Natur a chynnwys | Scope and content Three letters, 1568-1571, written in Latin to Abraham Ortelius, the Flemish cartographer, the first, 3 August 1568, from Humphrey Llwyd (Lhuyd), physician and antiquary, at Denbigh when he was mortally ill (a contemporary note, possibly by Ortelius, at the foot of the letter states that he died 31 August ('prid. Cal. Sept.') [1568]), the second, 2 November 1570, from Robert Owen in haste at Douai, and the third, 2 January 1570[/1], from Hu: Owen, brother of Robert Owen, at the earl of Arundel's house in London, all Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru = The National Library of Wales Tudalen | Page 3 NLW MS 13187E. Letters to Abraham Ortelius, three letters connected with each other and with the work of Humphrey Llwyd. In the top left hand corner they are numbered in pencil 27, 31 and 34: these are the numbers which were given to them when they were published in chronological order by J. H. Hessels in Ecclesiae Londino- Batavae Archivum, Tom. 1, Abrahami Ortelii . epistulae (Cantabrigiae, 1887). The pagination in ink (421-4, 829-30, and 425-6) and other numbers in pencil (? 131, 211 and 210) appear to belong to earlier arrangements of the letters, one in order of Christian names, the other in order of surnames (Hessels, op. cit., pp. x-xi). The Humphrey Llwyd letter has been reproduced as a frontispiece to the Annual Report of the National Library of Wales, 1967-1968. In his letter Llwyd acknowledges receipt of Ortelius's description of Asia, refers to his own serious illness, and sends Ortelius his (Llwyd's) map of Wales, two maps of England, and what he describes as some fragments of a description of Britain written in his own hand. Only the conclusion of the letter (after 'vale'), one or two insertions and corrections, the address and an endorsement are in the handwriting of Humphrey Llwyd. The endorsement reads 'Mr Owen [i.e. Hugh Owen] fold vp these saff & delyuer theym at on EMANVEL house at Somers kay beneth bylyngesgate to be sent to Antwerp: vale' (see also Trans. Cymmr., 1937, plate facing p. 136). Hugh Owen and Robert Owen were Roman Catholics and of the Owen family of Plas-du, Llanarmon, co. Caernarvon (see D.W.B. under Owen family of Plas-du, Caerns., and the references given there). Robert Owen in his letter enquires on behalf of his brother whether the description of England and the chorography of Wales by the late Humphrey Llwyd, together with a letter written in Latin, have reached Ortelius. He asks him not to write to Douai as he will be going to England for the sake of his health following a serious illness, but rather to direct his letter to his brother or him at the earl of Arundel's house in London. Hugh Owen acknowledges receipt of a letter from Ortelius from which he learned that Humphrey Llwyd's brief commentary of Britain with the map of Wales has reached him safely and thanks him for so readily embracing the last, but immature and imperfect, works of their common friend. He is sorry knowledge of Ortelius's doubts about certain words did not reach him before his brother left the Netherlands but he will do his utmost to fill the gap if Ortelius will send him notes and lists both of the words in the commentary and of the matters and places in the map. He has kept a copy of the book lest any harm should befall it in transit and so that it need not be sent back if Ortelius is in doubt on any point [It was published under the title Commentarioli Britannicae descriptionis fragmentum.

  • The Cultural and Ideological Significance of Representations of Boudica During the Reigns of Elizabeth I and James I
    EXETER UNIVERSITY AND UNIVERSITÉ D’ORLÉANS The Cultural and Ideological Significance Of Representations of Boudica During the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. Submitted by Samantha FRENEE-HUTCHINS to the universities of Exeter and Orléans as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, June 2009. This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ..................................... (signature) 2 Abstract in English: This study follows the trail of Boudica from her rediscovery in Classical texts by the humanist scholars of the fifteenth century to her didactic and nationalist representations by Italian, English, Welsh and Scottish historians such as Polydore Virgil, Hector Boece, Humphrey Llwyd, Raphael Holinshed, John Stow, William Camden, John Speed and Edmund Bolton. In the literary domain her story was appropriated under Elizabeth I and James I by poets and playwrights who included James Aske, Edmund Spenser, Ben Jonson, William Shakespeare, A. Gent and John Fletcher. As a political, religious and military figure in the middle of the first century AD this Celtic and regional queen of Norfolk is placed at the beginning of British history. In a gesture of revenge and despair she had united a great number of British tribes and opposed the Roman Empire in a tragic effort to obtain liberty for her family and her people.

  • THE ELIZABETHAN IDEA of EMPIRE by David Armitage
    Transactions of the RHS (), pp. – C Royal Historical Society DOI: ./SX Printed in the United Kingdom THE ELIZABETHAN IDEA OF EMPIRE By David Armitage ABSTRACT. This paper argues that the English idea of empire in the reign of Elizabeth I was derivative, belated and incoherent. Its sources were classical and continental rather than indigenous. It arose more than a century after the Scottish monarchy had elaborated its own conception of empire. Moreover, it expressed a sense of backwardness, isolation and anxiety that mirrored the English failure to establish any permanent settlements in the Atlantic world. As a result, any balance sheet of empire drawn up on Elizabeth’s death in would have valued prospects in the Mediterranean and the East Indies more highly than possibilities in the Americas. ‘Between and , ...England, without realizing it at the time, became (if I may be forgiven the expression) an island, in other words an autonomous unit distinct from continental Europe’, wrote Fernand Braudel. was a terminus ad quem less for the accession of a Protestant queen to the English throne than for the loss of Calais, the English crown’s last territorial toehold on the European Continent. Braudel’s remark obviously ignored Scotland, England’s insular neighbour to the north. It overlooked Ireland, England’s semi-independent dependency to the west. And it also assumed that England’s formal geographical displacement from ‘Europe’ could be taken to imply its geopolitical disengagement as well. However, Braudel’s point was not that ‘England’ became wholly isolated from the rest of the world and sufficient unto itself; rather, its detachment from its traditional trading links with Europe opened it up to a grander destiny as a central player in the emergent Atlantic and global economy.

  • Catalogue of Principal Sources Used in 1577 Edition of Holinshed’S Chronicles
    CATALOGUE OF PRINCIPAL SOURCES USED IN 1577 EDITION OF HOLINSHED’S CHRONICLES COMPILED BY HENRY SUMMERSON This catalogue is the first of four to be made available as components of work now in progress on Holinshed’s Chronicles. Unlike the other three, this one forms a discrete, integral, part of the Chronicles, having been published within the preliminaries to both editions. It was presumably intended to catalogue only the principal authors used by Holinshed in compiling the first edition of 1577 (no additions were made to it ten years later). The number of sources mentioned in passing in the text is considerably greater than those presented here. It is intended that the second list will cover named authors who are incidentally referred to, and that the third will contain, and as far as possible identify, the anonymous sources cited, while the fourth (and shortest) will provide references to information originating in personal contacts. Thus what follows here represents an attempt at explicating what is only a selection of Holinshed’s sources. This list is nevertheless a very wide-ranging one, containing books relating to many countries besides England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Presumably this is at least partly due to the Chronicles’ having developed from a project for a vast universal history - an appendix at the end contains references to other national histories which may have originated in the same plan, and whose publication may even have seemed still possible in 1577. It should be remembered that in sixteenth-century England texts circulated widely in partial or complete transcripts, and where it is surmised that a particular manuscript was used, this should be understood as meaning either that manuscript or a copy of it.

  • Y Gen Newsletter April – June 2019
    Y Gen Newsletter April – June 2019 Travelling the world to collect and share information A number of staff from the Systems and Standards Unit have been on tour in recent months. At the end of May Siân Thomas and Vicky Phillips attended the ‘Fedora Camp’ course held at Emory University, Atlanta. Representatives from a number of organisations around the world came together to learn more about Fedora, the digital repository platform which is used here at the Library. The aim of the team in attending this year’s event was not only to expand our existing knowledge of the system, but also to learn as much as possible about the most recent versions of the software in preparation of upgrading our current repository. For the same purpose, Ioan Isaac-Richards was in Hamburg at the beginning of June to attend the Open Repositories conference. This is the largest conference for digital repositories in the world, and we have been able to gather much useful information and make new contacts that will feed into the upgrade and migration process during the operational year. AHRC Project - Networking Research Scheme Siôn England attended a meeting of the above project in London, where the UK's national libraries are collaborating with Glasgow University and the HathiTrust in the USA to identify overlaps between collections/items of heritage collections that have been digitised, and to consider options for creating one data set for all digitised collections across the world. Our data have been sent to the HathiTrust who are currently reviewing the initial reports. 1 Updating data Systems Unit staff have also been working on amending data in our catalogue, firstly the records for electronic Legal Deposit monographs, and secondly our archival records from the AtoM system.
