Parte Seconda Bibliotheca Collinsiana, Seu Catalogus Librorum Antonji Collins Armigeri Ordine Alphabetico Digestus Parte seconda Bibliotheca Collinsiana, seu Catalogus Librorum Antonji Collins Armigeri ordine alphabetico digestus Avvertenza La biblioteca non è solo il luogo della tua memoria, dove conservi quel che hai letto, ma il luogo della memoria universale, dove un giorno, nel momento fata- le, potrai trovare quello che altri hanno letto prima di te. Umberto Eco, La memoria vegetale e altri scritti di bibliografia, Milano, Rovello, 2006 Si propone qui un’edizione del catalogo manoscritto della collezione libra- ria di Anthony Collins,1 la cui prima compilazione egli completò nel 1720.2 Nei nove anni successivi tuttavia Collins ampliò enormemente la sua biblioteca, sin quasi a raddoppiarne il numero delle opere. Annotò i nuovi titoli sulle pagine pari del suo catalogo che aveva accortamente riservato a successive integrazio- ni. Dispose le nuove inserzioni in corrispondenza degli autori già schedati, attento a preservare il più possibile l’ordine alfabetico. Questo tuttavia è talora impreciso e discontinuo.3 Le inesattezze, che ricorrono più frequentemente fra i titoli di inclusione più tarda, devono imputarsi alla difficoltà crescente di annotare nel giusto ordine le ingenti e continue acquisizioni. Sono altresì rico- noscibili abrasioni e cancellature ed in alcuni casi, forse per esigenze di spazio, oppure per sostituire i titoli espunti, i lemmi della prima stesura sono frammez- zati da titoli pubblicati in date successive al 1720.4 In appendice al catalogo, due liste confuse di titoli, per la più parte anonimi, si svolgono l’una nelle pagi- ne dispari e l’altra in quelle pari del volume.5 Agli anonimi seguono sparsi altri 1 Sono molto grato a Francesca Gallori e Barbara Maria Graf per aver contribuito alla revi- sione della mia trascrizione con dedizione e generosità. 2 Il volume è conservato nella biblioteca universitaria del King’s College di Cambridge (Keynes Mss 217, ‘Bibliotheca Collinsiana’). Un opportuno intervento nel 1977 di pulitura delle pagine e di rattoppo di tagli e lacune nonché il rinnovo della legatura in cuoio ne hanno conso- lidato l’integrità e l’accessibilità. Due fogli del catalogo sono stati apparentemente rimossi: il primo tra pagina 531 e pagina 532; il secondo tra 537 e 538. La numerazione delle ultime pagi- ne (541-564) è discontinua. 3 Esempi di indicizzazione errata: vedi infra, Catalogus librorum, nn. 7591, 7787, 8480 (variante omofona), 9798, 9799. 4 Esempi di titoli pubblicati dopo il 1720 ma riportati tra le pagine dispari del catalogo: Keynes Mss 217, pp. 39, 62, 92, 260-264, 328, 341, 425. Esempi di cancellature: ivi, pp. 29, 38, 71, 96, 112, 163, 174, 192, 194, 236, 243 [244], 258, 311, 318, 345, 353, 365, 369, 404, 406, 412, 430, 434, 467, 469, 519, 536, 537, 538, 539, 540, 541, 543 (pagina non numerata), 556 (pagina non numerata), 564 [563]. Annotazioni di mano diversa: ivi, pp. 16, 107, 366, 426, 526. 5 Nell’ultima pagina ricorre un appunto di sbieco e poco leggibile: Jurieu / Lowthorp & Jones / Gussemps [?] / Canon of the O. and N. [Testament?] / Colonia [?] / Larner [?]. Mi è pos- 163 gruppi di titoli, accostati perlopiù secondo la comune iniziale dei nomi dei loro autori o per l’essere tutti di uno stesso autore. Non è chiaro se si tratti di anno- tazioni preliminari ad un successivo riordino del catalogo, impedito dalla scomparsa dell’Autore, o magari di volumi dati o avuti in prestito. Non ci si attenda però una restituzione filologica del testo manoscritto. Si è privilegiata piuttosto l’identificazione certa di titoli e autori. Si è conservata la disposizione originaria dei lemmi malgrado le discontinuità nella successione alfabetica, per consentire a chi abbia a ripercorrere il manoscritto di riconosce- re agilmente gli interventi adottati. Ciascun lemma comprende generalmente il cognome e il nome dell’autore, le date anagrafiche quando occorre, il titolo dell’opera, il numero dei volumi quando l’Autore lo specifichi, il formato, il luogo di stampa solitamente abbre- viato, l’anno di pubblicazione e la segnatura. Ai manoscritti è premesso un con- « trassegno evidente ( ).6 Per l’identificazione delle opere ci si è avvalsi di strumenti diversi di inter- rogazione e ricerca bibliografica. Tra questi i prevalenti sono stati: il catalogo d’asta compilato da Thomas Ballard in occasione della vendita, nel gennaio e nel marzo 1731, di gran parte della collezione collinsiana; i cataloghi elettroni- ci interrogabili on-line delle principali biblioteche nazionali europee; le colle- zioni confluite negli Early English Books Online (EEBO); l’English Short Title Catalogue (ESTC); il catalogo collettivo universitario britannico (COPAC).7 Degli autori si è completato generalmente il nome, rinunciando a riprodurne l’indicazione al genitivo latino o sassone.8 Questa scelta inficia ulteriormente l’ordine alfabetico, ma consente un’immediata identificazione degli autori. Si sono sciolte numerose omonimie, riportando, quando necessario, le date anagra- fiche. Quando di un’opera non è dato l’autore, il titolo è collocato secondo l’or- dine alfabetico. Fra i titoli di uno stesso autore, l’ordine è apparentemente casua- le. Le integrazioni, nonché i punti di interrogazione che denunciano un lemma non identificato o dubbio, sono segnalate da parentesi quadre in carattere tondo. I tempi e le risorse disponibili non hanno consentito di predisporre un indi- ce dei nomi relativo al solo catalogo – benché funzionale ad una sua più effi- cace fruizione – , né di provvedere a opportuni rimandi quando le stesse opere ricorrano più volte (sotto i nomi degli autori, e magari di ciascuno di essi quan- do si tratti di opere collettive; dei traduttori; dei glossatori; dei titoli; oppure dei soggetti trattati, come nel caso di biografie o resoconti processuali). Le segna- sibile trarne soltanto un riferimento certo ai volumi delle Philosophical Transactions curati da John Lowthorp e Henry Jones ed un altro, plausibile, a Louis Ellies Du Pin, A compleat history of the canon and writers, of the books of the old and new testament (London: 1699-1700). 6 Vedi infra, Catalogus Librorum, nn. 357, 2775, 3588, 3806, 4740, 4966, 5339, 5340, 8172, 8495, 8555, 9678, 9908, 9911, 9912, 10726 e supra, pp. 70, 106, 123, 126, 139. 7 Desidero esprimere la mia riconoscenza a Shirley Cousins (Copac Service Manchester Computing, Manchester University) per avermi edotto dell’utilizzo più proficuo di questo pre- zioso strumento di lavoro. 8 Cfr. Diaz, ‘Questioni di metodo storiografico’ cit., pp. 8-33: 15-16. 164 lazioni e i rilievi di quanti si avvarranno nei loro studi di questo strumento di lavoro ne consentiranno forse una revisione che rimedi a errori, fraintendimen- ti e lacune. Le abbreviazioni sono state generalmente sciolte, salvi i casi di intuitiva comprensione o di comune impiego (es.: Bp, Mr, Ld, agt , Gr. & Lat., notis. var., s.l., ed., etc.) e salvi inoltre i luoghi di stampa ricorrenti, precisati in una appo- sita tavola. La grafia e la punteggiatura sono state lievemente ammodernate. Si è fatto un uso parco delle maiuscole. I titoli sono stati completati nella misura da consentirne una identificazione certa. Laddove la sintesi del titolo proposta dal Collins è parsa pregnante, o comunque non integrabile, si è riportato il tito- lo originale in nota. Il formato dei volumi, quasi sempre riportato, in numerosi casi contraddice la classificazione moderna. Si è tuttavia deciso di riprodurre la descrizione dell’Autore, anche al fine di incoraggiare ulteriori indagini su quanto il forma- to abbia influito sulla disposizione dei libri sugli scaffali o sulla determinazio- ne del prezzo d’asta.9 Si sono riportate la date di edizione indicate nel manoscritto. Quando opportuno, comunque in casi limitati, ad esse si sono accostate, tra parentesi quadre, delle ipotesi correttive. In numerosissimi casi si è notato uno slittamen- to di un solo anno rispetto a edizioni note. Questo deve imputarsi talora a pos- sibili ristampe, magari perdute, di opuscoli e libelli di occasione, talaltra al per- durante uso in Inghilterra (e fino al 1752) del calendario giuliano che, come è noto, differiva di dieci giorni da quello gregoriano e iniziava il 25 marzo. Naturalmente non può escludersi l’errore materiale dell’estensore del catalogo. Una considerazione attenta delle segnature potrebbe consentire di ricom- porre la disposizione dei volumi nella biblioteca fisica del Collins e di operare idealmente quanto su istruzione di Caterina II, poté realizzare Jean-Luis Wagnière, segretario e amico di Voltaire, ricostruendo all’Ermitage la bibliote- ca di Ferney. 9 Ad esempio i grandi formati o le opere ponderose ricorrono sovente sotto la segnatura ‘B.’ Alcune opere, e tra queste diversi atlanti, sono contrassegnate da tre ‘x’ (vedi infra, Catalogus librorum, nn. 218, 544, 823, 1105, 3414, 3693, 3945, 4941, 4954, 6334). Fra i titoli fuori cata- logo ad alcuni lemmi è invece premessa una ‘x’ che non sostituisce però la segnatura (ivi, nn. 10368, 10380, 10487, 10498, 10504, 10596, 10600). 165 Abbreviazioni dei luoghi di stampa Altd Altdorphii Altdorf Altona Altonae ad Albim Hamburg Amb Amberes Amst Amstelodami Amsterdam Antw Antuerpiae, Antwerpiae Antwerpen ap.Al.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief.

  • Myth and Reality in the Battle Between the Pygmies and the Cranes in the Greek and Roman Worlds
    ARTÍCULOS Gerión. Revista de historia Antigua ISSN: 0213-0181 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/GERI.56960 Myth and Reality in the Battle between the Pygmies and the Cranes in the Greek and Roman Worlds Asher Ovadiah1; Sonia Mucznik2 Recibido: 19 de septiembre de 2016 / Aceptado: 23 de marzo de 2017 Abstract. Ancient writers, such as Homer, Aesop, Hecataeus of Miletus, Herodotus, Aristotle, Philostratus, Pliny the Elder, Juvenal and others have often referred to the enmity and struggle between the Pygmies and the Cranes. It seems that this folk-tale was conveyed to the Greeks through Egyptian sources. Greek and Roman visual works of art depict the Pygmies fighting against the vigorous and violent attack of the birds, which in some cases was vicious. This article sets out to examine the reasons for the literary and artistic portrayals of the Battle between the Pygmies and the Cranes (Geranomachy) in the context of the migration of the cranes in the autumn from the Caucasus (Scythian plains) to Central (Equatorial) Africa. In addition, an attempt will be made to clarify whether the literary sources and visual works of art reflect myth and/or reality. Keywords: Egypt; Ethiopia; Geranomachy; Migration; Nile; Scythia; Trojans. [en] Mito y realidad en la batalla entre los pigmeos y las grullas en el mundo griego y romano Resumen. Escritores antiguos, tales como Homero, Esopo, Hecateo de Mileto, Herodoto, Aristóteles, Filóstrato, Plinio el Viejo, Juvenal y otros se refirieron frecuentemente a la enemistad y guerra entre los pigmeos y las grullas. Es posible que este cuento popular fuese transmitido a los griegos a través de fuentes egipcias.

This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

  • Manresa and Saint Ignatius of Loyola
    JOAN SEGARRA PIJUAN was born in Tárrega, Spain on June 29, 1926. He joined the Society of Jesus in 1942. Seventeen years later he completed his religious and cultural education. On July 29, 1956 – in the Year of Saint Ignatius – he was ordained at the cathedral in Manresa. He has spent much of his life in Veruela, Bar- celona, Sant Cugat del Vallès, Palma (Majorca), Raimat, Rome and Man- resa and has also lived in a number of countries in Central and South Ameri- ca, Africa and Europe. He has always been interested in spi- ritual theology and the study of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. SAINT IGNA- TIUS AND MANRESA describes the Saint’s sojourn here in a simple, rea- dable style. The footnotes and exten- sive bibliography will be of particular interest to scholars wishing the study the life of St. Ignatius in greater de- tail. This book deals only with the months Saint Ignatius spent in Man- resa, which may have been the most interesting part of his life: the months of his pilgrimage and his mystical en- lightenments. Manresa is at the heart of the Pilgrim’s stay in Catalonia because “between Ignatius and Man- resa there is a bond that nothing can break” (Torras y Bages).

  • Introduction the GSR : REDON ’S IDEALS and REALITIES
    Rutger Kramer – RMA Thesis – Monastic Ideals and the Use of the Bible in the GSR – 2007 Introduction THE GSR : REDON ’S IDEALS AND REALITIES Once upon a time, in the region that is nowadays known as Brittany, in the north-west of France, there lived a powerful nobleman whose name was Haelwocon. If this man, close advisor of the ruler of the land, had but one vice, it was his dependence on the lazy and luxurious lifestyle he had grown accustomed to. Haelwocon was a slave to his belly. He also was a drinker of wine beyond measure, and to make matters even worse, he refused to take advice from anybody when he was reproached, and he just laughed when called upon to mend his erroneous ways. In doing this, he opened himself up to attacks by demons, and only after such an attack had finally happened did he repent. Tormented by convulsions, he ordered his servants to tie him up and bring him to the nearest monastery, where he hoped he might find solace. Indeed, he did. Through the prayers of the monks, the demons were expelled from his body, “and from that day he took care to mend his ways and lead a sober life, and revere the holy place”. The story of Haelwocon is a story of redemption that has been written down in the Gesta Sanctorum Rotonensium ( GSR ), a ninth-century work that tells about origins and rise to prominence of the monastery of Redon, its first abbot, and the first generation of monks. 1 As such, it is no surprise that, in this anecdote, the monastery the hapless aristocrat asks to be brought to, is indeed Redon.
