The Elements of Abbreviation in Medieval Latin Paleography
The elements of abbreviation in medieval Latin paleography BY ADRIANO CAPPELLI Translated by David Heimann and Richard Kay UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LIBRARIES, 1982 University of Kansas Publications Library Series, 47 The elements of abbreviation in medieval Latin paleography BY ADRIANO CAPPELLI Translated by David Heimann and Richard Kay UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LIBRARIES, 1982 Printed in Lawrence, Kansas, U.S.A. by the University of Kansas Printing Service PREFACE Take a foreign language, write it in an unfamiliar script, abbreviating every third word, and you have the compound puzzle that is the medieval Latin manuscript. For over two generations, paleographers have taken as their vade mecum in the decipherment of this abbreviated Latin the Lexicon abbreviaturarum compiled by Adriano Cappelli for the series "Manuali Hoepli" in 1899. The perennial value of this work undoubtedly lies in the alphabetic list of some 14,000 abbreviated forms that comprises the bulk of the work, but all too often the beginner slavishly looks up in this dictionary every abbreviation he encounters, when in nine cases out of ten he could ascertain the meaning by applying a few simple rules. That he does not do so is simply a matter of practical convenience, for the entries in the Lexicon are intelligible to all who read Latin, while the general principles of Latin abbreviation are less easily accessible for rapid consultation, at least for the American student. No doubt somewhere in his notes there is an out line of these rules derived from lectures or reading, but even if the notes are at hand they are apt to be sketchy; for reference he would rather rely on the lengthier accounts available in manuals of paleography, but more often than not he has only Cappelli's dictionary at his elbow. -

The Changing Rare Book Trade, 1950–2000 11
The Changing Rare Book Trade, 1950–2000 11 Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine Stern THE CHANGING RARE BOOK TRADE, 1950–2000 THE CHANGES THAT HAVE TRANSFORMED the American rare book trade over the past fifty years have been welcomed by some but have daunted oth- ers. Due largely to the introduction and almost universal acceptance of computerization, along with major economic shifts, so-called reforms in education, and advances in the technology of travel, the results are ap- parent in the altered relations among the triumvirate of rare book dealer, collector, and librarian, as well as in their attitude toward their quarry. The traditional sources of supply and the markets for distribution have suffered a sea change. Yet, despite all this, the trade of rare books has survived. Some of its dramatic history over the past half-century can be seen in the story of one antiquarian book firm. In mid-September 1944, Leona Rostenberg entered the business of buying and selling antiquarian books. Her decision to do so had been preceded by several years of graduate study, a period of research abroad, and a five-year apprenticeship with a learned dealer from Austria who, because of World War Two, was now ensconced among his books in New York’s East sixties. This background intensified Leona’s passion for early printed continental books. In fact, it was the perfect background for any future dealer in the field of early European books. But how many dealers can boast of having similarly appropriate backgrounds today? The announcement of Leona’s entry into rare book dealing was accom- panied by a little fanfare. -
A Medieval Psalter ‘Perfected’: Eighteenth-Century Conservationism and an Early (Female) Restorer of Rare Books and Manuscripts
A Medieval Psalter ‘Perfected’: Eighteenth-Century Conservationism and an Early (Female) Restorer of Rare Books and Manuscripts Sonja Drimmer The eighteenth century has an uneven track record in the study of medieval manuscripts. During the later part of the century medieval art found a newly appreciative audience, but it was often the case that where esteem was granted it was for the evidentiary value of illumination. As witnesses to the dress, habits and pastimes of the Middle Ages, manuscripts attracted the emerging breed of antiquaries who reproduced outstanding pictorial examples in engravings. Disseminated in this format, medieval illumination appeared to most audiences in visual translations that deferred to the tastes and prevailing ideologies of the era. At the same time, other antiquaries, like grand tourists of the medieval world, poached miniatures from their native habitats and arranged them in albums and picture frames to augment their private collections.1 Both the victim and the beneficiary of these attitudes is a manuscript in the British Library that has gone unnoticed. 2 A Psalter that was originally produced in London during the second quarter of the fifteenth century, Add. MS. 6894 (henceforth, ‘The Denyer Psalter’) is remarkable not for the damage that was done to it, but for the care taken to rectify this damage and to restore to the manuscript something resembling its former integrity. Interleaved among its six-hundred-year-old folios are parchment replacements from a different historical era, installed by a woman who has been forgotten by history and, in one instance, supplanted in it. However, as a very early conservator of rare books and manuscripts, Eliza Dennis Denyer was a woman well ahead of her time. -
Introduction Robert L
Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19495-2 - The Cambridge History of the English Novel Edited by Robert L. Caserio and Clement Hawes Excerpt More information Introduction robert l. caserio and clement hawes I Some important English novels have been popular; some have not; but our volume is not a history of bestsellers. Granted, the novel is not an entirely autonomous literary form, developing in isolation from the influence of market forces. Nor does it develop in isolation from politics, national or international. Far from it: no one could seriously make such an argument. And yet if the novel sees at all – if it offers unique insights – it does so through the ceaseless making, breaking, and remaking of literary forms. Every decision that a novelist makes is formally mediated, and retracing those decisions provides access to the history of the novel. By attending to this history of formal innovations one begins to understand the range and depth of which the English novel has been capable. We hope, even though the Cambridge History concludes by affirming the enduring power of romance, that our way of turning the novel’s progress into history is less quixotic than the quest of the Knight of the Woeful Countenance. The challenging side of the genre never fades from view: it does, after all, create something new under the sun. To be sure, the aesthetic and the political avant- garde do not necessarily coincide. And, in any case, as Mikhail Bakhtin points out, any one asserted perspective in the novel is usually rendered relative to others with which it is in conflict.
