The Holinshed Editors: Religious Attitudes and Their Consequences
The Holinshed editors: religious attitudes and their consequences By Felicity Heal Jesus College, Oxford This is an introductory lecture prepared for the Cambridge Chronicles conference, July 2008. It should not be quoted or cited without full acknowledgement. Francis Thynne, defending himself when writing lives of the archbishops of Canterbury, one of sections of the 1587 edition of Holinshed that was censored, commented : It is beside my purpose, to treat of the substance of religion, sith I am onelie politicall and not ecclesiasticall a naked writer of histories, and not a learned divine to treat of mysteries of religion.1 And, given the sensitivity of any expression of religious view in mid-Elizabethan England, he and his fellow-contributors were wise to fall back, on occasions, upon the established convention that ecclesiastical and secular histories were in two separate spheres. It is true that the Chronicles can appear overwhelmingly secular, dominated as they are by scenes of war and political conflict. But of course Thynne did protest too much. No serious chronicler could avoid giving the history of the three kingdoms an ecclesiastical dimension: the mere choice of material proclaimed religious identity and, among their other sources, the editors drew extensively upon a text that did irrefutably address the ‘mysteries of religion’ – Foxe’s Book of Martyrs.2 Moreover, in a text as sententious as Holinshed the reader is constantly led in certain interpretative directions. Those directions are superficially obvious – the affirmation 1 Citations are to Holinshed’s Chronicles , ed. Henry Ellis, 6 vols.

Genre and Identity in British and Irish National Histories, 1541-1691
“NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 A dissertation presented by Sarah Elizabeth Connell to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April 2014 1 “NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 by Sarah Elizabeth Connell ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April 2014 2 ABSTRACT In this project, I build on the scholarship that has challenged the historiographic revolution model to question the valorization of the early modern humanist narrative history’s sophistication and historiographic advancement in direct relation to its concerted efforts to shed the purportedly pious, credulous, and naïve materials and methods of medieval history. As I demonstrate, the methodologies available to early modern historians, many of which were developed by medieval chroniclers, were extraordinary flexible, able to meet a large number of scholarly and political needs. I argue that many early modern historians worked with medieval texts and genres not because they had yet to learn more sophisticated models for representing the past, but rather because one of the most effective ways that these writers dealt with the political and religious exigencies of their times was by adapting the practices, genres, and materials of medieval history. I demonstrate that the early modern national history was capable of supporting multiple genres and reading modes; in fact, many of these histories reflect their authors’ conviction that authentic past narratives required genres with varying levels of facticity. -

APOLOGÉTICA DE LA ALQUIMIA EN LA CORTE DE FELIPE II. RICHARD STANIHURST Y SU “EL TOQUE DE ALQUIMIA” (1593) Juan Pablo Bubel

RICHARD STANIHURST Y SU “EL TOQUE DE ALQUIMIA” (1593) Juan Pablo Bubello Universidad de Buenos Aires/Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina Recibido: 29/04/2016 Aceptado: 28/06/2016 RESUMEN Richard Stanihurst fue uno de los alquimistas más importantes en la corte de Felipe II. La segunda mitad del siglo XVI asiste a un escenario cultural de persecuciones, prohibiciones e impugnaciones contra la alquimia, heredero del que se venía desarrollando en Occidente desde, al menos, tres siglos, dentro y fuera de España. En ese marco, con su El toque de alquimia (1593) el Dublinense va a citar a Paracelso, Mattioli, Ripley y Llull como fuentes de autoridad, buscando no sólo distinguir a los verdaderos de los falsos philosophos, sino construir un verdadero discurso apologético sobre el arte. PALABRAS CLAVE: alquimia; apologética; Stanihurst; Felipe II. APOLOGETICS OF ALCHEMY IN THE COURT OF PHILIP II. RICHARD STANIHURST AND HIS “EL TOQUE DE ALQUIMIA” (1593) ABSTRACT Richard Stanihurst was one of the most important alchemists in the court of Philip II. The second half of the sixteenth century attends a cultural scene, with persecutions, prohibitions and objections to alchemy, heir that had been developed in the West since, at least, three centuries, inside and outside Spain. In this context, with his El toque de alquimia (1593) the Dubliner will quote Paracelsus, Mattioli, Ripley and Llull as sources of authority, seeking not only to distinguish the true from the false philosophos, but to build a true apologetic discourse on the art. -
Edmund Campion, Santo
BIBLIOTECA UNIVERSITARIA DI GENOVA – PERCORSI TEMATICI UNIVERSALITAS & PERVASIVITAS il costituirsi e diffondersi della S.J. e suoi echi (1540 - 1773) di A. Pisani Schede autori Attività missionaria Edmund Campion, santo Early years and education (1540–1569) Born in London on January 24, 1540, Campion received his early education at Christ's Hospital, and, as the best of the London scholars, was chosen in their name to make the complimentary speech when Queen Mary visited the city. He then attended St John's College, Oxford, becoming a fellow in 1557 and taking the Oath of Supremacy on the occasion of his degree in 1564. When Sir Thomas White, the founder of the college, was buried in 1567, the Latin oration fell to the lot of Campion. Two years later he welcomed Queen Elizabeth to the university, and won her lasting regard. He was selected to lead a public debate in front of the queen. By the time the Queen had left Oxford, Campion had earned the patronage of the powerful William Cecil and also the Earl of Leicester, tipped by some to be future husband of the young Queen. People were now talking of Campion in terms of being a future Archbishop of Canterbury, in the newly established Anglican Church. Rejecting Anglicanism Religious difficulties now arose; but at the persuasion of Richard Cheyney, Bishop of Gloucester, although holding Catholic doctrines, he received deacon's orders in the Anglican Church. Inwardly "he took a remorse of conscience and detestation of mind." Rumours of his opinions began to spread and he left Oxford in 1569 and went to Ireland to take part in a proposed establishment of the University of Dublin. -

The Alchemical Patronage of Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley

Hans Eworth, ‗William Cecil, Lord Burghley‘, c.1565 Source: Pauline Croft (ed.), Patronage, Culture and Power, New Haven, 2002, p. xxvii. iii Abstract This thesis examines the alchemical patronage of Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley (1520– 1598), Principal Secretary and later Lord Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I. Through an examination of Cecil‘s surviving papers, along with other primary manuscript and printed works, it places Cecil‘s patronage of alchemy within the context of both his previous examined patronage and the intellectual context of sixteenth century England. This thesis analyses why Cecil, a key member of government for over fifty years and Elizabeth‘s most trusted councillor, believed in the legitimacy of alchemical solutions to both national and personal problems. To explain Cecil‘s trust in alchemy, the thesis focuses first on his understanding of nature. It argues that a belief in alchemical transmutation was an essential consequence of an education that emphasised an Aristotelian understanding of the universe. Cecil was therefore receptive of demonstrations of theoretical as well as practical alchemical knowledge. Through an assessment of Cecil‘s neglected medical patronage, the thesis also argues that he was amongst the first in England to utilise new alchemically based medical treatments. -

Spanish Paracelsus Revisited and Decontaminated
SPANISH PARACELSUS REVISITED AND DECONTAMINATED Spanish Paracelsus Revisited and Decontaminated * por Miguel López Pérez I. The State of the Question The first publication that treated Paracelsus (1493-1541) and Paracelsianism in Spain appeared about forty years ago. 1 The interpretation at that time held that the Inquisition prevented the development of Spanish science. However, despite the Inquisition’s ban on Paracelsus’ books, Paracelsians and Paracelsianism existed in Spain. While this seems like a clear contradiction—Paracelsus was censured, but Paracelsianism existed—this interpretation dominated later publications, 2 due, at least partially, to certain structural features of Spanish history of science. 3 About a decade ago, however, the historiography began to change. Arguments now prevalent within Spanish history of science concerning Paracelsus no longer reflect * Text re-translated and revised by Karen Parshall (University of Virginia).
