Adam Smith's Library” Discuss this article at Journaltalk: https://journaltalk.net/articles/5990/ ECON JOURNAL WATCH 16(2) September 2019: 374–474 Foreword and Supplement to “Adam Smith’s Library: General Check-List and Index” Daniel B. Klein1 and Andrew G. Humphries2 LINK TO ABSTRACT To dwell in Adam Smith’s thought one places him in history and streams of discourse. We learn a bit about his personage from contemporary memoirs and accounts, his personal communications from his correspondence, and his influences from the allusions and references in his work. Also useful is the catalogue of his personal library. He did not much write inside the books he owned (Phillipson et al. 2019; Simpson 1979, 191), but Smith scholars use the listing of his personal library in interpreting his thought. The cataloguing of books belonging to Adam Smith has been the work of numerous scholars, the two chief figures being James Bonar (1852–1941) and Hiroshi Mizuta, who in September 2019 reached the age of 100 years. To aid scholarship, we here reproduce the checklist created by Mizuta (1967). We gratefully acknowledge the permission of both Professor Mizuta and the Royal Economic Society, which holds copyright. The 1967 checklist has been bettered, notably by Mizuta’s own complete account represented by Mizuta (2000). That work, however, does not lend itself to a handy checklist to be reproduced online. When Mizuta made the 1967 checklist, those of Smith’s books held by the University of Edinburgh had not all been recognized as such. When a librarian has a volume in hand, nearly the only way to determine that it had been in Smith’s library is by the presence of his bookplate, shown below. It is thought that Smith had the bookplate affixed to almost all of his books. In years subsequent to 1967, librarians 1. George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030. 2. Graduate student, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030. 374 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 2, SEPTEMBER 2019 FOREWORD AND SUPPLEMENT TO “ADAM SMITH'S LIBRARY” in Edinburgh gained a complete record of books bearing the bookplate (Simpson 1979). Edinburgh now has a complete listing of its Smith books in an Excel file online (link). Adam Smith’s bookplate. Image used with permission of Glasgow University Library Special Collections. We have checked every item listed in that Excel file to see whether it is included in Mizuta’s 1967 checklist. Here we provide as an appendix a 113-row listing to supplement that checklist. Scholars using the resources provided here therefore should check this single PDF file, containing both the reproduction of Mizuta’s 1967 checklist and the supplemental list.3 If a work is not listed in either of the two resources contained in the present PDF file, the scholar should feel quite sure that if Smith did ever own a copy the work, no one of this realm does or ever shall know that to have been the case. The checklist is a facsimile reproduction of pages 65–153 of Mizuta (1967), which present what is effectively one large table. We have suppressed the original running headers and page numbers. The only other changes we have made to the facsimile reproduction is that we have changed the labels on columns 2, 3, 4, and 5 of Mizuta’s table. The table has five columns: Column 1: Author. The items are listed in alphabetical order by “Author.” Mizuta (1967, xv) explains: “The name of the author, where known, is given in the first column; where the author’s name is not known the entry is under a significant word from the title; in cases of doubtful or disputed authorship, cross references 3. Mizuta (2000) could serve as a substitute for using our two resources, but it is extremely expensive and likely not to be found in one’s nearby libraries. VOLUME 16, NUMBER 2, SEPTEMBER 2019 375 KLEIN AND HUMPHRIES are given.” Column 2: Item Title. The term “item” has three sorts of incarnations: First, simply a single-volume standalone work; second, a pamphlet that is bound in a volume along with other items, each of which will have a separate item entry in the checklist; third, a multi-volume set listed as one item (thus many an item title is simply “Works”, “Oeuvres,” or “Opera”). About this column in the checklist Mizuta writes simply: “In the second column a short title is given.” So the checklist along with the supplemental Edinburgh list that we provide aid the scholar not by providing details about a particular item known to have been owned by Smith, but simply by providing a handy source for determining whether it was owned by Smith. If the scholar has determined that the item was owned by Smith, for details she could then go to any of the three more detailed sources that that item is listed in, which are: Bonar (1932); Mizuta’s Supplement to Bonar’s Catalogue (Mizuta 1967, 1–64); and Mizuta (2000). Incidentally, scholars should realize that Mizuta (2000) not only subsumes Bonar (1932) and Mizuta (1967) but also provides something that they do not: In Mizuta (2000) the user can find “quotations from Smith’s works where the book or author is mentioned by Smith himself,” “quotations from the book in question where Smith and his works are mentioned,” and “if it seems desirable, a short note on the author or the book” (Mizuta 2000, xxiii). Mizuta (2000), then, is not only a catalogue of Smith’s library, it is also a sort of indexing of the relevance of those works to Smith’s works.4 Column 3: Page in Bonar 1932. If the item is included in Bonar (1932), the column tells the page of that listing in Bonar. Column 4: Sheet in 1781 Cat. The words “1781 Cat.” refer to a manuscript catalogue that presumably Smith himself had had created in 1781, a catalogue of the inventory of his library. The 1781 catalogue is the second major way of establishing that a book was in Smith’s library (the other being the discovery of Smith’s bookplate within a book). As of 1932, the catalogue was held in Japan. Bonar knew of its existence but it was unavailable to him, and so books listed there but not known by Bonar to have been in Smith’s library are not included in his 1932 listing.5 The catalogue is the source for a majority of the items added by Mizuta (1967) to what had already been listed in Bonar (1932).6 Column 5: Page in Mizuta 1967 Supp. This column gives the page to the first part of Mizuta (1967), i.e., pages 1–64, which is the detailed listing of items 4. A larger survey of Smith’s library is currently underway by an international group of Smith scholars who are attempting to list and identify the marginalia present in the books. For their initial findings see Phillipson et al. 2019. 5. Bonar (1932, 214) notes his awareness of the 1781 catalogue (he dates it “1761” because of a miscommunication). 6. The 1781 catalogue is published in Yanaihara 1951, 73–126, see also the remarks about it at vii. 376 VOLUME 16, NUMBER 2, SEPTEMBER 2019 FOREWORD AND SUPPLEMENT TO “ADAM SMITH'S LIBRARY” supplemental to Bonar (1932). It is our hope that the PDF file provided here will make intelligence of whether an item was owned by Smith—to use an expression from his lectures— “more comeatible.” Appendix: Items held by the University of Edinburgh not clearly included in Mizuta’s 1967 checklist Below is a listing of Smith-owned items now held by the University of Edinburgh library that are not clearly in the Mizuta 1967 checklist. It has been constructed as follows: Working from the Excel file in which the library lists all its Smith items (link) we checked, item by item, to see whether the item is listed in Mizuta’s 1967 checklist. If listed there, we do not include it in this supplement. It might be that an item listed below is represented in Mizuta 1967, but in a way that left us uncertain about it being the same item. Sometimes our two sources attributed different authorship or some other variation. In such cases, however, when we concluded that the item is in Mizuta’s checklist, we do not duplicate the item with the Edinburgh-attributed information. When listing an item in the supplement below, we have, generally speaking, directly reproduced Edinburgh’s text. We have in some instances inserted notes pertaining to the item as it is represented in either Simpson (1979) or Mizuta (2000), and some multi-volume works are represented here with a single row whereas Edinburgh represented each volume in its own row. The very concept of ‘included in Mizuta’s 1967 checklist’ is itself sometimes a bit ambiguous, for some of Mizuta’s entries say “[With 6 others]” or similar; see, for example, the entries attributed to “Parlement.” Here we do not reproduce a number of French-language entries in the Excel file that involve the words “Parlement,” “roi,” “roy,” “royale,” “remontrances,” “assemblee,”́ and “tres-humbles.”̀ How to use this PDF file: To check to see whether an item was owned by Adam Smith, attempt various searches on this entire PDF: a first search might be on the author’s name, but also attempt searches using words from the title or even just a part of word (to surmount problems posed by line-breaking hyphens and diacritical marks). If the item is not found in this PDF file—that is, neither in this supplemental appendix nor in the Mizuta 1967 checklist—the one further step one might take is to check Mizuta (2000).

  • Salve Deus Rex Iudæorum. Æmilia Lanyer
    Topic: Confrontations Workshop title: “Gender and Intellectual Boundaries in 16th Century English and Continental Literature” Short description: Our proposed workshop considers how Renaissance female authors contested the male dominance of authorial traditions that center on male authorship, friendship, and patronage through collaborative stances. Focusing on Tullia d’Aragona and Aemilia Lanyer as test cases for our exploration, we ask: how do women “collaborate” with male writers, and with their audience and patrons to carve a space in philosophical and theological prose and poetry? Organizers: Person of contact: Astrid Adele Giugni, Duke University, English department, email: [email protected]; home address: 1727 Tisdale Street, Durham, NC 27705; institutional address: 114 South Buchanan Boulevard, Bay 9, Room A289, Durham, NC 27708 phone number: 919-638-3283 Co-organizer: Hannah VanderHart, Duke University, English department, email: [email protected] Description Our workshop is interested in collaborations as confrontations and contestations. We focus on female writers’ strategies to contest philosophical, theological, and generic traditions that center on male authorship, friendship, and patronage. We ask: How do women’s awareness and conceptualization of their audience affect their understanding and presentation of collaboration? How do women “collaborate” with male writers by responding to philosophical and theological traditions? How does attending to female author’s national and religious background change our perception of their engagement with literary and philosophical traditions? As early modern literature scholars we are interested in exploring the role of women in the Italian and English Renaissance. We consider Tullia d’Aragona and Aemilia Lanyer as test cases for this exploration. Tullia d’Aragona’s Della infinità d’amore dialogo (1547) comments upon and challenges works that center and debate male love, Plato’s Symposium, and its influence on Ficino’s, Bembo’s, and Castiglione’s writings.

  • Renaissance Receptions of Ovid's Tristia Dissertation
    RENAISSANCE RECEPTIONS OF OVID’S TRISTIA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gabriel Fuchs, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Frank T. Coulson, Advisor Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Tom Hawkins Copyright by Gabriel Fuchs 2013 ABSTRACT This study examines two facets of the reception of Ovid’s Tristia in the 16th century: its commentary tradition and its adaptation by Latin poets. It lays the groundwork for a more comprehensive study of the Renaissance reception of the Tristia by providing a scholarly platform where there was none before (particularly with regard to the unedited, unpublished commentary tradition), and offers literary case studies of poetic postscripts to Ovid’s Tristia in order to explore the wider impact of Ovid’s exilic imaginary in 16th-century Europe. After a brief introduction, the second chapter introduces the three major commentaries on the Tristia printed in the Renaissance: those of Bartolomaeus Merula (published 1499, Venice), Veit Amerbach (1549, Basel), and Hecules Ciofanus (1581, Antwerp) and analyzes their various contexts, styles, and approaches to the text. The third chapter shows the commentators at work, presenting a more focused look at how these commentators apply their differing methods to the same selection of the Tristia, namely Book 2. These two chapters combine to demonstrate how commentary on the Tristia developed over the course of the 16th century: it begins from an encyclopedic approach, becomes focused on rhetoric, and is later aimed at textual criticism, presenting a trajectory that ii becomes increasingly focused and philological.

  • I. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE the Manuscript of Jan Strzembosz and His Book Collection Have Not Been Deprived of the Attention of Polish Scholaraship
    ORGANON 26-27:1997-1998 AUTEURS ET PROBLEMES Tomasz Strzembosz (Poland) JAN STRZEMBOSZ (1545-1606) HIS MANUSCRIPT AND COLLECTION OF BOOKS I. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE The manuscript of Jan Strzembosz and his book collection have not been deprived of the attention of Polish scholaraship. The manuscript has been studied by Witold Rubczynski (1922), who, as Aleksander Birken- majer observed, "knew very little about its author". In fact his knowledge was "less than very little". The book collection has received the scholarly regard of many others, writing at diverse times. But none of it has amounted to more than just brief notes, not providing much information about the library collection and its history, and next to none about its original owner. Today, in an age marked by a heightened interest in the Renaissance, Strzem­ bosz’ valuable bibliophile bequest is a worthy subject for academic attention, while the life and achievements of the enlightened and public-spirited col­ lector who endowed us with it merit a few moments of notice. A compilation of the facts published earlier and more recently with the material preserved in the archives and collected still before the Second World War, which has fortunately managed to survive that War, will help to give us a fuller picture of the figure of Jan Strzembosz. In 1538 at Opoczno (now Central Poland), on a date recorded as "f. 5 post Conductum Paschae" the Strzembosz brothers, Mikołaj, the Reverend Andrzej, Derstaw, and Ambroży, sons of Jan Strzembosz of Jablonica and Wieniawa, and later of Dunajewice and Skrzyńsko, Justice of the Borough of Radom1, and Owka (Eufemia), daughter of Dersław Dunin of Smogorze- wo, Lord Crown Treasurer, and Małgorzata of Przysucha, concluded an act for the distribution of the patrimonial and maternal property left to them.

  • Moral Philosophy on the Threshold of Modernity
    The New Synthese Historical Library Volume 57 Moral Philosophy on the Threshold of Modernity edited by Jill Kraye and Risto Saarinen 302 LORENZO CASINI although Vives considered himself to be the first to deal with the investigation of the emotions in an adequate manner, a closer inspection reveals that he pays considerable attention to earlier thinkers and that his account relies heavily on information from a variety of sources. Although they are not introduced as opposing views, the positions of Aristotle and of the Stoics are mentioned as examples of the insufficient care with which the ancient studied the emotions. The Stoics are said to have corrupted the whole subject with their quibbling, and Aristotle is blamed for having dealt with the emotions in his Rhetoric only from an exclusively forensic point of view. Most of Vives’s definitions of the single emotions, however, are drawn from Aristotle’s Rhetoric and Cicero’s Tusculanae disputationes. The fact that Cicero is associated with the Stoics also suggests that the latter work is one of Vives’s principal sources for the Stoic theory of the passions. Moreover, his rejection of Aristotle’s contribution to the subject of the emotions clearly indicates that he based his assessment principally on the Rhetoric. The Peripatetic tradition nonetheless constitutes one of the most important sources of inspiration for Vives’s conception of the emotions. Plutarch’s De virtute morali, which is one of the best formulations of the Peripatetic ideal of a moderate degree of passion, together with his distinction between êthos and pathos, which Vives might also have encountered in Quintilian’s Institutio oratoria, influenced him, not least in his crucial distinction between passions and emotions.
