William Herle's Report of the Dutch Situation, 1573
LIVES AND LETTERS, VOL. 1, NO. 1, SPRING 2009 Signs of Intelligence: William Herle’s Report of the Dutch Situation, 1573 On the 11 June 1573 the agent William Herle sent his patron William Cecil, Lord Burghley a lengthy intelligence report of a ‘Discourse’ held with Prince William of Orange, Stadtholder of the Netherlands.∗ Running to fourteen folio manuscript pages, the Discourse records the substance of numerous conversations between Herle and Orange and details Orange’s efforts to persuade Queen Elizabeth to come to the aid of the Dutch against Spanish Habsburg imperial rule. The main thrust of the document exhorts Elizabeth to accept the sovereignty of the Low Countries in order to protect England’s naval interests and lead a league of protestant European rulers against Spain. This essay explores the circumstances surrounding the occasion of the Discourse and the context of the text within Herle’s larger corpus of correspondence. In the process, I will consider the methods by which the study of the material features of manuscripts can lead to a wider consideration of early modern political, secretarial and archival practices. THE CONTEXT By the spring of 1573 the insurrection in the Netherlands against Spanish rule was seven years old. Elizabeth had withdrawn her covert support for the English volunteers aiding the Dutch rebels, and was busy entertaining thoughts of marriage with Henri, Duc d’Alençon, brother to the King of France. Rejecting the idea of French assistance after the massacre of protestants on St Bartholomew’s day in Paris the previous year, William of Orange was considering approaching the protestant rulers of Europe, mostly German Lutheran sovereigns, to form a strong alliance against Spanish Catholic hegemony. -

The Shropshire Enlightenment: a Regional Study of Intellectual Activity in the Late Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries
The Shropshire Enlightenment: a regional study of intellectual activity in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by Roger Neil Bruton A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The focus of this study is centred upon intellectual activity in the period from 1750 to c1840 in Shropshire, an area that for a time was synonymous with change and innovation. It examines the importance of personal development and the influence of intellectual communities and networks in the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge. It adds to understanding of how individuals and communities reflected Enlightenment aspirations or carried the mantle of ‘improvement’ and thereby contributes to the debate on the establishment of regional Enlightenment. The acquisition of philosophical knowledge merged into the cultural ethos of the period and its utilitarian characteristics were to influence the onset of Industrial Revolution but Shropshire was essentially a rural location. The thesis examines how those progressive tendencies manifested themselves in that local setting. -

The Royal Library As a Source for Sir Robert Cotton's Collection: a Preliminary List of Acquisitions
THE ROYAL LIBRARY AS A SOURCE FOR SIR ROBERT COTTON'S COLLECTION: A PRELIMINARY LIST OF ACQUISITIONS JAMES P. CARLEY PUBLIC Record Office, Augmentation Office, Misc. Books i6o (E. 315/160), ff. iO7v-i2or, contains an alphabetical list of 910 books, printed and manuscript, found in the Upper Library at Westminster Palace in 1542.^ At approximately the same time the inventory was compiled, so it would appear, a number was entered into each book: this number corresponded to the place where the book occurred in the alphabetical sequences established by the list. Slightly afterwards, probably around 1550, more books came to Whitehall - presumably from Hampton Court and Greenwich - and these too were put into alphabetical order and an inventory number inserted.^ Somewhat later the printed and manuscript books were separated.^ The form of the inventory number inserted in each book is characteristic: it is always found on an upper recto corner of an early folio, and always takes the form 'No '. Most of the manuscripts found in the Upper Library at Westminster Palace, and it is manuscripts alone that I shall be discussing in this paper, were rescued from monastic houses at the time of the Dissolution^ and many have remained in the royal collection ever since. Not every title in the inventory, however, can be matched with a surviving royal book: indeed, approximately half disappeared at some point after 1542. The first major disruption, it would seem, must have occurred shortly after Henry VIII's death in 1547, in the period when Traheron, a radical evangehst, was librarian and when Edward VI's injunctions concerning the destruction of popish books were promulgated.'' Throughout Elizabeth's reign, too, books trickled out. -
Shakespearean Character and Cultural Change in the Eighteenth Century Amanda Cockburn, Department of Engl
“Magical Glasses”: Shakespearean Character and Cultural Change in the Eighteenth Century Amanda Cockburn, Department of English, McGill University, Montreal October 2011 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) © Amanda Cockburn, 2011 Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge the exceptional guidance provided by my two supervisors, Paul Yachnin and Fiona Ritchie. Paul Yachnin’s enthusiasm for this project always put wind in my sails. I invariably left our meetings with a clearer vision of my own argument, thanks to Paul’s ability to help me untangle or articulate an idea with which I’d been struggling. I also left our meetings and took from our email exchanges a renewed determination and energy with which to approach my research. I am especially grateful for such a kind and generous mentor during my intellectual growth at McGill. I am also grateful for Fiona’s expertise in shaping this dissertation. Her knowledge of the field struck me many times as dauntingly encyclopedic, and I am indebted to her learning and indispensible feedback. I thank her for consistently pointing me to articles and books that proved invaluable to the development of my argument. I also must thank both Paul and Fiona for their extraordinarily perceptive and meticulous editing. I likewise thank members of the Shakespeare and Performance Research Team at McGill University, especially Michael Bristol for our conversations about Shakespeare and moral philosophy, and Wes Folkerth, whose graduate class on Shakespearean Character helped form the initial idea for this project. I am also deeply indebted to SPRITE for sending me twice to the Folger Shakespeare Library, that wonderful treasure trove, where I whet my appetite for archival work and afternoon tea. -

H., Leipzig ERSTER BAND: DIE GESCHICHTE Les pages intermédiaires sont blanchespagesLessont intermédiaires I. ABENDLÄNDISCHE BUCHHANDSCHRIFTENZEIT m Altertum waren Archive und Bibliotheken anfangs nicht unter I schieden, weil der Begriff einer Bibliothek als der einer auf gestellten Büchersammlung, die Literatur ordnete, von dem einer Literatur, als der Schrifttumsentwicklung, nicht zu trennen war. Alltagsbedürfnissen diente die Anwendung einer Schrift zuerst ; nach und nach nur wurden die schriftlichen Aufzeichnungen zu Trägern geistiger und seelischer Schöpfungen, die in einer Buchform ihre dauerndere Verkörperung als Schrifttumswerke suchten. Die ägyp tischen Papyrusrollen in frühester Zeit waren Archive der Behörden, vornehmlich der Steuerbehörden; sie bildeten die äußere Einrich tung der Bibliotheken vor, zumal da die äußere Form der Buch handschriften und Urkundenhandschriften sich nicht erheblich unterschied. Vielleicht ist der ägyptische König Osymandyas, von dem Diodorus Siculus [I, 49, 3] berichtet, er hätte, der älteste benannte Bibliophile, seiner die Aufschrift hrift gegeben, nur eine Sage. Aber Bedeutung und Bezeichnug der Bibliothek, die aus dem Ägyptischen von den Griechen entlehnt zu sein scheinen, haben höchstwahrscheinlich schon im Nillande den Begriff einer Sammlung von Schriftwerken gewonnen, der seit der hellenistischen Zeit allgemein üblich wurde und der sich dann weiter auch auf die Buchtitel ausdehnte, die den Inbegriff einer Schatzkammer des menschlichen Geistes mit einem einzigen Worte nennen wollten. -
Deciphering the Cotton Genesis Miniatures: Preliminary Observations Concerning the Use of Colour
DECIPHERING THE COTTON GENESIS MINIATURES: PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE USE OF COLOUR MARIAN WENZEL THE COTTON GENESIS AND ITS STUDENTS THE Cotton Genesis (British Library, Cotton MS. Otho B. vi) was written and illuminated at some point during the period ofthe fourth to sixth centuries AD, and very badly charred in the Cotton Library fire of 1731. Since 1979 I have been recording all the decipherable features ofthe 200 or so surviving miniatures as full-size copies. These are not reconstructions, since I have not attempted to supply anything which is not visible to the naked eye; my intention has been to make available at a glance features which often can be read only with great difficulty (e.g. by careful comparison ofthe recto and verso of a leaf) on the fire-damaged originals. My interest in the project began when I prepared a number of ink wash monochrome renderings, for a Dumbarton Oaks-sponsored project undertaken by Professors Kurt Weitzmann and Herbert Kessler, of a group of miniatures which were on the most legible of those pages too badly damaged for simple photographic reproduction. (The results of their work are to appear as The Cotton Genesis, British Library, Codex Cotton Otho B. VI,^ though some ideas have already been adumbrated in the Kurt Weitzmann contribution to Otto Demus's book The Mosaics of San Marco in Venice).'^ During my work on these, I came to a conclusion mucb less pessimistic than that originally maintained by Weitzmann and Kessler as to the number of miniatures which could yield meaningful results. -
