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.

Plusieurs des sermons de Saint-Augustin comptent parmi les plus belles exégèses que possède l’Eglise. Saint Augustin est des Pères de l’Eglise celui autour duquel le monde chrétien a le plus âprement disputé : catholiques et protestants, jansénistes et jésuites se sont également abrités derrière son autorité pour faire triompher leurs doctrines. L’humanité est aux yeux de saint Augustin si radicalement enfoncée dans le péché que sa nature lui interdit toute aspiration vers le bien. Le salut ne peut donc être que l'œuvre de Dieu seul. (Michèle Federico Sciacca). Ulrich Zell apprend la technique de la typographie à Mayence dans l’atelier de Peter Schoeffer et Johann Fust, et doit sans doute quitter la ville comme beaucoup d’autres imprimeurs, après le sac de la ville, dans la nuit du 28 octobre 1462, par les troupes de l’archevêque Adolphe de Nassau.

  • Printers and Typography As Agents of Cultural Exchange in Fifteenth- Century Europe
    Movable Type, Movable Printers: Printers and Typography as Agents of Cultural Exchange in Fifteenth- Century Europe Jacob A. Gibbons S1433725 Book and Digital Media Studies MA Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Erik Kwakkel Second Reader: Prof. Paul Hoftijzer Date of completion: 28 July, 2014 Word Count: 19.896 1 Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction 3 Chapter 2: Typographic Exchange within Cities 15 Chapter 3: Intra-regional Typographic Exchange 25 Chapter 4: Trans-European Typographic Exchange 36 Chapter 5: Conclusions and Looking Forward 46 Works Cited 52 2 Chapter 1: Introduction From its birth in Mainz in the 1450s, printing and the printers who implemented it spread rapidly through Europe, reaching Italy by 1465, Paris in 1470, the Low Countries by the early 1470s1, Poland by 1473, and by way of Flanders England in 14762. Printing was immediately a highly desirable technology, able to meet the fifteenth century’s growing demand for books of all kinds3 by mass-producing the codex form and all that could be included between its two covers. There already existed international markets in Europe for other goods that were traded abroad by merchants, but print functioned differently as a commodity. Whereas wool could be brought to the nearest port for export overseas and simply sold there, handed off to the merchant who would then travel to the next port and sell the product there, a printing press or a fount of type were not simply exchanged for a sum of a money in fifteenth-century Europe4. Printing entailed a crucial difference: its novelty required a very specific and very rare expertise, which meant that those who exported print from its home in Germany very often went with it to its new home in a new culture.

  • The Incunabula of Sir Charles Frederick
    The Incunabula of Sir Charles Frederick Dennis E. Rhodes Charles Frederick was born at Madras in 1709. Educated at Westminster School and New College, Oxford, he became a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1731 and was elected its Director in January 1736. He also became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1733. In 1738 he resigned his post at the Antiquaries in order to travel abroad. He went to Italy with his older brother John during the years 1737 and 1738. They were at Genoa between 30 September and 18 October 1737, then briefly at Pavia and Milan in November. Going via Parma and Bologna, they reached Rome in December, and were still there on 17 February 1738. They travelled as far East as Constantinople, but were back in Italy later that year since we know that on 3 October 1738 Charles bought a book in Florence which is now in the British Library.1 His book purchases show a remarkably wide field of interest, and his elaborate book-plate of 1752 (one of two) shows that he had a particular interest in the design of small arms.2 The brothers were back in London by January 1741. Charles became MP for Shoreham in 1741 and served until 1754, then as MP for Queenborough until 1784. He was made a Knight of the Bath on 23 March 1761. He had married Lucy Boscawen (1710-1784) on 18 August 1746. Sir Charles died at Hammersmith on 18 December 1785. He also acquired probably no fewer than twenty-two incunabula.

  • Early Music Printing and Ecclesiastic Patronage Mary Kay Duggan
    Early Music Printing and Ecclesiastic Patronage Mary Kay Duggan Printing was first established in Mainz, the seat of the archbishop who was the most important of the seven Electors of the Holy Roman Empire and head of the largest ecclesiastical province of that Empire, containing 17,000 clerics who made a perfect market for liturgical books.1 The Council of Basel had ended in 1449 with the imperative to distribute newly reformed liturgical texts across Europe, and music was an integral part of those reformed texts. Although it appeared that the entire international church was behind the adoption of the conciliar reformed Liber Ordinarius, the Council Benedictines of the Province of Mainz that met in 1451 voted against what was essentially a Roman liturgy, supporting instead a text offered by the archbishop of Mainz.2 Despite the pope’s threat to use military force if necessary, the council Provincial Chapter ended by sending bishops and abbots back to their homes to create unique reformed diocesan and monastic texts in a giant exercise in textual editing.3 The publication of hundreds of editions of liturgical books – tens of thousands of copies – would have to wait.4 Music was in the middle of the struggle over textual orthodoxy. Every priest was required to have a missal, an enormous market for printers, and music was a necessary, if small, part of the genre, the fairly simple plainchant sung by the priest. On the other hand, choirbooks, agendas, services for the dead (vigiliae, obsequiale) contain melismatic chant on nearly every page, requiring complex neumes of music type designers.
