Maps and Map Fragments in the Bagford Collection Fortunate Survivors: Maps and Map Fragments in the Bagford Collection Tom Harper Described quite correctly as ‘maps and fragments’,1 for the contents of a composite volume in the British Library known as Harl.5935 a more thorough evaluation is long overdue. These include printed maps from books dating from the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries, as well as cuttings from maps, engravings of scientific instruments, and at least three separately issued maps which are not known to exist elsewhere. The volume into which they have been attached is one of 129 scrapbooks of prints put together by the antiquary and book dealer John Bagford (1650-1716), an interesting character best known for accumulating parts of books rather than whole ones. Bagford was especially interested in title-pages and printing samples. These comprise the bulk of the collection, and it is upon them that attention has previously been focused. In the first comprehensive catalogue of the collection, for example, maps may eventually be found amongst proposals, colophons and adverts in a section entitled ‘some items of interest other than title-pages’.2 Clearly, as only five volumes of the collection are known to contain more than one map, it is understandable why they have been overlooked.3 A description of the volume in the ‘Rough List of the Contents of the Bagford Collection’ of 1902 gives special mention to Edward Wright’s 1599 two-sheet world map ‘of extraordinary rarity’, a sentiment also expressed by William Younger Fletcher in his biography of Bagford that same year.4 Equally scarce but previously unmentioned material includes a fragment of a map of the Holy Land, a single sheet of Jacob van Deventer’s wall map of Friesland and another from a version of Gaspar Vopel’s map of Europe, all from the sixteenth century, and these are placed amongst other maps which reflect in some way Bagford’s antiquarian interests. This is an intriguing but eccentric group of prints which has been principally overlooked since its incorporation into the British Museum collection. The present article will examine a number of them in detail, looking also at Bagford’s possible motives for acquiring them and why he might have thought them interesting. To begin with, it will be beneficial to chart the history of the Bagford collection from its acquisition by Edward Harley and accession to the British Museum to the present day. Bagford’s profession and interests complemented each other.5 As a prominent London book dealer active from around 1686, he helped to build some of the great collections including the libraries of Sir Hans Sloane and Edward Harley. Through this he became acquainted with the major antiquarian figures of the time such as Harley’s librarian 1 Melvin Wolf (ed.), Catalogue and Indexes to the Title-Pages of English Printed Books Preserved in the British Library’s Bagford Collection (London, 1974), p. 495. 2 Ibid. 3 The five volumes containing more than one map are Harl.5935, 5956, 5957, 5972 and 5995. 4 A.W. Pollard, ‘A Rough List of the Contents of the Bagford Collection’, Transactions of the Bibliographical Society, vii (London, 1902-4), p. 28, reprinted in Wolf (ed.), Catalogues and Indexes, p. xxi, and William Younger Fletcher, English Book Collectors (London, 1902), p. 136. 5 Milton McC. Gatch, ‘John Bagford, Bookseller and Antiquary’, British Library Journal, xii (1986), pp. 150-71, brings together Bagford’s various interests. 1 eBLJ 2010, Article 1 Fortunate Survivors: Maps and Map Fragments in the Bagford Collection Humfrey Wanley (1672-1726), Thomas Hearne (1678-1735), and Richard Waller (c. 1660- 1715), with the latter of whom Bagford attempted to resurrect the Society of Antiquaries.6 Correspondence between Bagford and these figures reveals a man immersed in the historical issues of the day, and this is emphasized further in the journals of Hearne and Wanley, and in Bagford’s own published and unpublished work.7 It was in pursuit of an ambitious but ultimately unrealized scheme to write a history of printing that the book dealer turned collector, amassing some 4,600 printing samples and gathering them in volumes for use as primary source material for his grand work. It is in this context that the Bagford Collection should be understood, for in terms of its contents and purpose it is a very different collection to those Bagford helped to build. Perceptions of it have altered over time. Earlier biographers, for example, found it hard to reconcile Bagford’s love of books with his seeming disregard for them in removing bits he found interesting,8 despite the fact that the practice, especially with regard to maps, has never really gone away. In fact, the composite nature of the collection, and Bagford’s scholarly motivations for compiling it, implies a stronger affinity with leaf books and certain extra-illustrated volumes than the gatherings of traditional bibliophiles.9 Bagford’s collection enables us not only to study prints which have not survived elsewhere, but to evaluate changing attitudes towards prints, books and collecting. These changing attitudes are appreciable through an analysis of the history of the collection after Bagford’s death in 1716. Most of the material was purchased by Edward Harley,10 and it was as part of Harley’s collection of manuscripts that most of it reached the British Museum upon its foundation in 1753, to be housed in the Department of Manuscripts. There is, of course, a certain irony in a collection of specifically printed material being stored in a place reserved for non-printed items, and it was only in 1890 that the printed material was moved to the Department of Printed Books as part of an exchange between the two departments.11 This delay has much to do with inertia and inflexibility on the part of the British Museum, but it also suggests a particular impression of the Bagford Collection as somehow problematic, ill-suited or at worst irrelevant to the institution. It was, after all, made up largely of title-pages of books which the Museum either already owned or would subsequently purchase. But it was not completely without interest, for in 1814 some 1000 prints, and in 1900 a further 256 prints were transferred to a third party, the Department of Prints and Drawings.12 The folio volume bears testament to these episodes. It has been given the shelfmark Harl.5935, indicating its former ownership by Harley. It contains 125 folios numbered in ink, the watermarks of which suggest a date c. 1707,13 contemporary with Bagford and 6 Theodore Harmsen, Bagford, John (1650/51-1716) in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (Oxford, 2004; online edition, 2008). 7 Correspondence is contained in Harl.

Watermarks Mainly of the 17th and 18th Centuries (Hilversum, 1950), no. 3765 (pl. 506). 2 eBLJ 2010, Article 1 Fortunate Survivors: Maps and Map Fragments in the Bagford Collection consistent with the dates of the constituent maps and prints, the latest being 1704. A note dated 1814 written on a front endpaper and signed by Henry Ellis and William Alexander14 states that one print has been removed to ‘the portfolios of the Print Room’. This statement is confusing, since eighty-seven pages bear evidence of having had prints attached to them, some still retaining the glued corners of these absent works. Establishing any Museum staff involvement in these removals is complicated by the fact that a further fifteen pages have prints stuck over the remnants of other prints, and we should acknowledge that Bagford would himself most probably have removed and attached prints from the volume. However, evidence for at least one undocumented alteration by the Museum concerns a print which bears one of the earliest British Museum stamps on its verso.15 As the print is glued on all four corners it could only have been stamped when it was not attached to the volume, indicating that it must have been attached, or else removed and reattached, after 1753. We may be sure, at any rate, that the contents of the volume have not been drastically altered since 1837, when it was certified to contain only one more than its current ninety- five items by Sir Frederic Madden. Madden became Keeper of the Department of Manuscripts in that same year, and one of his final tasks before his appointment would have involved the numbering of each print and fragment and marking as blank the pages displaying the remnants of removed prints.16 He certifies his work on folio 124v, dating it 1 January 1837.

  • Shrewsbury: the Great West Window
    SHREWSBURY: THE GREAT WEST WINDOW Margaret Rope’s first major commission, which she designed and painted at The Priory, her home in Shrewsbury (reputedly on the kitchen table!), was the Cathedral’s Great West Window. It commemorates Bishop Samuel Webster Allen, 4th Bishop of Shrewsbury, who died in 1908 aged 64, and was unveiled at High Mass on Sunday 27th February 1910 by his successor Bishop Hugh Singleton. According to the detailed account of the occasion in the Catholic journal The Tablet the Bishop ‘drew the cords of the veil and revealed the window through which the sunlight was streaming’1. Margaret was very self-effacing: according to her brother Father Henry Rope at the unveiling she ‘contrived to find a place hidden from view behind the organ’2. First a note about the window’s name. Because of the restricted size and shape of its site the Cathedral was built on a north-south axis instead of having the usual east-west orientation. For liturgical purposes, however, we regard the main altar as being at the east end of the building and this convention was adopted in naming this window, which is at the opposite end to the altar. Geographically speaking it should be the Great South Window! The unusual orientation has the advantage of allowing it to be appreciated in all its glory for much more of the day than it could be if it was really facing west and only catching the evening sun. The six main lights are a picture gallery of British martyrs from the Romans to the Reformation.

  • Hugh Taylor, a Carthusian Lay Brother
    Watch" at dead of night, he saw a procession of angels Hugh Taylor, a in white raiment, each bearing a lighted candle in his hand. Entering the sacristy, they went straight to the carthusian Lay place in which the Sacristan had concealed the sacred particle. They bowed down in deepest adoration, brother opened the pyx, and after remaining some moments in contemplation of their Lord hidden in the Sacrament of Source: The Tablet – The International Catholic News weekly - Page His love to men, they vanished away. When morning 22, 16th March 1895 came, Brother Hugh asked the Sacristan if he had not placed the sacred particle he spoke of in that place. The The Catholic Truth Society has just published a short life answer being in the affirmative, Hugh told the story of of Dom Maurice Chauncy and Brother Hugh Taylor, his vision, and the Sacristan, fully assured by this grace, from the pen of Dom Lawrence Hendriks, of the same consumed the particle during his Mass; "neither," says order. Hugh Taylor was a Conversus, or professed lay Chauncy, "did he fear death, for he received the Author brother, distinguished by his virtues and by the evident of life, not sickness, for he received Him Who healeth all efficacy of his prayers; He entered the London our infirmities; nor did he any longer feel repugnance, Charterhouse in 1518. for he tasted in spirit that the Lord is sweet."

  • The Left Panel Files/John Houghton.Pdf
    Saint John Houghton Born 1487: Essex. Graduate of Cambridge; Degrees in Canon and Civil Law John Houghton was ordained in 1501 and served as a parish priest for four years. A Carthusian monk, he joined the London Charterhouse in 1515 and made his final vows in 1516. He was elected Prior of the Beauvale (Carthusian Charterhouse) at Eastwood in Nottinghamshire in 1531, becoming Prior of the London Charterhouse later in the same year. In 1534 he was the first person to oppose King Henry VIII's Act of Supremacy and was imprisoned with Humphrey Middlemore. When the Oath of Supremacy was modified to include the phrase ‘in so far as the law of God permits’, John felt he could be loyal to Church and Crown; he and several of his monks signed the oath, despite misgivings. Father John was released. A few days later, troops arrived at the Chapter house to force the remaining monks to sign the oath. On 1 February 1535, Parliament required that the original, unmodified oath be signed by all. Following three days of prayer, Father John, with Robert Lawrence* and Augustine Webster*, contacted Thomas Cromwell to seek an exemption for themselves and their monks. The group was immediately arrested and were committed to the Tower of London. He did not defend himself in court, but refused to cooperate or sign the Oath. The jury could find no malice to the King, but when threatened by Cromwell with prosecution themselves, they found John and his co-defendants guilty of treason. John Houghton was hanged, drawn and quartered on 4th May 1535 at Tyburn, London.

    MAX-PLANCK-INSTITUT FÜR WISSENSCHAFTSGESCHICHTE Max Planck Institute for the History of Science 2011 PREPRINT 417 Pietro Daniel Omodeo Sixteenth Century Professors of Mathematics at the German University of Helmstedt A Case Study on Renaissance Scholarly Work and Networks SIXTEENTH CENTURY PROFESSORS OF MATHEMATICS AT THE GERMAN UNIVERSITY OF HELMSTEDT A Case Study on Renaissance Scholarly Work and Networks Pietro Daniel Omodeo This paper investigates the research activity and the teaching of the professors of mathematics at the University of Helmstedt in the sixteenth century as well as their academic collaboration in Germany and abroad.1 It moreover aims to evaluate the meaning of their work and networks for the development of early modern science, in particular astronomy. In order to obtain this overview, I (1.) briefly introduce the University of Helmstedt in its specificity, focusing on the chairs of mathematics. (2.) I consider in detail who the professors were who held the chairs of mathematics, what their education, scientific activity, publications and teaching were, and who the scholars were with whom they collaborated. Finally, (3.) I provide an outline of the academic network of Helmstedt mathematicians. This case study is part of a wider project on the mathematical research and teaching in early modern German universities and on the (national and international) networks of mathematicians (or scholars of disciplines related to mathematics, like cosmology, physics and natural philosophy). A preliminary note on the sources of this overview Documents concerning professors at the University of Helmstedt are preserved in the archive Niedersächsisches Staatsarchiv Wolfenbüttel under the signature 37 Alt. Further documents relative to academic curricula and lectures (the so-called ordines lectionum) are preserved partly in the Herzog August Library of Wolfenbüttel and partly in the Hauptstaatsarchiv of Hannover.

  • Saints John Houghton, Robert Lawrence, Augustine Webster, Richard Reynolds
    Saints John Houghton, Robert Lawrence, Augustine Webster, Richard Reynolds SAINT OF THE DAY 04-05-2020 The saints remembered today were the first to suffer martyrdom for refusing to take the oath to the Act of Supremacy of 1534, which declared King Henry VIII supreme head of the Church of England. These were the Carthusian Protomartyrs John Houghton, Robert Lawrence and Augustine Webster and the Brigidine monk Richard Reynolds, all martyred on 4 May 1535. The four are part of the group of the “Forty Holy Martyrs of England and Wales”, religious and lay people, men and women of different social backgrounds but united by the Catholic faith, who offered their lives as witness to Christ at different dates and times (between 1535 and 1679). Paul VI canonized them all together on October 25, 1970. The 40 are only a part of the hundreds of recognized martyrs, including saints and blesseds, who were also victims of the anti-Catholic persecutions that followed the Anglican Schism. After his illegitimate second marriage to Anne Boleyn and the new Act of Succession, Henry VIII tried to obtain the consent of his subjects, starting with those who had the greatest influence on the people. One of his first objectives was the Charterhouse of London, known for the austerity of the monks' lives, where John Houghton was prior. He asked that his community be released from the obligation to swear the oath to the new law, which demanded the annulment of Henry's marriage (never dissolved by the Pope) to Catherine of Aragon. The exoneration was not granted and therefore Houghton was imprisoned in the Tower of London together with his brother Humphrey Middlemore (he too would be martyred).
