The terminus post quem and lynchpin of their evidence was the following passage from the beginning of Book II chapter 9 in John of Fordun’s Chronica Gentis Scotorum, which they dated variously from the 1360s to the 1390s:1 The character of the Scots however varies according to the difference in language. For they have two languages, namely the Scottish language (lingua Scotica) and the Teutonic language (lingua Theutonica).

  • 1 “To [My History], Which in Its Scottish Dress Could Interest Scotsmen
    1 “To [my history], which in its Scottish dress could interest Scotsmen only, I have, with some trouble, given the power to speak to all through the medium of Latin.”1 John Lesley’s characterisation of his own De Origine et Moribus Scotorum (1578) identifies two important and obvious features of Scottish Latinitas: the breadth of audience, and the Scottish participation in European culture. Even in Lesley’s account, however, there may be discerned an element of defensiveness, in the need to court an audience for Scottish affairs using an international language. While such a position is not really tenable, given the interest in and importance of Lesley’s queen to European affairs, nevertheless it could be argued that a similar defensiveness has coloured the scholarship of Scottish Latinitas for several, far more recent, decades.2 This collection challenges that perspective, by exploring without apology aspects of Scottish Latinitas from the eighth century to the seventeenth, and opening that great area of Scottish culture to further scholarly scrutiny, to support its rediscovery in anthologies and histories, and crucially to embed it in our understanding of Scottish culture from the eighth to the eighteenth centuries, rather than isolating it as a curious and additional cousin to the vernacular cultures.3 That a battle standard for new approaches to Scottish Latinitas should be raised by a volume of essays with its foundations in the 13th International Conference on Medieval and Renaissance Scottish Language and Literature, held in Padua

  • The Church in Sixteenth-Century Glasgow
    Servants to St. Mungo: The Church in Sixteenth-Century Glasgow by Daniel MacLeod A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Daniel MacLeod, May, 2013 ABSTRACT SERVANTS TO ST MUNGO: THE CHURCH IN SIXTEENTH-CENTURY GLASGOW Daniel MacLeod Advisors: University of Guelph, 2013 Dr. Elizabeth Ewan Dr. Peter Goddard This thesis investigates religious life in Glasgow, Scotland in the sixteenth century. As the first full length study of the town’s Christian community in this period, this thesis makes use of the extant Church documents to examine how Glaswegians experienced Christianity during the century in which religious change was experienced by many communities in Western Europe. This project includes research from both before and after 1560, the year of the Reformation Parliament in Scotland, and therefore eschews traditional divisions used in studies of this kind that tend to view 1560 as a major rupture for Scotland’s religious community. Instead, this study reveals the complex relationships between continuity and change in Glasgow, showing a vibrant Christian community in the early part of the century and a changed but similarly vibrant community at the century’s end. This project attempts to understand Glasgow’s religious community holistically. It investigates the institutional structures of the Church through its priests and bishops as well as the popular devotions of its parishioners. It includes examinations of the sacraments, Church discipline, excommunication and religious ritual, among other Christian phenomena. The dissertation follows many of these elements from their medieval Catholic roots through to their Reformed Protestant derivations in the latter part of the century, showing considerable links between the traditions.

  • Printing Discovered and Intercepted Letters in England, 1571–1600
    Propaganda, Patriotism, and News: Printing Discovered and Intercepted Letters In England, 1571–1600 GARY SCHNEIDER University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley Abstract: In this article I propose that the relatively few intercepted and discovered letters printed during the reign of Elizabeth I fall chiefly into three categories: they were published as propaganda, as patriotic statement, and as news reportage. Although Elizabeth and her ministers published intercepted and discovered letters on a strictly ad hoc and contingent basis, the pamphlets and books in which these letters appear, along with associated ideo- logical and polemical material, reveals determined uses of intercepted and discovered let- ters in print. Catholics likewise printed intercepted letters as propaganda to confront Eliz- abeth’s anti-Catholic policies through their own propaganda apparatus on the continent. Intercepted letters were also printed less frequently to encourage religious and state patri- otism, while other intercepted letters were printed solely as new reportage with no overt ideological intent. Because intercepted and discovered letters, as bearers of secret infor- mation, were understood to reveal sincere intention and genuine motivation, all of the pub- lications assessed here demonstrate that such letters not only could be used as effective tools to shape cultural perceptions, but could also be cast as persuasive written testimony, as legal proof and as documentary authentication. he years of the English civil wars are the ones usually associated with

  • Owners of Guild's Books
    FORMER OWNERS OF GUILD’S BOOKS Positive identification of former owners of books is a hazardous affair, with the attractive option not always being the correct one. This list of former owners of William Guild‟s books should be treated with some caution, therefore, since while some owners can be positively identified, there are others about which it is impossible to be certain. Standard sources have been used and acknowledged; full details can be found in the bibliography, also to be found on this website [insert web address here]. The numbers following the references relate to the catalogue of Guild‟s books [insert web address here]. Aberdeen, King‟s College. The core of the first library of King‟s College, Aberdeen, was a gift from the personal library of the college‟s founder, Bishop William Elphinstone; it was managed by Hector Boece (c.1465-1536), the first principal and de facto librarian. The foundation charter for the college was granted in 1505. Boece‟s position as librarian is evident from his signatures and comments on many of its early volumes. Unsurprisingly, books found their way into the personal collections of masters of the University such as Guild, who did not scruple to pass them elsewhere. (Kennedy, II, pp. 366-68) (64) Aberdeen, Dominicans. Said to have been founded c. 1230-50 by Alexander II. A prior and thirteen friars were in residence in 1503, but the house was destroyed by the Reformers in 1560. Its possessions were granted to George Earl of Marischal in 1587, who bestowed them on Marischal College as part of its endowment.
