107593545.23.Pdf r ftbe Scottish tTeyt Society The Maitland Folio Manuscript The Maitland Folio Manuscript Containing Poems by SIR RICHARD MAITLAND, DUNBAR, DOUGLAS, HENRYSON And Others EDITED BY W. A. CRAIGIE, LL.D., D.Litt. PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH IN THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, AND CO-EDITOR OF THE OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY VOL. II. Printeti fat tlje Sactetg fog WILLIAM BLACKWOOD & SONS LTD. EDINBURGH AND LONDON 1927 Printed in Great Britain All Rights reserved PREFACE. The delay in the appearance of this volume is due to several causes, the most relevant of which is the editing, in the interim, of the Maitland Quarto and the two volumes of the Asloan MS. The printing of the complete text of the Quarto has made it unnecessary to give, in the notes to this volume, a full collation of the pieces which it has in common with the Folio. These notes are naturally not intended as a detailed commentary on the texts ; their main object is to indicate briefly the relationship of the Maitland version of each piece to such other copies as exist, and to render superfluous any further reference to Reidpeth’s transcript or Pinkerton’s edition. The vocabulary is intended as an index of words and forms rather than as a glossary, and detailed explanation or discussion of obscure terms has been avoided. I am indebted to Dr D. Hay Fleming for the list of contents of the Drummond MS., and to Mr George Watson for assistance in reading the proofs. W. A. CRAIGIE. CONTENTS. PAGE I. The Manuscript i II. The Reidpeth Manuscript .... 7 III. Pinkerton’s Edition of the Maitland MSS. 11 IV. The Maitland Club Edition of Sir Richard Maitland’s Poems 31 V. Notes on the Texts 34 VI. Vocabulary 135 VII. Index of Proper Names .... 183 Maitland Folio MS. I. THE MANUSCRIPT. In its present state the Maitland Folio contains 183 leaves of text; each leaf is separately mounted,1 so that the original distribution into quires is no longer obvious. The pages, not the leaves, are numbered, and thus amount to 366. Of two prefixed pages, the first bears an engraved portrait of Pepys, by R. White ; on the second is inscribed, in a hand apparently of the seventeenth century— A Collection of several Poems by Richard Maitland of Lethington and Others. Pasted inside the front cover is a piece of paper containing— “ Directions for arranging the Folio Manuscript. The end of the Folio is certainly as it originally / stood 1 The dimensions of the mounted leaf are lo}i by 5^ inches, or 261 by 139 millimetres. The present number of the MS. is 2553. Older numbers are 1400^ and 1589. VOL. II. A 2 MAITLAND FOLIO MS. as it bears the Epitaphs of Sir Richard Maitland./ To arrange the MS. right we must begin at the End. Insert p. I after 360. Take out p. 309 and insert after 296. Leaf 252 should be cut out & the last page put first. Leaf 244 is in the same predicament. Leaves 65, 73, and 75 insert before 81. Leaf 67 put at the beginning of all, as it is a detached leaf. Leaves 55 and 57 put before 59. A leaf or more is wanting p. 265. With these very few Alterations the Folio MS. / would be rendered as perfect as possible. Cambridge 1 Dec. 1784 J. P.” As these directions by Pinkerton indicate, a number of leaves have been wrongly placed in the bound volume, and it is clear from Reidpeth’s copy that the misplacing had already come in to some extent before 1622. In the present edition the proper order of the leaves has been restored, the exact misplacement being clearly shown by the marginal numbers, and occasionally indicated in footnotes. The manuscript is written in a variety of hands, the succession of which is regularly given in the footnotes, but the greater portion is the work of one scribe. Placing this first, the distribution of the various hands is as follows, the pages being numbered as in the MS. :— A. 19-35. 4I-50> 53-4. 59-264 (except 67-8); pp. 257-264 are in very faint ink, and many of the earher pages are also faint. 265-338 (in black ink). As mentioned in the Preface to Vol. I., it is clear that pp. 41-264 have been wrongly inserted between 40 and 265, resulting in an interruption of the sequence of Sir THE MANUSCRIPT. 3 Richard Maitland’s poems, and, by some accident, in the loss of the first ten stanzas of No. XCIV. B. pp. 35-37- G- PP- 343-350, 357-366. C. „ 37-38, 55-58, 51- H. „ 350-351- D. „ 38. I- „ 351-356. E. „ 39-40. K. „ 356. F. „ 50, 55- From p. 343 to p. 366 the hands are more cursive than in the main portions of the MS., especially pp. 350-356. Still other hands appear on the leaves which do not originally belong to the MS., viz. :— L. pp. 1-18, 339-342. M. pp. 67-8. The evidence of the different hands, together with the date of some of the pieces, indicates pretty clearly that the manuscript was begun in or about 1570, as pp. 19-35 contain, in one hand, poems earher than that date; PP- 35-37 and 37-38, in different hands, are both of the year 1570 ; and the remainder of 38, with 39 and 40, is filled in with minor pieces. Pages 41-50 then contain Arbuthnot’s two poems, of which the second is dated 1571 ; the remainder of this portion (50, 55-8, 51) is again filled with minor pieces. In addition to the text of the poems, the pages of the MS. occasionally contain later matter of trifling value. At the bottom of p. 37, in an early hand, occurs :— Non possunt perire pro quibus films rogat ne pereant/ pro quibus pater tradidit filium in mortem ut viuant./ Ait bernard. (h)onorantes me honorabo, ait dominus. On p. 185, in an early seventeenth-century hand, is a bad copy of some fines of Stewart’s poem :— And pan shall geir grow in thy ground And welth up walking shall hot weir And riches in thy realme abwnd And peace bwt (sic) ple[n]tie shall appear 4 MAITLAND FOLIO MS. I pray god and his mother dear flair prince for thy prosperitye And grant the grace to perseveir In law and Liberty. Ther is thy barrowes (sic) ge about If 36 wal Iwifit with them be and mak thy legges for to wryt with Iwfe and liberty think gat king is bot ane man and man is polysit (?) efter his dead and thocht ane man all sience can. This is followed, in a different hand, by some lines from the Gude and Godlie Ballatis (S.T.S., p. 63) :— Alace that same sweit face died vpon ane tree to purche (sic) mankynd pace from sine to mak ws free alone to be our remedie to graith owr place full meit He o is asended hea and lett ws with His spirit to worchip spiritiwally only to our remeidy he bad when was gone Apply us helleyaly (?) to serwe our god only. The lower half of p. 256 is filled up with entries in several hands as follows :— (1) Quod maister gavvin douglas Bishop of dunkeld. e~£>zSLr (2) Johne Maitland L. thirlstane c. of Scotland died 3 October 1595 vixit annos 52. (3) Quod maister gavvin douglas Bishop of dunkeld. (4) Sr Richard Maitland off Lethingtoun kny4 died Liued of 3eiris Ixxxxij (5) M. Thomas maitland died in itallie 1572 and Lived of 3eiris 22. Of these entries (1) and (3) are in different hands, but apparently both of the seventeenth century. The second might be contemporary with the event it records, and (4) THE MANUSCRIPT. 5 and (5) are in the same hand. To the left of (3), in another hand, is— This buke pertenis to helyne m. This is no doubt Sir Richard’s daughter Helen, who married Sir John Cockburn of Clerkington. On p. 258 “ ffinis ” is in the same hand and ink as the poem ; " quod . coldinghame ” is in the same hand but different ink ; “ and . 1595 ” is in the same hand as note (2) on p. 256. Various Latin lines are written on the lower half of P- 365 :— Omen (sic) crede diem tibi diluxisse supremuw Vbi minime credis, gurgite piscis eris. Noctes a.tque dies patent (sic) atri Janua ditis O potens rerum Deus aure Mitis exaudi mea verba mente non dura . Percipe questus Exiguum munus cum det tibi pauper amicus Accipito placide et plene laudare memento A considerable number of pages in the Folio, up to p. 254, are furnished with catchwords, and these are sometimes of value in supplying or confirming the initial word or words of a faded page. The full list of those now remaining is :— P. 8 Gett. 9 Off euer. 12 Off schrewis. 14 Syne lyck.

  • The Culture of Literature and Language in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland
    The Culture of Literature and Language in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland 15th International Conference on Medieval and Renaissance Scottish Literature and Language (ICMRSLL) University of Glasgow, Scotland, 25-28 July 2017 Draft list of speakers and abstracts Plenary Lectures: Prof. Alessandra Petrina (Università degli Studi di Padova), ‘From the Margins’ Prof. John J. McGavin (University of Southampton), ‘“Things Indifferent”? Performativity and Calderwood’s History of the Kirk’ Plenary Debate: ‘Literary Culture in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland: Perspectives and Patterns’ Speakers: Prof. Sally Mapstone (Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of St Andrews) and Prof. Roger Mason (University of St Andrews and President of the Scottish History Society) Plenary abstracts: Prof. Alessandra Petrina: ‘From the margins’ Sixteenth-century Scottish literature suffers from the superimposition of a European periodization that sorts ill with its historical circumstances, and from the centripetal force of the neighbouring Tudor culture. Thus, in the perception of literary historians, it is often reduced to a marginal phenomenon, that draws its force solely from its powers of receptivity and imitation. Yet, as Philip Sidney writes in his Apology for Poetry, imitation can be transformed into creative appropriation: ‘the diligent imitators of Tully and Demosthenes (most worthy to be imitated) did not so much keep Nizolian paper-books of their figures and phrases, as by attentive translation (as it were) devour them whole, and made them wholly theirs’. The often lamented marginal position of Scottish early modern literature was also the key to its insatiable exploration of continental models and its development of forms that had long exhausted their vitality in Italy or France.

  • Spinning Scotland Abstr
    1 ABSTRACTS FOR SPINNING SCOTLAND CONFERENCE GLASGOW UNIVERSITY - 13 th SEPTEMBER 2008 2 PANEL 1: ISLAND POETRY – ON THE FRINGE? Iain MacDonald – Linden J Bicket – Emma Dymock 9.30 – 11am Iain MacDonald The Very Heart of Beyond: Gaelic Nationalism and the Work of Fionn Mac Colla. The work of Fionn Mac Colla (Thomas Douglas Macdonald) examines the development of religious ideas and politics on Scottish society. He was primarily concerned with the representation of Scottish Gaelic and the cultural implications for Scotland with the erosion and re-establishment of Gaelic culture and identity in the industrialising modern era. These themes are most comprehensively explored in his best-known works, The Albannach (1932) and And The Cock Crew (1945) J.L. Broom's claim that MacColla's obsession with Calvinism's influence over Scotland had 'reached such proportions as to have distorted his artistic priorities' has influenced attitudes and encouraged lazy critical reception of the writer. It is my contention that MacColla's contribution to the developing 'Scottish Literary Renaissance' of the 1920s and 30s can be described as major, even if, at times, deserved critical reception has been thwarted. Mac Colla's work is primarily concerned with Scottish Gaelic culture, and its history. Although his fictional work concentrates on Gaelic communities in the central Highlands, Mac Colla spent 20 years living and teaching in the Hebrides. In this paper I will demonstrate that Mac Colla's work and themes are interwoven with his own experiences of the Gaelic community. I will also examine the title of this panel with reference to Fionn Mac Colla.

The petition states that recent Scottish literary scholarship has “(a) recognised the wealth and distinctiveness of the Scottish literary tradition, and (b) sought to redress the anglo-centric bias of earlier treatments of Scottish writing…” (Corbett et al 1).

One aspect of this record puzzled Drummond's bibliographer and editor, R. H. MacDonald. This was Drummond's idiosyncratic use of the term "fatall." Drummond first employs this in the "Memorialls" to describe something that happened when he was twenty-five: "Tusday the 21 of Agust [sic] 1610 about Noone by the Death of my father began to be fatall to mee the 25 of my age" (Poems, p.

(Martial, Epigrams, II, 86) ii ABSTRACT The research detailed in this thesis explores the largely uncharted territory represented by the Hawthornden manuscripts (Edinburgh, National Library of Scotland, MSS 2063-67) of William Fowler, Scottish courtier in Edinburgh and London and attached to the court of Queen Anna of Denmark between 1590 and 1612. The research has focused on material evidence of scribal culture, with the aim of clarifying issues of localization of specific texts and typologies of texts in relation to their social, literary and more broadly cultural background. Based on the fragmentary evidence in the Hawthornden manuscript, this project engages in the exploration of one of the “cultural places of the European Renaissance”, focusing on the early Stuart courtly establishment in the first decade of the seventeenth century. The aim is, on the one hand, to close a series of scholarly gaps in the field of manuscript-based studies of the Scottish Jacobean Renaissance, and on the other, to increase our knowledge of British Jacobean cultural life in the broader sense of the word.

    ~ 1 ~ Voglie divise : William Drummond of Hawthornden and Petrarchan national sentiment in the wake of the Union of the Crowns Patrick Hart ([email protected]) This paper brings together two recent developments in early modern literary history: a renewed focus on Petrarchism’s role in the cultivation of national sentiment across Europe (exemplified by William Kennedy’s The Site of Petrarchism (2003)); and the geopolitical turn towards ‘the British problem’ - that is, toward questions of national and regional identity in the North-West Atlantic archipelago around the time of the Union of the Crowns in 1603. In Archipelagic English (2008), a study exemplary of this latter movement, John Kerrigan offers an intimidatingly sophisticated reading of how William Drummond’s work was conditioned by the relative isolation of Scotland within a culturally conflicted regal union. However, he makes barely any mention of the Petrarchan poetry upon which Drummond’s literary reputation rests, beyond noting that it has been ‘misconstrued as a hangover from Elizabethan Petrarchism’. This is surprising. As Kennedy observes, the premise that the Petrarchan sonnet provides a site for the expression and exploration of early modern national sentiment is ‘not controversial’, and, given Scotland’s ambivalent status post-Union we might ESSE 2010 Patrick Hart — Drummond and Petrarchan National Sentiment ~ 2 ~ expect the sonneteering of the ‘Petrarch of the North’ to be the site of particularly intriguing such explorations. But Kennedy, too, in his own study, while mentioning Petrarchism’s role in the shaping of national sentiment in Italy, France, Spain, England, Germany, Eastern Europe and the New World, never touches on the growing fascination of Scottish poets for the Petrarchan sonnet sequence in the wake of the union of the Crowns.
