal collection of seaweed assembled by an unknown might be their geographical origins and resulting differences, and there is owner in a generic ‘album’, with gilt-edge pages in a variety of pastel hues. evidently some attempt to place similar species in proximity. Indeed the album Seaweed collecting in the Victorian era is now considered to have been a appears to have been designed as a whole rather than assembled piece by piece prominently feminine pursuit (though there were undoubtedly male amateur as the specimens were discovered. collectors of seaweed), typified as such by the fact that Queen Victoria is said to have created an album. Women could engage in science as a social accomplishment, winning the admiration of professional, male scientists, and aiding them in their endeavours. Numerous books published on the subject, both scientific and amateur, attest to the popularity of seaweed collecting in the era. Among them, and of particular fame in the history of early female photography, was Anna Atkins’s cyanotype Photographs of British Algae (1843). Later came William Harvey’s important Manual of Marine Algae (1849). At the height of interest in Britain, seaside-shops were selling scrap paper and all the necessary gear for cutting and preserving algae. 2. [SEAWEED ALBUM]. Algae Britannicae. Collector unknown, probably 19th some samples have been ‘dredged from Plymouth harbour’. Whether the century. ‘dredging’ was carried out personally by the collector is doubtful, but it is nonetheless clear that the owner of this album was an extremely dedicated Vol. II only? Folio, ll. 75, of which 54 have seaweed specimens, amounting to amateur phycologist, with some degree of knowledge. Some specimens are 98 seaweed species; in original brown buckram binding, ¼ dark blue noted for their ‘fine colour’, ‘state of growth’ or for being ‘in fruit’. morocco, gilt, title gilt on spine, gilt raised bands, rubbed; leather and metal clasp intact; pages pale green, stained in places, sometimes by seaweed; seaweed in excellent condition, some samples very large and complete; some labels likely missing; user’s pencil marks throughout, handwritten labels to many samples. £1500 An impressive album of algae samples from British waters, showing considerable attention to taxonomy of species and families. This collector was evidently much more dedicated, though they were still almost certainly a hobbyist rather than a scientist by profession. Here the system of organisation is more clearly pre-meditated, perhaps even prepared according to instructions received with the book: printed labels, some with borders, denote the Latin names of series, families and individual species. Families like Delassaria appear together in groups (the same species that are named in the first album appear again here), with the user identifying in faint pencil where the missing seaweed will fit in. Where printed labels are absent, notes in ink identify the species, location and even rarity. Though several notes referring to Plymouth Harbour, Bovisand and South Devon locate the algae species on England’s South Coast, many of the names written here refer to the Scottish coasts and islands: Rothesay; Whiting Bay; Holy Island. The lengths to which the user went to obtain ‘very rare’ species of algae – assuming they were obtained by hand and not merely purchased – were not just geographical: Taxonomic accuracy is the main concern of this album, but the collector was nonetheless skilled in arranging his or her algae artistically, and most importantly making full use of the much larger space provided by this folio album, some of the specimens being very large indeed. These two albums form an attractive and exciting record of two seaweed collectors, probably when the pursuit was at the height of its popularity. Each album has its own character, the first being charmingly amateurish and artistic, the other a more hard-headed – though sadly unfinished – endeavour in collecting. See Logan, The Victorian Parlour, p. 124. 3. [ALGAE.] Brooch with algae, early twentieth century. Brooch, approximately 2 x 4 cm. overall; miniature reddish-pink algae specimen set in a light pink resin (1.2 x 1.2 cm.), in yellow metal decorative swirling design surround, functioning pin clasp. £120 4. [BIBLE – GOSPELS.] (ABU RUMI, translator, Thomas Pell PLATT, editor). An unusual example of jewellery design delicately preserving an algae; an Evangelia sancta: sub auspiciis D. Asselini rerum Gallicarum apud Aegyptios attractive piece of botanical interest collecting. procuratoris in lunguam Amharicam vertit Abu-Rumi Habessinus. London, Richard Watts for the British and Foreign Bible Society, 1824. 4to, ff. [158], Latin title and facing title in Amharic (printed in red and black), text in Amharic printed in red and black; one or two minor stains; contemporary blind-stamped calf; worn and rubbed, foot of spine chipped; from the library of Archibald Smith-Sligo (1815–1891), with bookplate. £800 First edition of the Gospels in Amharic. The translation was made by the Ethiopian monk Abu Rumi (c. 1750–c. 1819). Following extensive travels in the Middle East and India, Abu Rumi found himself, aged 50–55, in Cairo. He fell ill there but was nursed back to health by the French consul, Jean-Louis Asselin de Cherville, who persuaded him to translate the Bible into Amharic. The two of them worked on the translation every Tuesday and Saturday for the next ten years (1808–1818). On completion, Asselin contacted the English missionary William Jowett of the Church Missionary Society and the Foreign Bible Society in Cairo, who purchased the 9539-page manuscript for £1250 in 1820. The manuscript was then submitted to the Orientalist Professor Samuel Lee of Cambridge before being prepared for publication by Thomas Pell Platt, Fellow of Trinity College and for several years librarian of the British and Foreign Bible Society. The Gospels appeared first, in 1824, the New Testament in 1829, and the full Bible in 1840. The latter remained the standard Amharic Bible until the Imperial Bible sponsored by Haile Selassie and published in 1960–1. Darlow & Moule 1556. WITH FOUR ORIGINAL PLAYBILLS 5. BOADEN, James.

London, Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green, 1825. 2 vols., 8vo, pp. xl, 477, [1]; [4], 595, [1], with a mezzotint frontispiece portrait of Kemble by C. Turner after Thomas Lawrence; extra-illustrated with 27 engraved portraits and 4 playbills (1796-8); a very good copy in later nineteenth-century half calf, front joint of volume II detached. £625 First edition of a fine, discursive theatrical biography by the playwright turned biographer James Boaden; Walter Scott called it ‘grave, critical, full and laudably accurate’. After a brief early career writing gothic and historical dramas for the stage, and a bold but misguided endorsement of William Ireland’s Shakespeare forgery, Vortigern, Boaden wrote nothing after 1803 for twenty-one years, before a drastic loss of means drove him to a second career as biographer. He succeeded his life of Kemble with similar works on Mrs Siddons (1827), Mrs Jordan (1831), and Mrs Inchbald (1833). The present copy of the Memoirs is extra-illustrated with four playbills for Drury Lane productions starring Kemble and Siddons: The Gamester, 17 Oct 1796; Measure for Measure, 11 Jan 1797; Tamerlane, 2 March 1797; and The Stranger, 4 May 1798.

  • Bible-Work in 19Th Century Jerusalem
    First “Organized” F T H E B I B O L E N D A L Bible-work in E H T th N 19 Century I K R Jerusalem O W E L B (1816–1831) I B Part VII: Five Bible-men in Jerusalem (1823–1824) by Kai Kjær-Hansen In the spring of 1823, a trio consisting of Joseph Wolff and two American missionaries – Pliny Fisk and Jonas King – had worked as Bible-men in Jerusalem. Fisk and King had soon sold their rather limited supply of mainly non-Hebrew Scriptures. Throughout the period Wolff was in a position to supply Hebrew Scriptures, but he was only able to distribute a few to Jews in Jerusalem. Four months after leaving Jerusalem, Fisk is back in the town, and a reorganization of the work is carried out. A Jerusalem Bible Society was not established, but at the turn of the year 1823–1824 a “Bible Society Room” is set up in Jerusalem. A good many Scriptures are distributed over these five months. The present challenge is to uncover the relationship between the distribution of non-Hebrew Scriptures to Christians – be they residents of Jerusalem or pilgrims – and Hebrew Scriptures to Jews. Pliny Fisk is the only one of these five Bible-men who remains in Jerusalem all through this period of five months, from November 21, 1823, to April 22, 1824.1 The others are listed chronologically. William Jowett, a resident of Malta, is sent out by the Church Missionary Society (CMS); he arrives together with Fisk and stays in Jerusalem for approximately three weeks.

While mostly only single book was discussed, like Bonaventura or Stephen Langton does, this commentary covers rather unusually, the entire New Testament. The text betrays great sophistication and it is surely not a mere draft. Many comments are taken from the Homiliae in Evangelia, the Epistolae, and the Regulae pastolaris from Gregorius Magnus, we do not know why the author had a special preference for them.

  • The Abhorred Name of Turk”: Muslims and the Politics of Identity in Seventeenth- Century English Broadside Ballads
    “The Abhorred Name of Turk”: Muslims and the Politics of Identity in Seventeenth- Century English Broadside Ballads A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Katie Sue Sisneros IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Nabil Matar, adviser November 2016 Copyright 2016 by Katie Sue Sisneros Acknowledgments Dissertation writing would be an overwhelmingly isolating process without a veritable army of support (at least, I felt like I needed an army). I’d like to acknowledge a few very important people, without whom I’d probably be crying in a corner, having only typed “My Dissertation” in bold in a word document and spending the subsequent six years fiddling with margins and font size. I’ve had an amazing committee behind me: John Watkins and Katherine Scheil braved countless emails and conversations, in varying levels of panic, and offered such kind, thoughtful, and eye-opening commentary on my work that I often wonder what I ever did to deserve their time and attention. And Giancarlo Casale’s expertise in Ottoman history has proven to be equal parts inspiring and intimidating. Also, a big thank you to Julia Schleck, under whom I worked during my Masters degree, whose work was the inspiration for my entry into Anglo-Muslim studies. The bulk of my dissertation work would have been impossible (this is not an exaggeration) without access to one of the most astounding digital archives I’ve ever seen. The English Broadside Ballad Archive, maintained by the Early Modern Center in the English Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has changed markedly over the course of the eight or so years I’ve been using it, and the tireless work of its director Patricia Fumerton and the whole EBBA team has made it as comprehensive and intuitive a collection as any scholar could ask for.

Wednesday, Nov. 19, 1823—We setoff, considerably before day-light, for Nablous. The air was extremely keen for the first two hours; and, gradually, when the sun had risen, its burning heat came upon us, with a doubly-exhausting effect. It was about an hour after mid-day that we had our first view of the city of Nablous, romantically situated in a deep valley, between the mountains of Ebal on our left and Gerizim on the right. There is a kind of sublime horror in the lofty, craggy, and barren aspect of these two mountains, which seem to face each other with an air of defiance; especially as they stand contrasted with the rich valley beneath, where the city appears to - be imbedded on either side in green gardens and extensive olive-grounds— rendered more verdant, by the lengthened periods of shade which they enjoy from the mountains on each side.

  • The Church in Egypt Today
    The Church in Egypt Today Abdel Masih Istafanous Background Tradition holds that St. Mark, the writer of the second Gospel, founded the church in Egypt. 1 We know, however, from Acts 2 that on the day of Pentecost representatives from Egypt were present to hear the message of the gospel. It is also worth noting that the Jews of Alexandria were prominent among the Jews of the Diaspora. Moreover, the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament, was begun in the third century B.C. in Alexandria. Therefore, we can safely presume that the church was established in Egypt soon after the day of Pentecost through the ministry of some of the 3,000 people who were baptized then. Papyrus, Manuscripts, and Translations Egypt is well known for papyrus, the writing material produced from a plant that grew by the River Nile. The dry climate of Egypt preserved many invaluable, biblical papyri manuscripts for thousands of years. One of the best known is the Chester Beatty collection which contains texts from the Gospels, Acts, the Epistles of Paul, and Revelation, all dating between 200 and 250 A.D. Of special importance was the the discovery of the Nag Hammadi (a town in Upper Egypt) manuscripts in 194 7, which gave us a much closer acquaintance with the Gnostics and their deviations from Christianity, and of the Dishna (a town in Upper Egypt near Nag Hammadi) manuscripts discovered shortly before 1956. These so-called Bodmer Papyri take us back to the beginnings of the third century. They contain the full text of the Gospels of Luke and John, the two Epistles of Peter, and the Epistle of Jude.
