APPENDIX: MARY’S LETTERS his appendix contains an edition of Mary’s extant manuscript letters. Wherever I could, I have attempted to give the reader as close a sense Tof the material letter as possible by indicating page breaks, layout, handwriting, and so forth (except for the line breaks in the letter’s body). I have regularized Mary’s use of i/j and u/v and silently expanded abbreviations, but otherwise have maintained her original punctuation and capitalization. Mary’s hand is distinctive, neither secretary nor italic, though it is very similar to her brother’s. In Man and Monarch, David Starkey suggests that both Tudors learned their script from their mother, Elizabeth of York (8, 83). Unlike her brother, Mary seems not to have minded writing letters— many of these are entirely in her own hand, which I have indicated with the designation “holo- graph.” Those letters written in another hand but which bear her signature have been labeled “autograph.” Unless otherwise indicated, the addresses written on the verso of the autograph letters are in the scribal hand. The letters contained in the British Library’s Cotton collection suffered greatly from a fire in 1731; my conjectures for missing words are supplied in brackets. Occasional footnotes are marked with numbers in brackets. A key to textual symbols follows: [x] editorial additions * indicates lost words * . * indicates several lost words x deleted in original ^x^ added in original All transcriptions are mine, their presence included by generous permission of the libraries listed in each headnote. I have also provided translations of the French letters, striving to render Mary’s language as literally as I could. My trans- lations conform to contemporary rules for punctuation and capitalization. 1. MARY TO MARGARET OF AUSTRIA, DUCHESS OF SAVOY APRIL 13 (1510–1513) Morgan Pierpont Library. Rulers of England Box 02, Henry VIII, no. 33a. Autograph. Italic and secretary hands. Paper. 210 u 184 mm. The wax seal remains on the righthand side of the verso page, showing a diamond shape with faint traces of a design within; there is a vaguely floral shape with swirls in the center, and a K (for Karolus?) to the right. If it is an initial “K” presum- ably there was once an “M” for Mary on the left. Mary’s signature comes 25 mm below the body. For dating, see Chapter 1, note 175. 164 Appendix: Mary’s Letters [Italic hand] a Grenewich le 13 avril [Secretary hand; large initial “M”] Madame mabonne Tante leplus humblement que faire le puis a vostre bonne grace me recommende.

  • And the Henrician Reformation

    And the Henrician Reformation

    Robert Radcliffe’s Translation of Joannes Ravisius Textor’s Dialogi (1530) and the Henrician Reformation ágnes juhász-ormsby Memorial University Joannes Ravisius Textor’s Dialogi aliquot festivissimi (1530) exerted considerable influence in England in the 1530s. The English Textor movement was spurred primarily by the dialogues’ effectiveness in advancing and popularizing specific religious changes promoted by the government as part of the unfolding Henrician Reformation. Around 1540, the master of Jesus College School in Cambridge, Robert Radcliffe, dedicated a collection of prose translations of Textor’s three dialogues—A Governor, or of the Church (Ecclesia), The Poor Man and Fortune (Pauper et fortuna), and Death and the Goer by the Way (Mors et viator)—to Henry VIII. Radcliffe’s translations, especially the politically charged A Governor, demonstrate that not only his strategically selected source texts but also his method of translation helped him position himself in influential court circles and shape his image as a humanist scholar, schoolmaster, and translator.1 Les Dialogi aliquot festivissimi (1530) de Joannes Ravisius Textor ont exercé une influence importante en Angleterre pendant les années 1530. Le succès du mouvement anglais de Textor est principalement dû à l’efficacité avec laquelle les dialogues mettent de l’avant et popularisent des transformations religieuses spécifiques que promouvait le gouvernement dans le contexte du déploiement de la Réforme d’Henri VIII. Autour de 1540, le maître du Jesus College de Cambridge, Robert Radcliffe, a dédié une collection de traduction en prose des trois dialogues de Textor — A Governor, or of the Church (Ecclesia), The Poor Man and Fortune (Pauper et fortuna), et Death and the Goer by the Way (Mors et viator) — à Henri VIII.

    An Offer of Help Resistivity and Auger Survey on Silk Hill

    November 2020 Dear Member It is that time again, the time to write, edit and distribute the month’s Newsletter soon comes around. I hope that this edition finds you well. The present Covid-19 situation continues but there are some signs of hope. Progress is being made with at least two vaccines and the results sound very promising. But I don’t want us to be dominated by this invisible pest. So, for the next hour (or 5 minutes depending upon your attention span) enjoy reading all about, among other things the previous owner of Lindley House which may result in a bit of a discussion. I have received an article from our friend Walter Baynes, and it can be seen that Walter is well skilled in producing excellent articles when he is not busy elsewhere. I did manage to get out and about between lockdowns (although it did rather feel as I was putting my head above the parapet) and have also been researching the Heraldic Shields I started off last month. I know just how disappointed you will be without a quiz, so I have included some for you. Don’t forget to send me any ideas, suggestions, articles, jokes, photographs, indeed anything you like. I will include them in the bulletins or the monthly Newsletter as and when they arrive. I have been royally entertained by a number of you with your jokes and videos. Thank you very much to all who have submitted items. Come along, don’t be shy! Better get on with it! I am working on a big quiz for December so any contributions would be very welcome.

This dissertation argues that dedications, and the negotiations that accompanied them, reveal both contemporary perceptions of how statecraft, religion, and gender were and the political maneuvering attempting to influence how they ought to be. In particular, this dissertation provides a case study of these textual negotiations as they related to Queen Mary I. The fact that Mary received eighteen manuscript dedications and thirty-three printed book dedications shows that even by the middle of the sixteenth century manuscripts and print competed for value and prestige among patrons.

Burke, Svante Norrhem, and Merry Wiesner-Hanks This series provides a forum for studies that investigate women, gender, and/ or sexuality in the late medieval and early modern world. The editors invite proposals for book-length studies of an interdisciplinary nature, including, but not exclusively, from the fields of history, literature, art and architectural history, and visual and material culture. Consideration will be given to both monographs and collections of essays. Chronologically, we welcome studies that look at the period between 1400 and 1700, with a focus on any part of the world, as well as comparative and global works. We invite proposals including, but not limited to, the following broad themes: methodologies, theories and meanings of gender; gender, power and political culture; monarchs, courts and power; constructions of femininity and masculinity; gift-giving, diplomacy and the politics of exchange; gender and the politics of early modern archives; gender and architectural spaces (courts, salons, household); consumption and material culture; objects and gendered power; women’s writing; gendered patronage and power; gendered activities, behaviours, rituals and fashions.

[email protected] https://eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/ 1 The Invention of ‘Happiness’ Phil Withington, University of Sheffield An Early Modern Puzzle This chapter starts with a puzzle. The word ‘happiness’ is absent from the first English version of Thomas More’s Utopia, which was translated into English from the Latin in 1551 and again in 1556 by Ralph Robinson.1 ‘Happiness’ remains absent from the next four editions of Robinson’s translation, which was republished regularly to 1639.2 But when Gilbert Burnet translated Utopia anew from the Latin, in 1684, he used ‘happiness’ no less than nineteen times.3 What follows looks to explain and contextualize this striking semantic development.
