Hall Some of the books and leaves in this catalogue come from the collection of Dr. Edwin C. Hall, formerly Professor of Medieval History at Wayne State University and a longtime collector of early printing and illuminated manuscript material. From the time Ed first walked into my booth (at the Detroit Book Fair in the fall of 1978), he became my greatest benefactor, exerting a uniquely enduring and profound influence on my business. One risks overstatement when using unqualified characterizations, but Ed Hall seemed to know virtually everything about anything of importance that happened in Western Europe before the year 1700. At a time before Wikipedia, I was frequently on the telephone asking Ed about a very wide range of subjects—practices in early scriptoria, the various forms of service books in the medieval Catholic liturgy, how to express accurately the spread of certain kinds of neumes in musical manuscripts, what a difficult-to-read conventical inscription at the opening of a volume might say and where it originated, and so on. As a result, my catalogues, even the early ones, sounded as if they were written by a learned person. Ed was a very quiet man, but in his field of art history, he established a notable reputation for innovative and impeccable research and interpretation, perhaps best seen in his handsome 1994 book, The Arnolfini Betrothal: Medieval Marriage and the Enigma of Van Eyck’s Double Portrait. This work provided a radical new reading of the painter’s depiction that he was able to document with exacting historical research. The book is now required reading for any advanced student of art history. As a scholar of early printing, Ed wrote an extremely valuable extended study of the first printers outside of Germany, as part of a project we conceived together. We used his account as the centerpiece for a leaf book entitled, Sweynheym & Pannartz and the Origins of Printing in Italy: German Technology and Italian Humanism in Renaissance Rome, which was printed by Henry Morris at the Bird & Bull Press and issued in 1991. Ed Hall, a man of great brilliance and kindness, of cultured grace and sympathy, died at 92 in October. ________ page 2 A Partial Index of Topics (References are to entry numbers) Click on the entry number to jump directly to that item in the catalogue.

  • Introduction by the Editor
    INTRODUCTION BYTHE EDITOR HEN Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne- Jones, William Morris, and some fellow-artists painted on the damp walls of the Oxford Un- ion debating hall in 1857, their ignorance of fresco technique led them to produce haunt- ing images of the Middle Ages which, in ghostly fashion, began to fade almost immedi- ately; but the more permanent legacy of this episode was a body of richly revealing anecdotes about the Pre- Raphaelites themselves. Burne-Jones, for example, recalled that Mor- ris was so fanatically precise about the details of medieval costume Figure 1 that he arranged for "a stout little smith" in Oxford to produce a suit of armor which the painters could use as a model. When the basinet arrived, Morris at once tried it on, and Burne-Jones, working high above, looked down and was startled to see his friend "embedded in iron, dancing with rage and roaring inside" because the visor would not lift.1 This picture of Morris imprisoned and blinded by a piece of medie- val armor is an intriguing one: certainly it hints at an interpretation of his career that is not very flattering. But we ought to set alongside it another anecdote, from the last decade of Morris's life, the symbol- ism of which seems equally potent. Early in November 1892, young Sydney Cockerell, recently hired by Morris to catalogue his incunab- ula and medieval manuscripts, spent the entire day immersed in that remote age while studying materials in Morris's library. As evening approached, he emerged again into the nineteenth century (or so he thought) and climbed the staircase of Kelmscott House: "When I went up into the drawing room to say goodnight Morris and his wife were playing at draughts, with large ivory pieces, red and white.

  • Book Expo 2018 Javits Center Wednesday, May 30 9:15 Am
    Book Expo 2018 Javits Center Wednesday, May 30 9:15 am Thanks Oren, for your kind introduction. I am pleased and honored to be here to talk about Barnes & Noble, and more importantly, how I see the future of the book industry as we turn yet another corner in our dynamic marketplace. I am also here to talk about our mutual love of books, and our shared passion for bookselling. Let me begin with a couple of thoughts I believe all in this room should agree upon. There could never be too many bookstores in America. Bookstores of any stripe, including small and large independent stores; super bookstores and multi-unit organizations such as ours; specialty bookstores; book departments in chain stores; book racks in discount stores and book kiosks in airports. It follows we need to open more stores than we close. Barnes & Noble intends to do its part. Individually and collectively, our bookstores are the place where demand is created because we are the showrooms for the publishing industry. More bookstores equal more demand, and 1 more bookstores lead to a more informed public, and a healthier and more upwardly mobile society. For those of us who own, operate, or work in bookstores, we are privileged to be participants in this important profession. The more bookstores the better. No one is more pleased than I am that independent bookstores are opening their doors again. I do not see them as being in mortal competition with Barnes & Noble any more than we were in competition with them when we were opening 50 stores each year.

  • The Founder of Manichaeism. Rethinking the Life of Mani
    THE FOUNDER OF MANICHAEISM Mani, a third-century preacher, healer and public sage from Sasanian Mesopotamia, lived at a pivotal time and place in the development of the major religions. He frequented the courts of the Persian Empire, debating with rivals from the Judaeo-Christian tradition, philoso- phers and gnostics, Zoroastrians from Iran and Buddhists from India. The community he founded spread from north Africa to south China and lasted for over a thousand years. Yet the genuine biography of its founder, his life and thought, was in good part lost until a series of spectacular discoveries have begun to transform our knowledge of Mani’s crucial role in the spread of religious ideas and practices along the trade routes of Eurasia. This book utilises the latest historical and textual research to examine how Mani was remembered by his followers, caricatured by his opponents, and has been invented and reinvented according to the vagaries of scholarly fashion. is Professor of the History of Religions at the Univer- sity of Sydney and a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities. He is a Coptic language and Manichaean studies specialist who has published the editio princeps of more than a hundred texts, especially the major archive of fourth-century papyri discovered in Egypt by the Dakhleh Oasis Project and published under his editorship in a series of P. Kellis volumes. He is the author of the standard English translation of the Berlin Kephalaia (), the most extensive compendium of Manichaean teachings known from antiquity; and he leads the ongoing project to edit one of the largest papyrus codices that survives from the ancient world: The Chapters of the Wisdom of My Lord Mani (housed in the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin).

  • Charles Ricketts' Illustrations for Two of Oscar Wilde's Poems in Prose
    3 FAITHFUL INFIDELITY: CHARLES RICKETTS' ILLUSTRATIONS FOR TWO OF OSCAR WILDE'S POEMS IN PROSE Jeremiah Romano Mercurio (University of St Andrews) Abstract The artist, collector, and critic Charles Ricketts (1866–1931) has often been characterised as a reactionary voice in early-twentieth-century debates about modern art. Although he responded conservatively to modern-art developments such as those embodied by the term 'Post-Impressionism', his work in book design and illustration exemplifies progressive strategies of decoration that reconfigure the relationship between author and illustrator as one of collaborative authorship. Ricketts' illustrations are autonomous narratives that not only reproduce the meanings of the texts they represent, but also parody and elaborate on them. Moreover, Ricketts' book designs and illustrations represent a complex resistance to and working out of Oscar Wilde's views on art, language, and orality. Wilde regarded visual art as inferior to language because the latter can embody the graphic and is free from the former's fixity in time and materiality. Ricketts' illustrational strategies are designed, not only to reinforce his own autonomy, but also to disprove Wilde's description of visual art as limited compared with language. Ricketts' progressive strategies of design are epitomized by his unpublished illustrations for Wilde's Poems in Prose (1894), a text which dramatises the centrality of voice to Wilde's poetic endeavour and allows Ricketts directly to challenge Wilde's denigration of the visual arts. By focusing on two representative examples, Ricketts' drawings for 'The Disciple' and 'The House of Judgment', and by providing close readings of both image and text, this piece traces Ricketts' illustrational methods and reveals their debts to Wilde's own theories of orality, language, and visual arts, charting Ricketts' divergences from Wilde's texts and highlighting the critical dialogue implicit in the illustrations.

  • Critical Introduction to Volume 1 of the Dial (1889)
    Critical Introduction to Volume 1 of The Dial (1889) The unsigned “Apology” located on the final page of the first Dial brought out Figure 1. Pictorial Initial "U" Designed by Charles Ricketts for John Gray’s “The Great Worm” by Charles Ricketts and Charles Shannon in August 1889 outlined the editorial defense (apologia) for the eccentric publication: “The sole aim of this magazine is to gain sympathy with its views” (36). The views expressed in this first number were those of a very limited group indeed: four young men based in central London. In addition to co-editors Ricketts and Shannon, who between them produced most of the magazine’s contents, Reginald Savage contributed a single artwork and a series of brief “Notes” on current exhibitions and John Gray provided a fairy tale and a critical essay. Like its Pre-Raphaelite predecessor the Germ (1850), the Dial sought to set the visual and verbal arts in dialogue with each other. Artists illustrated the literary efforts of their colleagues, Ricketts designed textual ornaments for specific pieces of writing (fig. 1), and the magazine as whole engaged with ideas of design. While the Dial might have shared the Germ’s subtitle, “Thoughts Towards Nature in Art and Literature,” its approach is more fantastic, mythical, and decorative. Indeed, the magazine’s artistic vision extends 1 beyond the English Pre-Raphaelites to include the art and literature of the Continent, particularly that of France. The “Apology” concludes with the acknowledgement that “we are out of date in our belief that the artist’s conscientiousness cannot be controlled by the paying public” (36).

  • The Wesleyan Enlightenment
    The Wesleyan Enlightenment: Closing the gap between heart religion and reason in Eighteenth Century England by Timothy Wayne Holgerson B.M.E., Oral Roberts University, 1984 M.M.E., Wichita State University, 1986 M.A., Asbury Theological Seminary, 1999 M.A., Kansas State University, 2011 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2017 Abstract John Wesley (1703-1791) was an Anglican priest who became the leader of Wesleyan Methodism, a renewal movement within the Church of England that began in the late 1730s. Although Wesley was not isolated from his enlightened age, historians of the Enlightenment and theologians of John Wesley have only recently begun to consider Wesley in the historical context of the Enlightenment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between a man, John Wesley, and an intellectual movement, the Enlightenment. As a comparative history, this study will analyze the juxtaposition of two historiographies, Wesley studies and Enlightenment studies. Surprisingly, Wesley scholars did not study John Wesley as an important theologian until the mid-1960s. Moreover, because social historians in the 1970s began to explore the unique ways people experienced the Enlightenment in different local, regional and national contexts, the plausibility of an English Enlightenment emerged for the first time in the early 1980s. As a result, in the late 1980s, scholars began to integrate the study of John Wesley and the Enlightenment. In other words, historians and theologians began to consider Wesley as a serious thinker in the context of an English Enlightenment that was not hostile to Christianity.

  • WRITING YOUR FAMILY HISTORY a Guideline for Your Project
    WRITING YOUR FAMILY HISTORY A Guideline for Your Project Old Buncombe County Genealogical Society P.O. Box 2122, Asheville, NC 28802 •828-253-1894 •www.obcgs.com If you are interested in genealogy and have conducted even the shortest of searches for a relative, you might have thought about how to organize the results into a useful format. One could write a report, an article for a journal or even set up a notebook to share with others, but a book might seem daunting. Many genealogists dream about writing a book on their family research, but do not know where to start. In 2012, OBCGS organized a working group to explore the steps needed to write a family history book. The group was able to organize their findings and put them all in one place to share with our members. The result is this guideline, a summary of the steps necessary to get your research ready for printing. I. THE ORGANIZING PROCESS – success is easier when you do some planning up front. a. Choose the Format – cookbook, photo album, genealogy narrative, etc. b. Choose the Scope – one family line descending from a distant ancestor; the grandparent’s story; the military service of a Revolutionary War soldier in the family including his family genealogy; etc. c. Choose a Plot or Theme – one way to make the book more interesting to a broader audience is to use a plot or theme throughout. Suggestions might be their immigration story; life after slavery; survival during the Great Depression; etc. d. Research the Time and Place – this provides more narrative for the reader and rounds out the family members’ experience so the reader understands what they went through to raise their family and survive.
