    MIDDLEMARCH AdAm RobeRts Epigraphs and Mirrors A AdAm RobeRts d A m Using epigraphs as a lens to open up new vistas, this study explores a wide range R of connectons. Moving freely between epigraphs and the main text, Roberts obe succeeds in throwing fresh light on the manifold ‘middleness’ of Middlemarch and the richness and sophistcaton of George Eliot’s realism. R ts John Rignall In Middlemarch, George Eliot draws a character passionately absorbed by abstruse allusion and obscure epigraphs. Casaubon’s obsession is a cautonary tale, but Adam Roberts nonetheless sees in him an invitaton to take Eliot’s use of epigraphy and allusion seriously, and this book is an atempt to do just that. Roberts considers the epigraph as a mirror that refracts the meaning of a text, and that thus carries important resonances for the way Eliot’s novels generate their meanings. In this lively and provoking study, he tracks down those allusions and quotatons that have hitherto gone unidentfed by scholars, examining their MIDDLEMARCH relatonship to the text in which they sit to unfurl a broader argument about the novel – both this novel, and the novel form itself. Middlemarch: Epigraphs and Mirrors is both a study of George Eliot and a meditaton on the textuality of fcton. It is essental reading for specialists and students of George Eliot, the nineteenth century novel, and intertextuality. It will also richly reward anyone who has ever taken pleasure in Middlemarch. This is the author-approved editon of this Open Access ttle. As with all Open Book publicatons, this entre book is available to read for free on the publisher’s website.

  • Minimal Faith and Irenic Ideals in Seventeenth-Century Scholarly Circles Hugo Grotius As a Guardian of Isaac Casaubon’S Legacy*
    Church History Church History and and Religious Culture 94 (2014) 444–478 Religious Culture brill.com/chrc Minimal Faith and Irenic Ideals in Seventeenth-Century Scholarly Circles Hugo Grotius as a Guardian of Isaac Casaubon’s Legacy* Henk Nellen Huygens Institute, The Hague, The Netherlands [email protected] Abstract This article shows how the Dutch humanist Hugo Grotius (1583–1645), inspired by his friend Isaac Casaubon, sought to introduce a procedure for mitigating strife in the Christian church. He proclaimed a division between a set of self-evident, universally accepted key tenets, to be endorsed by all believers, and a larger number of secondary, not completely certain articles of faith, which were to be left open for friendly debate. The doctrine of the Trinity belonged to the second category; it should be treated in a careful, detached way, in words that did not go beyond the terminology of the Bible. However, defenders of this irenic stance laid themselves open to severe criticism: the example of the conservative Lutheran theologian Abraham Calovius illustrates how they were censured for giving up divinely inspired truth for a chimerical unionist ideal which cajoled them into reintroducing the early Christian heresy of Arianism, now called Socinianism. Keywords minimal faith – secularisation – Socinianism – exegesis – seventeenth-century intellectual life – Grotius – Casaubon * Research for this article was conducted within the project ‘Biblical Criticism and Seculariza- tion in the Seventeenth Century’ (nwo, Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, 360–25–090). I am indebted to two anonymous reviewers for their remarks on an earlier ver- sion of this article.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 5 Prototypes and Symbolism in Middlemarch he question of prototypes for characters in George Eliot’s fi ction has Talways been a subject of interest. The publication of Richard Ellmann’s essay ‘Dorothea’s Husbands’ in the Times Literary Supplement in 1973 1 provoked a long-running correspondence in its letters page. This correspondence refl ected the assumption that one should look to real people personally known to her for prototypes of her characters.2 But though Middlemarch is undoubtedly in certain respects a novel with some strongly personal aspects, it is also concerned with wider issues. To consider the question of prototypes only in relation to people she knew personally limits the novel’s scope since it does not suffi ciently acknowledge that Eliot is both artist and intellectual and that for her the two are not separable. I shall suggest that historical fi gures were a more signifi cant infl uence on Eliot’s characterization in artistic terms than people she knew and that this can offer insight into some of the cultural issues the novel is concerned with.

Smith had been born in Hereford, he became a prebend there in 1580, and his career was closely associated with that of another Hereford Cathedral prebend, Gervase Babington (1549/50-1610). His time at Gloucester seems to have been difficult and controversial, and it is striking he chose to leave his books to the library at Hereford, where he was born, rather than Gloucester, where he was a bishop. Smith does not seem to have been unique in his desire to improve libraries’ holdings of oriental books: Richard Kilbye (1560-1620), for instance, left his collection of Hebrew books to the library of Lincoln College,

  • Georg Calixtus and the Humanist Tradition
    Georg Calixtus and the Humanist Tradition Christian Thorsten Callisen Diploma of Financial Services (Financial Planning) Finsia Postgraduate Certificate in Business USQ Research Students Centre Division of Research & Commercialisation Queensland University of Technology Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) 2010 i Keywords Georg Calixtus (1586–1656); Isaac Casaubon (1559–1614); humanism; ars historica; consensus antiquitatis; calixtine theology; irenicism; Renaissance; history of ideas; early modern Europe ii Abstract Georg Calixtus (1586–1656) was a Lutheran theologian, prominent in the German lands during the first half of the seventeenth century. Existing research focuses on Calixtus‘ contributions to religious and theological debates, particularly in regard to his role in the Syncretistic Controversy of the latter half of the seventeenth century, and in regard to his unique position as a Lutheran who aspired to reunion between the different Christian confessions. This thesis problematises this focus on Calixtus by theologians and ecclesiastical historians, and argues that the genesis and transmission of his ideas cannot be fully appreciated without considering his relationship with the broader intellectual milieu of early modern Europe. It does this by exploring Calixtus‘ interaction with the humanist tradition, in particular by reconsidering his relationship with Isaac Casaubon (1559–1614), and by exploring his work in light of intellectual movements that were taking place outside the Christian church. In so doing, this thesis argues that Calixtus made contributions to early modern thought that have been overlooked in the existing literature. It also becomes apparent that much research remains to be done to gain a more accurate picture of his place in the early modern intellectual landscape, and of his legacy to later generations of scholars.

  • Joseph Scaliger, Isaac Casaubon and Richard Thomson Paul Botley University of Warwick
    Three Very Different Translators: Joseph Scaliger, Isaac Casaubon and Richard Thomson Paul Botley University of Warwick This essay revisits some ideas on translation which I developed several years ago. They 477 were published as part of a book on Latin translation in the fifteenth and early six- teenth centuries, and one of the purposes of the present essay is to discover whether the intervening years have been kind to them. That book,Latin Translation in the Renaissance, examined the work of a number of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century translators, in particular, Leonardo Bruni, Giannozzo Manetti and Desiderius Erasmus, and suggested an alternative approach to categorising renaissance translations. It argued that in the fifteenth century ideas about translation became more sophisticated because of the proliferation of different translations of the same text. This was a new phenomenon: by and large, the Middle Ages had been obliged to make do with unique versions of a rather small number of Greek texts, and medieval scholars were seldom in a position to compare the merits of rival versions. In the fifteenth century, a number of versions of the same Greek text became available. As a consequence of this multiplication of renderings, even those who knew nothing of the original language were able to evaluate the differences between versions. Thus, in the fifteenth century, it became possible for a reader with no knowledge of Greek to deepen his understanding of a Greek author by collating a number of Latin translations of the original text. In such circumstances, the relation- ship of the translation to the other available translations was at least as important as the relationship of the translation to the original, Greek, text.1 Thinking about these relationships between these early modern translations led me to suggest that they could be placed into three broad categories, which I called replacements, competitors and supplements.

  • An Ontological View of Canonical Citations
    An Ontological View of Canonical Citations Matteo Romanello, <[email protected]> Michele Pasin, <[email protected]> Canonical citations are references to Classical (i.e. Greek and Latin) texts that are expressed by scholars by means of an abridged canonical format (1,2). They fulfil the function of providing an abstract reference scheme for texts (somehow similar to the function of geographical coordinates to express references to places) since they allow us to express references to them no matter what particular text edition we are actually looking at. For example, the reference to the twelfth book of Homer's Iliad expressed as “Hom. Il. XII 1” can be resolved to the text of the same passage as established in various critical editions of that work, where “XII” and “1” are the “coordinates” that allow us to locate that precise text passage within all critical editions of Homer's Iliad. Historically, canonical references are the result of an effort – whose origins can be traced back to the Renaissance (3,4) – made by the scholarly community as a whole to provide a precise, stable and shared way to refer to Classical texts. Since the early stages of Humanities Computing and Digital Humanities (5-7), canonical references were regarded as the ideal candidate on which to experiment the potentialities of hypertext: indeed they can be seen as hyperlinks in potentia pointing a text from within another. More recently (8) they were considered as discipline-specific kind of named entities that Classics scholars should be provided with tools to search for within their texts.

  • Casaubon's Dubious Bequest
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02771-8 — The World of Mr Casaubon Colin Kidd Excerpt More Information 1 Chapter 1 Prologue : Casaubon’s Dubious Bequest My mind is something like the ghost of an ancient, wandering about the world and trying mentally to construct it as it used to be. (Middlemarch , ch. 2) George E was not quite ‘goddess’ – or was ‘goddess’ with a l aw. (F. W. Maitland to Henry Jackson, 25 February 1904, in C. H. S. Fifoot [ed.], h e Letters of Frederic William Maitland [Selden Society, 1965], p. 296) Unusually, perhaps, this work of history takes as its point of departure a i ctional character: Mr Casaubon, the bookish and unworldly clergyman who plays a central role in the plot of George Eliot’s novel Middlemarch (1871– 2). Postmodern playfulness, however, stops here. What follows is anchored in the realm of eighteenth- and nineteenth- century intellectual life, and tries to describe the contours and content of the once- lively genre of religious apologetics to which the Reverend Edward Casaubon aspired to contribute. h e title of Casaubon’s uni nished manuscript is ‘h e Key to All Mythologies’, which is also used as shorthand here for the i eld in which Casaubon operates. It is very important to stress at the outset that the primary emphasis of this book does not fall upon the various inl uences which directly shaped Eliot’s portrayal of Casaubon and his activities as a mythographer – or, as often as not, his sluggish and misdirected inactivity. Rather this study anatomises Casaubon’s hobby horse.
