Arnold Editor Shelby Shapiro Bevi Chagnon Associate Editor Production Consultant Hartford 2015 Published by The Connecticut State Library Kendall F. Wiggin Lizette Pelletier State Librarian State Archivist © 2015 Connecticut State Library PREFACE This volume contains a transcription of the positive actions of the General As- sembly of Connecticut during the years 1821 and 1822. The manuscript which forms the core of this volume—and of the entire Public Records series—is the official record of the acts, resolutions, and appointments made by the General Assembly. It is housed at the Connecticut State Library [CSL] in Hartford in Archives Record Group 1. The records of the 1821 session reproduced here can be found on pages 407–561 of Volume 13 of the manuscript; those for 1822 can be found on pages 8–231 of Volume 14. The appendices to each ses- sion reproduce selected supplementary documents culled from the records of the executive department at the CSL and from contemporary newspapers. Time constraints did not permit exhaustive research. The footnotes high- light the major activities of the General Assembly, identify some significant themes and developments, indicate where additional primary source materials can be found in manuscript series at the CSL, and provide information about important public figures. Brief biographies usually appear in footnotes on the first appearance of an individual in a major office and other key figures are occasionally identified when appropriate. Cross-references point to matters discussed elsewhere in this and earlier volumes of the series.

Doreen Na1os Department of FINE ARTS The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date September U . 1 976 ii ABSTRACT The decoration of the Amesbury Psalter, c.1250, is of immediate appeal because of its skilled execu• tion and the richness of its decoration. It is, moreover, interesting iconographically; the Madonna and Child page, which presents Mary as the Virgo lactans, appears to be the earliest representation of this type of Madonna which is of English proven• ance. Although the Virgo lactans is the oldest image of Mary known to us, it has never been the popular im• age of the Virgin as has been, for example, the re• presentation of the seated Hodegetria. This essay traces the history of the Virgo lactans to the cult of Isis in Egypt, explores the image of Mary expressed in theological writings through the centuries, and examines popular concepts of the Virgin portrayed in vernacular literature, and the various ways in which the Madonna and Child theme has been visually presented.

    The Influence Ofmedieval Illuminated Manuscripts on the Pre-Raphaelites and the Early Poetry Ofwilliam Morris Michaela Braesel

    The Influence ofMedieval Illuminated Manuscripts on the Pre-Raphaelites and the Early Poetry ofWilliam Morris Michaela Braesel When considering the influence ofmedieval book illumination on the work of Pre-Raphaelite arrists stress is generally laid upon examples from the thirreemh and fourreemh cemuries. These are the book illu­ minations recommended by John Ruskin, which 'in their bold rejec­ tion ofall principles ofperspective, light and shade, and drawing ... are infinitely more ornamental to the page owi ng to the vivid opposition of their brightcolours and quaintlines, than ifthey had been drawn by Da Vinci himself'. I He also considered that they demonstrated the basic principles ofart: 'clearness ofoutline and simplicity, without the intro­ duction oflightand shade'.1 Ruskin's emhusiasm for the aestheticqual­ ities ofilluminated manuscripts from the fourteenth cemury is evidenr from a statemem he made about the decoration ofa bookofhours in his owncollection which he described as 'notofrefined work, butextreme­ Iy rich, groresque, and full ofpure colour. The new worlds which every leafofthis book opened to me, and the joy I had, couming their letters, and unravelling theirarabesques asifrhey hadall been ofbeaten gold... cannot be told'..1 Comrary to the view ofcontemporaries such as Gus­ tav Friedtich Waagen or Henry Noel Humphreys, Ruskin considered that the most striking example ofthe demise ofmedieval book illumi­ nation was to be seen in the works ofGiulio Clovio (1498-1578), who had umil then been held in high esteem due to Giorgio Vasari's com­ parison ofhim with Michelangelo (1475-1564).4 It is miniatures from the thirreenth and fourteenth centuries, high­ ly valued by Ruskin because ofthe brilliance oftheir colours, which Dante Gabriel Rossetti used as a starring poinr for his watercolours from the second halfofthe 1850s, several ofwhich Morris acquired.
  • The Dover Road

    The Dover Road

    THE DOVER ROAD BY CHARLES G. HARPER The Dover Road I Of all the historic highways of England, the story of the old Road to Dover is the most difficult to tell. No other road in all Christendom (or Pagandom either, for that matter) has so long and continuous a history, nor one so crowded in every age with incident and associations. The writer, therefore, who has the telling of that story to accomplish is weighted with a heavy sense of responsibility, and though (like a village boy marching fearfully through a midnight churchyard) he whistles to keep his courage warm, yet, for all his outward show of indifference, he keeps an awed glance upon the shadows that beset his path, and is prepared to take to his heels at any moment. And see what portentous shadows crowd the long reaches of the Dover Road, and demand attention! Cæsar’s presence haunts the weird plateau of Barham Downs, and the alert imagination hears the tramp of the legionaries along Watling Street on moonlit nights. Shades of Britons, Saxons, Danes, and Normans people the streets of the old towns through which the highway takes its course, or crowd in warlike array upon the hillsides. Kings and queens, nobles, saints of different degrees of sanctity, great blackguards of every degree of blackguardism, and ecclesiastics holy, haughty, proud, or pitiful, rise up before one and terrify with thoughts of the space the record of their doings would occupy; in fine, the wraiths and phantoms of nigh upon two thousand years combine to intimidate the historian.

    Water As Medieval Intellectual Entity

    Water as Medieval Intellectual Entity Case Studies in Twelfth-Century Western Monasticism James L. Smith 10406629 BA(Hons) W.Aust (2008), GCRC QUT (2010) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of The University of Western Australia School of Humanities Discipline of History 2013 ii ABSTRACT In this thesis, the imagery of water serves as a point of focus for an inquiry into the composition of medieval abstract space. As a ubiquitous element of human life with distinct properties and connotations across time, water touches, and has ever touched upon, both what is historically and culturally unique and what is ongoing within environmental imagination. This study examines the significance and the deployment of environmental imagery in the composition, narration, and recollection of organised thought in the Middle Ages. I argue that images of environment in systematic ecological arrangement perform a key role in revealing medieval spaces of thought. The intellectual and imaginative uses of water in medieval thought merge mind and environment, and bind intellection and phenomenon within the spaces of the inner world. This thesis suggests that the medieval logic of these patterned spaces links us intimately to the internal structures of sense-making in a distinct intellectual milieu—that of monastic, twelfth-century, Northern European Christendom—and to the understanding of environment that it implied, be it cultural, religious, or quotidian. In this thesis, I analyse the imagery and the rhetoric of water in various texts as a means to explore the potential meanings of water as an abstract entity in medieval thought.

    Europe’s Confused Transmutation: The Realignment of Moral Cartography in Juan de la Cosa’s Mappa Mundi (1500) James L. Smith **Published in European Review of History—Revue européenne d'histoire, 2014, Vol. 21, No. 6, 799–816, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13507486.2014.960813. This is a final pre-press version of the article without articles. For the final publishers‟ text and images, please follow the doi link above. Abstract Following the voyages of Christopher Columbus, John Cabot, Alonso de Ojeda and Amerigo Vespucci in the last decade of the fifteenth century, the New World of the Americas entered the cartographic and moral consciousness of Europe. In the 1500 mappa mundi of Juan de la Cosa, navigator and map-maker, we see Europe as a hybrid moral entity, a transitional blend of the medieval and the modern at the crossroads between two mappings of Europe. This paper argues that the Juan De la Cosa map represents a blurred transition between map- making traditions and a mixed moral rhetoric of European identity. The De la Cosa map operates across two sets of imagined axes: held horizontally, the map is set to a Ptolemaic grid with Europe straddling the prime meridian, and yet when held vertically it presents a medieval moral continuum in which the Americas occupy an ascendant position, a verdant new Jerusalem in contrast to the Babylon of the old world. Europe is both drawn to the centre of a new world order, and also pushed to the moral margins in an echo of the medieval mappa mundi still imperfectly resolved.
