  • Engraving of a Rhinoceros, Originally Produced in 1515
    Bestiaries St John’s holds two of the ca. 90 surviving manuscript bestiaries in Latin. Both are displayed here. These volumes were often, although not always, highly illustrated listings of beasts, birds, and sometimes rocks, combining folklore, classical learning and Christian allegory. The text was extracted from any one of several compendia of animal lore cited by classical authors, the oldest being the anonymous Physiologus of the 2nd century AD, but both examples from St John’s belong to a group which draw on the book 12 of a major early medieval encyclopaedic work, Isidore of Seville’s Etymologiae, dating to the 630s. The production of bestiaries didn’t really get under way until the 10th century, but continued throughout the high Middle Ages. Although the lore bestiaries drew on was often popular, and sometimes widely believed, these were not primarily zoological statements, rather works of Christian spiritual allegory, in which narrative and symbolism played a major part. Thus the pelican is shown tearing at its breast in order to feed its young, in a parallel with the suffering and redemptive nature of Christ. The high status of the manuscripts, demonstrated by their lavish illuminations, also militates against the notion that lay people had easy access to them, and hence that they were manuals of scientific or practical knowledge. Instead they tended to be owned by religious houses, as both the manuscripts displayed here were, and furnished material and inspiration for sermons and religious life. The Lion 13th c. Bestiary from York Uniformly placed at the beginning of the listing, owing to its status as the “King of Beasts”, the Lion appears here in a lavish 13th century manuscript formerly owned by the Priory of Holy Trinity, York.

  • Reference Genres and Their Finding Devices," in Too
    3 Reference Genres and Their Finding Devices The first new reference books to appear in print starting ca. 1500 were in- debted to ancient and medieval sources and models, but they also initiated a period of new experimentation and explosive growth in methods of information management. Printed compilations were larger than their medieval counterparts and often grew larger still in successive editions, while remaining commercially viable; reference books were steady sellers despite their considerable size and expense and despite being accessible only to the Latin- literate.1 The impressive size of many early modern reference books is a symptom of the same stockpiling mentality that motivated the large collections of reading notes. But while note- takers could rely on their memories to find their way around their notes, printed reference works needed to offer readers formalized finding devices with which to navigate materials they had not had a hand in preparing. These tools often came with instructions for use, which indicate that despite medieval precedents for some of them, readers of early printed books were not assumed to master them. For example, Conrad Gesner explained the reference function of his alphabeti- cally arranged natural history of animals in five volumes (Historia animalium, 1551): the “utility of lexica [like this] comes not from reading it from beginning to end, which would be more tedious than useful, but from consulting it from time to time [ut consulat ea per intervalla].”2 Here the classical Latin term consulere, usually applied to the consultation of people or oracles for advice, was applied to books; aware of introducing a new usage of the term Gesner added “per inter- valla” to make clear the intermittent and nonsequential nature of the reading he had in mind.

    NORTHERN PAIUTE HISTORY PROJECT PAPER COLLECTION UNIVERSITY OF OREGON HONORS COLLEGE COURSE 2014 HC 444 DECOLONIZING RESEARCH: THE NORTHERN PAIUTE HISTORY PROJECT ©Soo Hwang; Kimi Lerner; Jan Raether; Simone Smith; Madeline Weissman Northern Paiute History Project Paper Collection 2014 University of Oregon Honors College Course Student Papers Introduction Is it with the deepest honor that the course instructors, Kevin Hatfield and Jennifer O’Neal, and Visiting Scholar James Gardner, share this collection of five student research papers from the fall 2013 University of Oregon Honors College course “Race and Ethnicity in the American West: The Cultural History of the Northern Great Basin” with our Northern Paiute community partners from Warm Springs and Burns. Soo Hwang, Kimi Lerner, Jan Raether, Simone Smith, and Madeline Weissman exemplified the community‐based, intercultural, decolonizing philosophy of the course. Following the high aspirations of the course instructors, the students’ original research combined oral history and archival materials, to contribute new knowledge to the field of Northern Paiute history. The generous collaboration and tribal knowledge of the community partners—Wilson Wewa, Myra Johnson‐Orange, Julie Johnson, Ruth Lewis, Randall Lewis, and Valerie Switzler— ensured that the student exploration of Northern Paiute history honors and reflects Native American perspectives and research protocols. We wish to reaffirm our gratitude for our community partners’ dedication to the class, students, and the history of the Northern Paiute people—their knowledge and involvement ensured the success of the course and enriched and deepened the students’ scholarship. We designed a learning environment for the course that intentionally reached beyond the traditional history classroom and instruction.

  • English Book Owners in the Seventeenth Century a Work in Progress Listing
    English book owners in the seventeenth century A work in progress listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: • What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? • How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? • How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance , extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. The Cambridge History of Libraries in Britain and Ireland (2006) contains much relevant information in this field, summarising existing scholarship, and references to this have been included in individual entries below where appropriate.
