It depicts Conrad Gesner (1516-1565), a Swiss physician, naturalist and philologist, who was arguably the greatest naturalist of his age. Between 1551 and 1558, he published a four-volume masterwork, the Historiae Animalium, now seen as a bridge between ancient, medieval and modern science. It covered quadrupeds, amphibians, birds, and a fourth volume on fish (Fischbuch, Zurick, 1575, PHI 00359) from which this image is taken. The woodcuts were produced by the artist Lucas Schan of Strasbourg. This volume was presented to the College in 1849 by Thomas Phillips.

  • Conversations with Professor Sir John Hamilton Baker Part 3: Published Works by Lesley Dingle1 and Daniel Bates2 Date: 31 March 2017
    Conversations with Professor Sir John Hamilton Baker Part 3: Published works by Lesley Dingle1 and Daniel Bates2 Date: 31 March 2017 This is the third interview with the twenty-fifth personality for the Eminent Scholars Archive. Professor Sir John Baker is Emeritus Downing Professor of the Laws of England at the University of Cambridge. The interview was recorded, and the audio version is available on this website. Questions in the interviews are sequentially numbered for use in a database of citations to personalities mentioned across the Eminent Scholars Archive. Interviewer: Lesley Dingle, her questions are in bold type. Professor Baker’s answers are in normal type. Comments added by LD, [in italics]. Footnotes added by LD. 178. Professor Baker, we now come to the point where we can discuss your scholarly works and the research that you have undertaken over the last half a century to produce them. To say that you have been very productive and that your output has been impressive would be to understate your contribution to scholarly legal history. Your CV lists 38 books, 123 chapters in books, 183 articles and notes, 12 pamphlets, 35 book reviews and 97 invited lectures. Also, remembering that you have always had a full academic life of lecturing, administration and activity in learned societies puts these achievements even more clearly into perspective. It would have been impossible for me to have read more than a small percentage of this material and, consequently, I hope you will forgive me for having been very selective in the books and the papers that I have looked at in detail.

  • Ceredigion Welsh District Council Elections Results 1973-1991
    Ceredigion Welsh District Council Elections Results 1973-1991 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

  • DISSERTATION-Submission Reformatted
    The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 By Robert Lee Harkins A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor David Bates Fall 2013 © Robert Lee Harkins 2013 All Rights Reserved 1 Abstract The Dilemma of Obedience: Persecution, Dissimulation, and Memory in Early Modern England, 1553-1603 by Robert Lee Harkins Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Ethan Shagan, Chair This study examines the problem of religious and political obedience in early modern England. 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. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.
