Views Before That August Body and the Parliament Which Was Back of It, in Hopes That He Might Inñuence the Final Form of the Church Discipline
1936.] Report of the Librarian 153 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN THE USE OF THE LIBRARY TN accepting membership in the American Anti- -•• quarian Society in 1915, the Right Honorable Sir George Otto Trevelyan, distinguished historian of the American Revolution, said: "Recognition from such a body as the American Antiquarian Society has for me a value of a rare character. I shall never see Worcester or enter the Library in which henceforth I should have the privilege of reading but I accept the position of membership with gratitude and pleasure." Many other English and Continental scholars have been more fortunate than Sir George and have spent happy and profitable hours within these walls. This summer as never before our reading room has, at times, been thronged with historical students occupying every available seat. The follower of the curious hobby of license plate hunting would have been richly re- warded by an examination of the cars parked about our building, for he would have found plates from almost every state in the union in the course of a few midsummer visits. As soon as the last college class has been dismissed many a historian packs his travelling bag and the notes for his forthcoming volume and turns the prow of his trusty car toward Worcester. The subjects of their inquiries are of infinite variety and all of their problems are interesting. A scholar from the University of Kansas wished to know when aerial photography began and was delighted when we produced a balloon photograph of Boston taken, believe it or not, in 1860. -

Banners in Heraldic Art
Banners in heraldic art Magnus Backrnark Abstract The banner is very useful to heraldic art. It is a carrier of charges and colours, just like its coun terpart the shield. But where the shield can be seen as crude, heavy, flat and robust - its purpose being taking hits- the banner is brilliant, swift, full of I ife and motion. Its purpose is spiritual. It is lifted above anyone's head, above dust and confusion, for inspiration and guiding. Something of this character, I will with this article try to show by examples that the heraldic artist, if lucky, can translate in his or her work. First, we could though take a quick glance at the historical development of banners. The term banner approves, as we shall see, to a specific kind of flag, but in a wide sense of the word a banner is any ensign made of a peace of cloth, carried on a staff and with symbolic value to its owner(s). The profound nature of this innovation, which seem to be of oriental origin, makes it the mother of all kinds of flags. The etymologi cal root of the word banner is the French word banniere, derived from latin bandaria, bandum, which has German extraction, related to gothic bandwa, bandw6, 'sign'. 1 The birth of heraldry in the l2 h century Western world was preceded by centuries of use of early forms of banners, called gonfanons. From Bysantium to Normandy, everywhere in the Christian world, these ensigns usually were small rectangular lance flags with tai Is (Fig. -
Job's Colophon and Its Contradictions1 There Are Many
Job’s Colophon and Its Contradictions1 Thomas M. Bolin, St. Norbert College There are many parts of the Bible that people find boring: the genealogies in the first eight chapters of 1 Chronicles, the description of the ark and tabernacle in Exodus 25-31 (re- peated in chapters 35-40) or of the temple in 1 Kings or Ezekiel. These texts are often over- looked by readers because they are long, detailed, and repetitive. But these qualities are also what make them noticed. They must be acknowledged before they are skipped over or other- wise left unregarded. In contrast, the lowly biblical colophon has nothing similar by which it can assert itself to the reader. Colophons often go by unnoticed. They are the textual equiva- lents of the human appendix: structural relics of a bygone time that have outlived their useful- ness. They are the Rodney Dangerfield of ancient text forms. At best they can yield form-crit- ical data, as Michael Fishbane has argued on the basis of colophons in the legal collections of Leviticus and Numbers;2 or be used as evidence of redactional activity, such as the colophon in Psalm 72:20 which denotes the end of a collection of Davidic psalms,3 or be read to glean information about ancient Israelite scribal practices, as is the case with Karel Van Der Toorn’s use of Hos 14:10.4 The Anchor Bible Dictionary, the premiere multi-volume reference work of the past generation, contains no entry on the colophon. The work of Chaim Gevaryahu re- mains the most recent detailed study of the phenomenon,5 but he studies colophons in order to explain the origin of biblical superscriptions. -

Material Memory: Willa Cather, “My First Novels [There Were Two]”, and The Colophon: A Book Collector’s Quarterly Introduction Willa Cather’s 1931 essay “My First Novels [There Were Two]” occupies a distinct position in Cather scholarship. Along with essays like “The Novel Démeublé” and “On The Professor’s House ” it is routinely invoked to established a handful of central details about the writer and her emerging career. It is enlisted most often to support the degree to which Cather distanced herself from her first novel Alexander’s Bridge and established her second novel O Pioneers! As a sort of second first novel, the novel in which she first found her voice by writing about the Nebraska prairie and its people. -

TABLE OF CONTENTS 2 Printing 7 Paper 11 Bookbinding 18 Stocking your Studio The PCBA Resource Guide is, on the one hand, a practical catalogue of book arts resources. On the other, it is an 22 Schools and Workshops inspiration guide and jumping off point. We’ve listed na- tional and Bay-Area stores that sell the usual (paper, glue, 24 Selling your Artists’ Book thread) and the unusual (ribbon, scrap metal). We’ve left 26 Web Links white space for your personal notes. And in the margins, we’ve suggested starting places on the web for you to begin 28 Index or continue an exploration into book arts. The table of contents on the right may seem, at first glance, bare bones, but in this issue we’ve also included an extensive index. The web is teeming with information and opinions on binding, supplies, and book arts in general. This guide could just point to several web sites and be done. But the Bay Area has a wealth of resources, and why order on-line when you can drive to a store, touch the paper, see the exact color and then trip across the very pattern you didn’t know you were looking for? Of course the national sources have to be included. Since all the national suppliers have web sites with on-line cata- logues, we’ve listed only the site address, phone number and city & state of the supplier. For out-of-state suppliers with no web site, we’ve listed an email address if available. The Resource Guide wouldn’t have been possible without the diligent prodding and dedication of Debbie Kogan. -

[ALMANAC.] The Royal Engagement Pocket Atlas for the Year 1789. To be continued annually. [Published by T. Baker, Southampton; W. March … Davidsons’s and Field … London, 1788]. 12mo, pp. 3-34, [28, engraved calendar section], 63-92, [2], with an engraved title-page and a terminal engraved ‘memoranda leaf’; tax stamp to title-page; gilt edges; a fine copy, complete, in the original engraved wrappers (vignette of Atlas on the front cover, imprint at foot of rear cover, thumb-stain at head), and in the original pink card slipcase, engraved cover labels. $675 A fine and rare part-engraved almanac-cum-diary, with ‘twenty-four beautiful descriptive vignettes, finely engraved by Angus, selected from Goldsmith’s celebrated poem, the Deserted Village.’ The designs, though unattributed, are almost certainly by Thomas Stothard, whose work for Baker’s Royal Engagement Pocket Atlas was a commission he maintained for some fifty years; he would later illustrate the same text again, with entirely different vignettes, in the Atlas for 1799. The earliest Royal Engagement Pocket Atlas we can trace is for 1779 (in the Edward Hall diary collection in the Wigan archives), and ESTC records scattered holdings for other years up to 1800 (9 locations in total); it was published until at least 1830 and Stothard provided designs, many after literary subjects, from 1783 – Milton’s Allegro (1786 and 1788), Seward’s Louisa (1792), Thomson’s Seasons (1793 and 1796), and numerous scenes from Scott, Rogers and Byron (see Sandro Jung, ‘Thomas Stothard’s Illustrations for The Royal Engagement Pocket Atlas, 1779-1826’, The Library 7th Series, 12:1, 2011).
