Private Papers of John Barron 1 St Peter’s College – Archives SP:P25 – The Papers of Professor John Barron Name(s) of creator(s): Barron, John Penrose (1934-2008), academic and educational administrator Dates of creation of material: 1687 - 2007 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 27 boxes Biographical history: John Penrose Barron (JPB) was born in Morley, west Yorkshire, on 27 April 1934. Educated at Clifton College, Bristol, he went up to Oxford in 1953 as an exhibitioner at Balliol College, where he read Classics. He graduated in 1957 with first-class honours, going on to complete his doctorate in 1961 on the history of Samos to 439 BC. Barron’s academic career began when he joined Bedford College, London, as an Assistant Lecturer in Latin. In 1964, he moved to University College London as a Lecturer in Archaeology, becoming Reader in 1967. For twenty years from 1971, he was Professor of Greek at King’s College London, having been elected to the Chair at the age of only 37. He was also Director of the Institute of Classical Studies of London University (1984-1991), Pro-Vice- Chancellor for the Arts (1987-1989) and Dean of the Institutes for Advance Study (1989-1991). He also served as the University of London’s Public Orator (1978-1981, 1986-1988). His publications include Introduction to Greek Sculpture (1965, revised 1981) and The Silver Coins of Samos (1966). In 1991, he was elected Master of St Peter’s College, Oxford, a post he would hold until 2003. His Mastership was characterised by a rise in both the number of female students at the college and its academic performance. Barron also oversaw the development of three off-site halls of residence, as well as an unsuccessful attempt to acquire the nearby site of Oxford Prison, which had closed in 1996. After his retirement in 2003, he chaired a number of educational institutions, such as the Cassel Trust and the committee of Lambeth Palace Library. In 1962, he married Caroline Barron (née Hogarth), who would herself go on to become a leading historian of medieval London and professor of medieval history at Royal Holloway College, and with whom he had two daughters (Catherine and Helen). Prof John Penrose Barron died on 16 August 2008. Scope and content: Papers relating to John Barron’s academic research and administrative duties.

  • Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549
    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

    Webster 1132 24/10/03 10:02 am Page 444 TOM WEBSTER Stanford University Webster 1132 24/10/03 10:02 am Page 445 Thomas Bertram Lonsdale Webster 1905–1974 TOM WEBSTER was born on 3 July 1905. He grew up in London, and lived there for twenty years in middle and later life, when he was Pro- fessor of Greek in the University at University College, the scene of much of his most fruitful work. For seventeen years before that, he was Hulme Professor of Greek at Manchester, taking up his appointment at the age of twenty-six, as the University recalled with pride and affec- tion when it made him, in 1965, an honorary Doctor of Letters. He began his academic career with eight years (mainly) at Oxford, as an undergraduate and then a young don at Christ Church, with a fruitful interlude at Leipzig; he ended it with six years at Stanford, as Profes- sor of Classics and then Emeritus. At and after the end of the First World War he was a schoolboy at Charterhouse; during the Second World War he served as an officer in Military Intelligence. He died on 31 May 1974 after a terminal illness of some six weeks, active until then as ever. A photograph taken at Stanford accompanies this memoir.1 It shows the Emeritus Professor in his element, in a classroom. He looks much as many people knew him from early middle age onwards ‘incredibly close to the man as he was in 1939’, as one former pupil writes. If the image suggests a tall, spare figure with (in later years) a scholar’s forward stoop, so much to the good.

  • Balliol College Lending Registers Liba6 and Liba7
    Balliol College Lending Registers LibA6 and LibA7 Biographical Index of Borrowers Baron, John. As John Jones notes in Balliol College: A History, John Baron rose almost from the bottom of Oxford University to the top; he was admitted as a Servitor at Balliol in 1686, elected a Fellow in 1691, and became Master of the College in 1704. He also served as Vice Chancellor of the University between 1715 and 1718. Bernard, [Unknown]. No obvious Balliol match for a “Dr Bernard” has been identified. Blake, William. The only possible match Joseph Foster provides in his Alumni Oxonienses for a “Mr Blake” at Balliol in the 1670s is one William Blake, who matriculated in June 1676, aged 17. He was awarded a B.A. in 1680. Blinman, John. Foster notes that John Blinman matriculated in July 1678 aged 18. Bradford, John. John Bradford matriculated as a gentleman undergraduate in October 1697. He gained a B.A. in 1701 and an M.A. from 1704. He was a Fellow of the College from 1700 and was later rector of Black Torrington 1712-37. Brydges, William. William Brydges was admitted as a Fellow-Commoner to Balliol in 1701, and went on to study for the bar-at-law at Gray’s Inn. He was also a clerk at the Chancery from 1709-13. Letters exchanged between his tutor, John Baron, and his father, Francis Brydges (Balliol 1677), show that he became a studious scholar in his short time at Balliol, after what Jones describes as a “turbulent adolescence.” That a Fellow as senior as Baron was allocated to tutor Brydges might explain why he was permitted access to the library.

LEIB &ANDREW KENT* ABSTRACT A law of public office crystallized in Anglo-American law in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This body of law—defined and enforced through a mix of oaths, statutes, criminal and civil case law, impeachments, and legislative investigations—imposed core duties on holders of public executive offices: officials needed to serve the public good, not their own private interests; were barred from acting ultra vires; could often be required to account to the public for their conduct in office; and needed to act with impartiality, honesty, and diligence. Officeholding came to be viewed as conditional, with officers removable for misdeeds. These substantive duties within the law of public office—even if not its enforcement structure—reflected something that looks similar to modern fiduciary duties of loyalty and care.

  • The Cologne Fragment of Alcaeus Lloyd-Jones, Hugh Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Summer 1968; 9, 2; Proquest Pg
    The Cologne Fragment of Alcaeus Lloyd-Jones, Hugh Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Summer 1968; 9, 2; ProQuest pg. 125 The Cologne Fragment of Alcaeus Hugh Lloyd-Jones EINHOLD MERKELBACH has lately published a new fragment R of Alcaeus which is of great interest.1 Following the civilised practice of Girolamo Vitelli and his Florentine successors, Merkelbach has shown the piece to many scholars before its publi­ cation, and the first edition contains suggestions by many experts, including the two leading authorities on Lesbian poetry, Edgar Lobel and Denys Page. The first publication is admirably done and is accompanied by a good photograph of the manuscript, which prob­ ably dates from the first century of our era; Merkelbach compares the writing of POxy. 2295. I have little to contribute in the way of new readings, and owe much of the material here presented to Merkel­ bach's publication and to the commentary on a fragment of the same poem given by Page in Sappho and Alcaeus;2 readers will find it useful to have Merkelbach's publication in hand while studying this article. Still, I hope a rather fuller commentary on this important piece may be found useful.

  • Friends of the Hellenic Institute: Newsletter 2008
    Friends of the Hellenic Institute: Newsletter 2008 Letter from the Acting Director 31tst January 2009 Dear Friend, Last year was marked by the death of our Director Julian Chrysostomides (†18.X.2008), and our Friend and member of the Steering Group Professor John Barron (†16.VIII.2008), while more recently the Friend of the Institute Professor Zaga Gavrilović (†19.I.2009) also passed away. They all belonged to the generation of dedicated scholars and teachers who left an indelible mark on Hellenic and Byzantine Studies internationally. They shall be remembered with deep affection, respect and admiration for their scholarship, integrity and humanity. The Institute extends its deepest sympathy to their families and close friends. In her last Letter to you on 31st January 2008, Julian Chrysostomides celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of the establishment of the Hellenic Institute at Royal Holloway College, and reflected on the past achievements and the future of the Institute. Through her dedication and determination she was able to meet most of the aims and objectives she identified when she assumed the directorship of the Institute in December 1998. Under her inspiring leadership and perseverance, despite some difficult periods, the Institute succeeded in establishing itself as a research centre for the diachronic and interdisciplinary study of Hellenism, expanding its teaching and research activities. The securing of external funding, especially for the re-establishment of the Lectureship in Byzantine History and the establishment of the Lectureship in Byzantine Literature and Greek Palaeography as well as of a number of studentships, bursaries and other awards, was essential for the development of the Institute.

  • Technique in the Service of Humanism: A.B. Poynton's Legacy to E.R. Dodds1
    «EIKASMOS» XV (2004) Technique in the service of Humanism: A.B. Poynton’s legacy to E.R. Dodds1 Humanism and technique represent a polarity that can usefully define impor- tant aspects of the evolution of classical studies and classical education in Britain between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries2. It was memorably enun- ciated at Oxford in 1936 in the inaugural lecture of the Regius Professor of Greek3, Eric Robertson Dodds (1893-1979)4, who is himself considered an outstanding example of a humanistic approach to classical scholarship. Yet during his career he produced exemplary editions of three Greek texts: Euripides’ Bacchae (1944); Plato’s Gorgias (1959); and Proclus’ Elements of Theology (1933)5. In the case of the latter two he investigated in detail the manuscript tradition, an activity in the realm of technique that could be considered almost the complete antithesis to humanism6. Now, as is well known, Dodds’s particular version of humanism involved an outreach into psychology, anthropology and psychical research, interests largely developed autodidactically, though they were inspired by his most celebrated teacher, Gilbert Murray (1866-1957). But less is known of the early influences that helped him become an outstanding technical scholar. In this paper I aim to identify them through an account of his relations with his tutor during the first phase of his classical 1 Two manuscript collections in the Bodleian Library, Oxford are identified as DP (= E.R.
