  • What Is an Emblem Book
    A brief introduction to the Stirling Maxwell Collection of Emblem Books at the University of Glasgow. David Weston April 2011 The last forty years have witnessed an increasing interest in emblem literature as a potential key to a fuller understanding of the Renaissance and Baroque mind. At an early stage in this development the importance of the collection of emblem books formed in the 19th century by Sir William Stirling Maxwell was recognised as a major resource for anyone pursuing research in this area. With some 1200 emblem books in the collection in 1958, it proved an invaluable source of information to Mario Praz in the production of his Studies in seventeenth century imagery, especially the bibliography, where he frequently refers to copies seen at Nether Pollok, the country house of the Maxwell family now within the boundaries of Glasgow. Since then few works published in emblematics fail to mention the Stirling Maxwell Collection and frequently they are illustrated with prints taken from copies in the collection. Sir William Stirling Maxwell, writer on Spanish art and history, a discerning and tireless collector of paintings, books and porcelain, a poet, politician, distinguished public figure, and last but not least, a breeder of short-horn cattle and Clydesdale horses, was without doubt a most remarkable figure. Born on the 8th of March, 1818, into the ancient Scottish family of Stirling, plain William Stirling as he was then, was educated privately in Buckinghamshire and later at Trinity College Cambridge. As the only son of Archibald Stirling of Keir, he inherited his father's estates in 1847, and subsequently, on the death of his uncle Sir John Maxwell of Pollok, he inherited the title, acquiring the additional name of Maxwell.

  • THE EARLY MODERN BOOK AS SPECTACLE by PAULINE
    THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY: THE EARLY MODERN BOOK AS SPECTACLE by PAULINE E. REID (Under the Direction of Sujata Iyengar) ABSTRACT This dissertation approaches the print book as an epistemologically troubled new media in early modern English culture. I look at the visual interface of emblem books, almanacs, book maps, rhetorical tracts, and commonplace books as a lens for both phenomenological and political crises in the era. At the same historical moment that print expanded as a technology, competing concepts of sight took on a new cultural prominence. Vision became both a political tool and a religious controversy. The relationship between sight and perception in prominent classical sources had already been troubled: a projective model of vision, derived from Plato and Democritus, privileged interior, subjective vision, whereas the receptive model of Aristotle characterized sight as a sensory perception of external objects. The empirical model that assumes a less troubled relationship between sight and perception slowly advanced, while popular literature of the era portrayed vision as potentially deceptive, even diabolical. I argue that early print books actively respond to these visual controversies in their layout and design. Further, the act of interpreting different images, texts, and paratexts lends itself to an oscillation of the reading eye between the book’s different, partial components and its more holistic message. This tension between part and whole appears throughout these books’ technical apparatus and ideological concerns; this tension also echoes the conflict between unity and fragmentation in early modern English national politics. Sight, politics, and the reading process interact to construct the early English print book’s formal aspects and to pull these formal components apart in a process of biblioclasm.

PREFACE '•"^AN these bones live ? . and the breath came into them, and they ^-^ lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.' The question, that was asked in Ezekiel's vision, seems to have been answered satisfactorily ; but it is no easy matter to breathe life into the dry bones of more than a thousand pedigrees : for not many of us are interested in the genealogies of others ; though indeed to those few such an interest is a living thing. Several of the following pedigrees are to be found among the most ancient of authenticated genealogical records : almost all of them have been derived from accepted and standard works ; and the most modern authorities have been consulted ; while many pedigrees, that seemed to be doubtful, have been omitted. Their special interest is to be found in the fact that (with the exception of some of those whose names are recorded in the Wallop pedigree, including Sir John Wallop, K.G., who ' walloped' the French in 1515) every person, whose lineage is shown, is a direct (not a collateral) ancestor of a family, whose continuous descent can be traced since the thirteenth century, and whose name is identical with that part of England in which its members have held land for more than seven hundred and fifty years.

And he did more than point. He opened up paths of access to nothing less than a revolutionary change in traditional empiricism.

  • The Library, 7.1.4, December Zooo 453 Conclusions Regarding the Venetian Music Printing Business Are Impressive
    The Library, 7.1.4, December zooo 453 conclusions regarding the Venetian music printing business are impressive. This book proves to be complementary to the existing works in the field and is thoroughly deserving of a place on the shelf beside them. Oxford MARTIN HOLMES Charta of Greek Printing: The Contribution of Greek Editors, Printers and Publishers Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/library/article/1/4/453/943484 by guest on 01 October 2021 to the Renaissance in Italy and the West. Vol. I: Fifteenth Century. By KONSTANTINOS SP. STAIKOS. Cologne: Jiirgen Dinter. 1998. lxix + 557 pp. + 128 illus., one folding map. 500 DM. ISBN 3 924794 19 7. THIS IS A VERY LARGE, very handsome, and very expensive book. It is also infuriating: so much effort expended to produce a guide (a map, in the word of the title) that can do nothing but mislead the unwary, perpetuate old errors, and start new ones. It is not about the printing of Greek, but as the subtitle puts it, 'The Contribution of Greek Editors, Printers and Publishers to the Renaissance in Italy and the West'. It is thus a long essay in Renaissance cultural history from a strictly Hellenic perspective. There are many faults with Staikos's lists. Practically everyone who knew Greek in Quattrocento Italy is said to be a pupil of Chrysoloras (d. 1415), including Nicholas V, who was born the year that Chrysoloras started his short stint of teaching in Florence (p. 70). Throughout chapter 1, Staikos wobbles between Johannes and Vindelinus de Spira as prototypographer of Venice, an honour accorded to Nicolas Jenson in the index.

  • Emblem Books and the Age of Symbolism
    8. The Renaissance The two defining achievements of the Renaissance, the revival of classic- ism and the invention of the printing press assured the simultaneous tri- umph and demise of the age of symbolism. On the one hand, scholars were faced with the recovery of a complete literary and artistic culture which in spite of its historical and aesthetic attractions knew nothing of Christian orthodoxy. Undaunted, these scholars reacted by attempting to reconcile the two traditions, classical and Christian, and to integrate them into one coherent system, one effect of which was to reinforce and per- petuate the culture of symbolism. At the same time, printing enabled the widespread dissemination of the literature of symbolism including the new genres of emblem and device. By the end of the 17th century tens of thousands of these books had been sold and hundreds of thousands of emblems, devices and enigmas as well as other genres had been com- posed, read and deciphered and their symbolism contemplated and ab- sorbed. But the same benefits of printing applied to the nascent scientific revolution. The rapid spread of knowledge, the sharing of information, the loosening of the censorship of the Church slowly but inexorably brought about the triumph of empiricism. 209 · Recovery of the Ancient Texts · The politics of Europe at the end of the Middle Ages had been dominat- ed by the centuries long struggle between the Papacy and the Holy Ro- man Empire for control of the Church, finally ending with victory for the Popes. It was natural that after relative political stability had been achieved by the formation of self-contained city-states, the Renaissance should begin in Italy.

  • William Tanner His Descendants 1905
    WILLIAM TANNER OF NORTH KINGSTOWN, RHODE ISLAND AND HIS DESCENDANTS BY REV. GEORGE C. TANNER, D. D. FARIBAULT, MINN. Published by the Author 1905. REV. GEO. C. TANNER, D.D. Faribault, Minn. To Our Friends and Patrons. In 1897 the writer began to trace his own ancestral line for the sake of those who should come after him. As he proceeded, the circle widened until it included all the de­ scendants of William Tanner of South Kingstown, R. I., now scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This has been a labor of love, and has brought him into correspondence with a large number of estimable people. These have courteously given him the information in their possession, which he grate­ fully acknowledges. While it would be impossible to make mention of all of these, the writer desires to express his appreciation of the value of the Manuscript Genealogy compiled by George Thomas Tanner of his branch of this line, which his widow kindly placed at his disposal, and to Dr. Herbert Battles Tanner of Kaukauna, Wis., for encouragement and assistance in this undertaking, and to Maj. C. D. Parkhurst, r. 8. A•. for his help in sundry ways. The writer has made free use of the Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island, by John Osborne Austin, from which, however, he is obliged to differ in some particulars. He also acknowledges his inde' i edness to the painstaking work of Mr. Arnold, in his Vital Eecords of Rhode Island. The writer has made free use of t\:c His­ torical Societies of Providence and Newport, and of th,, Town Records of the several towns of Rhode Island, and also of the counties of eastern New York, to each of which he hereby expresses his thanks for the courteous assistance afforded by those in charge.
