  • Caxton in the British Library
    CAXTON IN THE BRITISH LIBRARY HOWARD M.NIXON IN 1877 the four hundredth anniversary ofthe establishment ofthe first printing press in England was celebrated with, among other things, a staggering exhibition in the National Art Library, South Kensington (now the Library ofthe Victoria and Albert Museum). Inspired by William Blades, a practical printer, whose biography of Caxton was a land- mark in English bibliographical studies/ it was organized by an unwieldy series of com- mittees, but Blades's section on Caxton's printing was of the highest importance. The exhibition aimed at comprehending every activity of the printing industry and the massive catalogue^ records 4734 items. In addition to Caxton and early printing in England and Scotland, there were sections dealing with the development of printing in foreign countries, 'specimens notable for rarity or for beauty and excellence of typo- graphy', examples of modern commercial printing and music, illustration, portraits of distinguished authors as well as members of the book-trade, books relating to printing, 'curiosities and miscellanies', type, type-founding and type specimen books, stereotyping and electrotyping, copperplate printing, lithography and photography, paper and paper- making. The inaugural meeting ofthe Caxton Celebration committee only took place on 17 February 1877. It is not altogether surprising therefore that when the vast exhibition was opened by Mr. Gladstone on 30 June it was far from ready, and when it closed nine weeks later, after attracting nearly 25,000 visitors, it was felt that it should have been kept open at least until all the exhibits had been labelled. Since 1877, the discovery of various entries concerning Caxton among the muniments of Westminster Abbey by E.

  • The Hadlow Village Amble
    Introduction This leaflet offers a brief amble around Hadlow Square (the village centre) and its immediate environs using only paved paths and taking about an hour (or a little more if the northern extension is taken.) It is level and ungated, so suitable for those with mild mobility difficulties, and wearing ordinary casual clothing. For those with mobility difficulties wanting a more rural amble, see the separate leaflet for the Hadlow Access Trail (an access key is obtainable from the Parish Council Office). The tour, illustrated on the reverse of the leaflet, with numerals correlating A circular tour through Hadlow Village and to the navigational directions and historical narrative (which continue overleaf) assumes a start and finish at St Mary’s Church, but it is a circular immediate environs - with historical notes route enabling you to join and leave at any point. Links to other walks of interest (such as the longer ‘Hadlow Parish Ramble’, and ‘The Hadlow Hop Tour’ (which includes information about the hop-pickers tragedy of 1853) are The Hadlow also mentioned in the text. As alternatives to arriving in Hadlow by car, the village can be reached easily by bus from Maidstone, Kings Hill or Tonbridge using the 7,77 and 147 services along the main A26 road. Cycle stands (combined with Village planters) are also located in and around the Square, and provided by Hadlow Low Carbon Community. To reach the starting point (St Mary’s Church, Point 1 on the map), walk to the far end of Church Lane (off the south east corner of The Square between La Amble Portuguesa Restaurant and the Bakery).

  • Lothar Voetz, Der Codex Manesse. Die Berühmteste Liederhandschrift Des Mittelalters, Darmstadt (Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft) 2015, 176 S., 123 Farb
    Francia-Recensio 2017/1 Mittelalter ± Moyen Âge (500±1500) Lothar Voetz, Der Codex Manesse. Die berühmteste Liederhandschrift des Mittelalters, Darmstadt (Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft) 2015, 176 S., 123 farb. Abb., ISBN 978-3-650-40042-0, EUR 69,95. rezensiert von/compte rendu rédigé par Elmar Mittler, Berlin Der »Codex Manesse« erscheint in seiner klaren Abfolge von groûformatigen Bildern und gleichartig in zwei Kolumnen geschriebenen Texten in der Ordnung der mittelalterlichen Standesgesellschaft als klar und logisch gegliedert; erst eine genauere Betrachtung zeigt, wie verwirrend uneinheitlich und komplex das Werk ist. Bei dieser Publikation der Wissenschaftlichen Buchgesellschaft (in der Buchhandelsausgabe unter dem der WBG gehörenden Lambert Schneider firmierend) geht es einem umgekehrt. Die oft unmotivierte grafische Gestaltung mit einer Abfolge von unterschiedlich verkleinerten Bildern, die nicht immer logischen Gesetzen zu folgen scheint, verwirrt oft mehr als sie erläutert; erst beim genaueren Hinsehen merkt man, welch klar gegliedertes Konzept der Text dagegen bietet. Zur Überraschung mancher Leserin und manchen Lesers nennt das einleitende Kapitel den sicher weithin bekanntesten deutschsprachigen Codex des Mittelalters ein Buch mit sieben Siegeln. In »Vom Kaiser zum Bettelmann« folgt nicht eine inhaltliche Charakterisierung, sondern ein Traktat über Einrichtung und Anlage der Handschrift. Auch das »Zürcher Anfänge« betitelte dritte Kapitel ist stark auf die Entstehung der Handschrift ausgerichtet, die dann im vierten Abschnitt in den Kreis anderer Lyrikhandschriften des (deutschen) Mittelalters eingeordnet wird. Das Abschlusskapitel »Seltsame Wege« unterrichtet über Geschichte und Erschlieûung der Handschrift. Der Anhang gibt vor allem Hinweise auf die Literatur. Wer die Dichtung kennenzulernen sucht, wird sich über die zwischen die Kapitel eingestreuten Porträts freuen, die mit Kaiser Heinrich beginnen und mit Heinrich von Veldeke (Blatt 30v) fortgesetzt werden.

Over the past few years, scholars have been devoting increasingly more attention to Wolfram’s Willehalm, primarily because of Gyburg’s so-called Toleranzrede and its theological implications. The aim of the present paper is to analyse the narrative construction of the concept of tolerance by examining how the figure of Gyburg and its interaction with other narrative instances (i.e. the narrator and other characters) in Wolfram’s work are constructed on the diegetic level to articulate a complex discourse on religious alterity from different standpoints, both within and outside the Christian world.

  • 1 a Place Is Carefully Constructed: Reading the Nuremberg Cityscape
    A Place is Carefully Constructed: Reading the Nuremberg Cityscape in the Nuremberg Chronicle Kendra Grimmett A Sense of Place May 3, 2015 In 1493 a group of Nuremberg citizens published the Liber Chronicarum, a richly illustrated printed book that recounts the history of the world from Creation to what was then present day.1 The massive tome, which contains an impressive 1,809 woodcut prints from 645 different woodblocks, is also known as the Nuremberg Chronicle. This modern English title, which alludes to the book’s city of production, misleadingly suggests that the volume only records Nuremberg’s history. Even so, I imagine that the men responsible for the book would approve of this alternate title. After all, from folios 99 verso through 101 recto, the carefully constructed visual and textual descriptions of Nuremberg and its inhabitants already unabashedly favor the makers’ hometown. Truthfully, it was common in the final decades of the fifteenth century for citizens’ civic pride and local allegiance to take precedence over their regional or national identification.2 This sentiment is strongly stated in the city’s description, which directly follows the large Nuremberg print spanning folios 99 verso and 100 recto (fig. 1). The Chronicle specifies that although there was doubt whether Nuremberg was Franconian or Bavarian, “Nurembergers neither wished to be 1 Scholarship on the Nuremberg Chronicle is extensive. See, for instance: Stephanie Leitch, “Center the Self: Mapping the Nuremberg Chronicle and the Limits of the World,” in Mapping Ethnography in Early Modern Germany: New Worlds in Print Culture (Basingstoke; New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2010), 17-35; Jeffrey Chipps Smith, “Imaging and Imagining Nuremberg,” in Topographies of the Early Modern City, ed.

  • German Minnesang, Although in the English Language, to Allow It to Be Judged in This Kingdom A&S Competition
    I follow her banner Unlike a helpless sparrow that is the swift hawk’s prey Just like a hunter’s arrow once aimed will kill the jay So she will be my destiny to conquer her my finest deed She forced me almost to retreat with beauty, grace and chastity My life was vain and hollow and frequently I went astray No better banner I can follow than hers, wherever is the way. Is she at least aware of me? from places far away I heed I am a grain in fields of wheat a drop of water in the sea. I suffer from a dreadful sorrow how often did I quietly pray That there will be no more tomorrow so that my pain shall go away. My bended neck just feels her knee crouched in the dust beneath her feet Deliverance, which I so dearly need she never will award to me. 1 Nîht ein baner ich bezzer volgen mac Middle-High German version Niht swie diu spaz sô klein waz ist der snel valken bejac alsô swie der bogenzein ûf den edel valken zil mac sô si wirt sîn mîne schône minne ir eroberigen daz ist mîne bürde mîne torheit wart gevalle vor ir burc aber dur ir tugenden unde staetem sinne Was sô verdriezlich mîne welte verloufen vome wege manige tac mîne sunnenschîn unde schône helde nîht ein baner ich bezzer volgen mac ûzem vremde lant kumt der gruoze mîn wie sol si mich erkennen enmitten vome kornat blôz ein halm enmitten vome mer ein kleine tröpfelîn Ich bin volleclîche gar von sorgen swie oft mac ich wol mahtlôs sinnen daz ie niemer ist ein anders morgen alsô mîne endelôs riuwe gât von hinnen der nûwe vrôdenreich wol doln ir knie in drec die stolzecheit kumt ze ligen die gunst diu ich sô tuon beger mîner armen minne gift si nimmer nie 2 Summary Name: Falko von der Weser Group: An Dun Theine This entry is a poem I wrote in the style of the high medieval German Minnelieder (Minnesongs) like those found in the “Große Heidelberger Liederhandschrift”, also known as Codex Manesse (The Great Heidelberg Songbook) and the “Weingartner Liederhandschrift” (The Konstanz-Weingarten Songbook).

This has led on the one hand to functional approaches that treat the authors as a class subject to sociological analysis, and on the other to approaches that emphasize the fictionality of Minnesang as a form of role- playing in which genre conventions supersede individual contributions. I argue that the men who composed and performed these songs at court were, in fact, using them to create and curate individual profiles for themselves.
