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. -

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. The introduction to this book is largely identical to Desachy’s earlier article, ‘Bibliophiles d’oncle à neveu: livres et bibliothèques de Jean et Hélion Jouffroy (vers 1460-1530),’ in: Bulletin du bibliophile, n.s. -

The Spread of Hindu-Arabic Numerals in the European Tradition of Practical Mathematics (13 Th -16 Th Centuries)
Figuring Out: The Spread of Hindu-Arabic Numerals in the European Tradition of Practical Mathematics (13 th -16 th centuries) Raffaele Danna PhD Candidate Faculty of History, University of Cambridge [email protected] CWPESH no. 35 1 Abstract: The paper contributes to the literature focusing on the role of ideas, practices and human capital in pre-modern European economic development. It argues that studying the spread of Hindu- Arabic numerals among European practitioners allows to open up a perspective on a progressive transmission of useful knowledge from the commercial revolution to the early modern period. The analysis is based on an original database recording detailed information on over 1200 texts, both manuscript and printed. This database provides the most detailed reconstruction available of the European tradition of practical arithmetic from the late 13 th to the end of the 16 th century. It can be argued that this is the tradition which drove the adoption of Hindu-Arabic numerals in Europe. The dataset is analysed with statistical and spatial tools. Since the spread of these texts is grounded on inland patterns, the evidence suggests that a continuous transmission of useful knowledge may have played a role during the shift of the core of European trade from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. 2 Introduction Given their almost universal diffusion, Hindu-Arabic numerals can easily be taken for granted. Nevertheless, for a long stretch of European history numbers have been represented using Roman numerals, as the positional numeral system reached western Europe at a relatively late stage. This paper provides new evidence to reconstruct the transition of European practitioners from Roman to Hindu-Arabic numerals.
