    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COlfiMITTEE: Ann Weikel, Chairman Charles LeGuin · Michael Reardon This thesis examines the general economic and intel- lectual climate of the mid-Tudor Commonwealth as a background for a specific study of the financial reforms instituted by Edward VI's government while the Duke of Northumberland controlled the Privy Council. The philosophy behind these measures parallels the principles expressed in A Discourse of the Commonweal of this Realm of England, a treatise written in 1549 by Sir Thomas Smith, Secretary to King Edward.

John Smith, with 17 men, held a fort called Vaux’s Fort or Fort Vause/Vass/Vance/ Vaus, which was located on the headwaters of the Roanoke River, about 10 miles from where Christianburg now stands. This fort was attacked by a large number of French soldiers & Shawnee Indians. After a brave resistance for 3 days, the garrison agreed to surrender the fort, upon stipulation allowing them to return to their homes.

  • TUTOR: Sir Thomas Smith (1513-1577)
    “SHAKESPEARE’S” TUTOR: Sir Thomas Smith (1513-1577) Stephanie Hopkins Hughes ❦ Prospero: Knowing I loved my books, he furnished me, From my own library, with volumes that I prize above my dukedom. The Tempest: I.2 HAT did Shakespeare know? As so many scholars have shown–– whether or not they have accepted their own abundant proofs––the evidence reveals a writer fluent in Latin and classical Greek (Green- wood 93, 98), in contemporary French (Henry V:III.3, Shaheen 361) and Italian (Grillo 125-6); one who had read and remembered a great deal of history, both the history of his own nation (Bullough 3.xi, Shaheen 360) and that of ancient times (Cantor 10); and although he didn’t always reflect what he knew in his plays exactly the way it happened, much must be allowed for the pur- poses of drama. He was familiar with the Bible, particularly the Geneva Bible (Shaheen 39) and the Book of Common Prayer (51). He was familiar with the works of ancient philoso- phers, Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero (Baldwin 412). He was familiar with the ancient Greek dramatists as with the Romans Plautus, Juvenal, Cicero and Virgil (Churton Collins as qtd. in Greenwood 93, 98-9); with Terence and Seneca, (Muir 18, 255-7); with his Continental contemporaries, Ronsard (Lewis 170), Ariosto (Grillo 129), and Tasso (131). He was high- ly trained in techniques of rhetoric (Joseph 44-5). He was so highly trained in the law that, as a matter of course, he communicated easily in metaphors couched in abstruse legal termi- nology (Greenwood 375-6).

  • Teaching Natural Philosophy and Mathematics at Oxford and Cambridge 1500 – 1570
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Teaching Natural Philosophy and Mathematics at Oxford and Cambridge 1500 – 1570 James Hannam Pembroke College, University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. The syllabus in natural philosophy and mathematics was radically changed in the course of the sixteenth century with new subjects, textbooks and methods introduced. Education became more practical and less dependent on medieval antecedents. Printing technology improved textbooks and made it possible to replace them with newer versions. Following sweeping syllabus reform around 1500, the Cambridge Master of Arts course was heavily slanted towards humanism. The old scholastic textbooks were rejected and replaced with modern authors. The purpose of natural philosophy was explicitly to illuminate the providential work of the creator, especially through natural history (a newly developing subject in the sixteenth century thanks to newly translated and promulgated Greek texts) where examples of God’s work were there for all to see. Oxford remained wedded to scholastic texts although the trivium was reformed along humanistic lines. Cromwell’s visitors in 1535 outlawed scholasticism by decree but gave little indication of the alternative (their white list stipulating only Aristotle). The solution adopted by the Oxford masters was to import the Cambridge syllabus and textbooks wholesale. When the evangelical regime of Edward VI reformed the universities in 1549, the humanist natural philosophy syllabus was adjudged appropriate, especially those parts promoted by Philip Melanchthon at the University of Wittenberg.

  • INTRODUCTION Late in the Year 1553, at the Peak of a Distinguished
    INTRODUCTION Late in the year 1553, at the peak of a distinguished academic career, Peter Martyr Vermigli departed hastily from England en route to Stras- bourg and Zurich. The great Italian reformer had served for six years as Regius professor of divinity in the University of Oxford at the per- sonal invitation of Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury. While at Oxford, Vermigli had participated in a critical disputation on the Eucharist, assisted Cranmer in the revision of the Book of Common Prayer (1552), and served on a royal commission for the reform of the canon law. Following the death of Edward VI, the course of the Reformation in England was suddenly reversed. During the ensuing persecution of Protestants under Queen Mary, numerous English scholars soon fol- lowed Vermigli to Strasbourg and thence to Zurich where they contin- ued to hear his lectures and to promote with him the cause of reli- gious reform throughout Europe. Several of these Marian exiles in Zurich were to become prominent players in the Elizabethan Settle- ment; among them were no less than six future bishops, a clutch of Privy Councillors, and some of the leading lights of humanist, classical scholarship in the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Of twenty- three episcopal appointments made in the period 1559–1562,four- teen were returned Marian exiles.1 Among Elizabeth’s newly appointed bishops six had been Bullinger’s guests at Zurich: John Jewel of Salis- bury, Richard Cox of Ely, John Parkhurst of Norwich, Edwin Sandys of Worcester, James Pilkington of Durham, Robert Horne of Winchester.

  • The Queen's College of Saint Margaret and Saint Bernard
    Queens’ College Cambridge 1 Copyright reserved, University of Cambridge The Queen’s College of Saint Margaret and Saint Bernard St. Margaret commonly known as St. Bernard Queens’ College in the University of Cambridge A brief illustrated history designed and edited by M. M. Scarr, G.M., M.A. Saints as depicted on tiled mantle in Old Hall. Probably attributable to Burne-Jones. 2 Origin and Foundation Riots and strife in Oxford at the beginning of the thirteenth century drove masters and students from that City to towns in which they could teach and study in peace. Cambridge University owes its origin to the arrival of some of these refugees in Cambridge. Many continued to live and work in the town instead of returning to Oxford when, later, it was safe to do so. They were sufficient in number to create an attractive centre of teaching and learning and to lay the foundation of the reputation for scholarship which has prevailed throughout the centuries and ensured recognition of Cambridge University as a renowned institution of research and learning.
