Ref No: JRH Extent: 5 Linear Metres Title: Papers of James Rendel Harris Date: C CATALOGUE OF THE PAPERS OF JAMES RENDEL HARRIS HELD AT WOODBROOKE COLLEGE, SELLY OAK ___________________________________________________________________________ Collection description ___________________________________________________________________________ Ref No: JRH Extent: 5 linear metres Title: Papers of James Rendel Harris Date: c. 1880s-1960s Description: The papers of James Rendel Harris include notebooks and newspaper cuttings relating to his research on folklore and the history of the Pilgrim Fathers' ship, the Mayflower; and correspondence with other scholars and friends: Herbert George Wood, his secretary Irene Speller Pickard, Eric Wills, and L Violet Hodgkin. The collection contains many of his own copies of his books and essays, published and unpublished. These are often annotated and occasionally contain letters or other documents. There are also papers about him collected by Irene Speller Pickard during the writing of her book, 'Memories of James Rendel Harris'; and papers of Harris's nephew, John Major, concerning their research on the Egyptian origins of English place names, which was Harris's main research interest in the last years of his life. Arrangement: The papers have been divided into three groups (sub-fonds): papers created by Rendel Harris himself, and papers about him collected by Irene Pickard and by his nephew John Major. The first group has been arranged by record type into five series: press cuttings and research notes; notebooks; articles and lectures; correspondence; and books. The collection was originally listed using references beginning G Har. These correspond to the new references as follows: G Har 1 JRH 1/1/1 G Har 2 JRH 1/3/1 G Har 3 JRH 1/3/2 G Har 4 JRH 1/4/5 G Har 5 JRH 3 G Har 6 JRH 1/1/2 G Har 7 JRH 1/4/9 G Har 8 JRH 1/3/3 G Har 9 JRH 1/4/6 G Har 10 JRH 1/4/7 G Har 11 JRH 1/4/4 G Har 12 JRH 1/4/8 G Har 13 JRH 1/4/2 G Har 14 JRH 2 G Har 15 JRH 1/3/4 G Har 16 JRH 1/1/3-4 G Har 17 JRH 1/3/5 G Har 18 JRH 1/4/3 G Har 19 JRH 1/4/1 Access Conditions: Access to all registered researchers. Copyright: Permission to make any published use of any material from the collection must be sought in advance in writing from the Librarian of Woodbrooke College. Identification of copyright holders of unpublished material is often difficult. Woodbrooke will assist where possible with identifying copyright owners, but responsibility for ensuring copyright clearance rests with the user of the material. Language: English Finding Aids: A paper copy of this catalogue is available from The Librarian, Woodbrooke College, 1046 Bristol Road, Birmingham. Access Status: Open Administrative History: For full biographical information, see entry for James Rendel Harris (1852- 1941) in 'Who Was Who'; FBA, 1927 and Alessandro Falcetta, 'James Rendel Harris: A Life on the Quest', Quaker Studies 8 (2004): 208-225. James Rendel Harris held many academic posts from 1882 including Professor, Johns Hopkins University, 1882-5, Haverford College, 1885-92; lecturer in palaeography, Cambridge, 1893-1903; First Principal and Director of Studies at the Friends' Settlement for Social and Religious Study, Woodbrooke College (the first Selly Oak College), 1903-1918 and Curator of Eastern Manuscripts at the John Rylands Library, Manchester, 1918-1925. He was a prolific publisher of specialist studies and devotional writings. He travelled extensively in the East in search of manuscripts, finding Syriac versions of the Apology of Aristides (1889) and the Odes of Solomon (1909). He married Helen Balkwill of Plymouth in 1880, who died in 1914. Custodial History: The provenance of the collection is unknown, but it is believed that some papers were brought to Woodbrooke College from Rendel Harris's house, 210 Bristol Road, Birmingham, after the house was bombed during the Second World War. The papers relating to Rendel Harris's Mayflower research (listed as JRH 1/1/3-1/1/6) were given to Woodbrooke by his nephew, Harold Angus, in 1976. Papers belonging to Rendel Harris's nephew, John Major (listed as JRH/3) were given to Woodbrooke by his wife in 1966. Related Material: The archives of Woodbrooke College include papers relating to College administration from 1903 onwards and personal papers of students and staff. Associated Material: Papers of James Rendel Harris and Helen Balkwill Harris (DA21), a related collection, are held at the Department of Special Collections, University of Birmingham. Haverford Quaker College holds manuscript collected by Harris and some of his personal papers. Publication Note: Some of these papers were used by Alessandro Falcetta in his 'James Rendel Harris: A Life on the Quest', Quaker Studies 8 (2004): 208-225. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Papers created by Rendel Harris ___________________________________________________________________________ Sub-fonds Ref No: JRH/1 Extent Title: Papers of James Rendel Harris Date: 1874-late twentieth century ___________________________________________________________________________ Series Ref No: JRH/1/1 Extent: 6 series Title: Press cuttings and research notes Date: 1874-1930s Description: Scrapbooks of press cuttings, notes, and correspondence relating to temperance, to archaeology, and to the history of the Pilgrim Fathers' ship, the Mayflower.

  • Between Liturgy and School: Reassessing the Performative Context of Ephrem’S Madrāšê
    Between Liturgy and School: Reassessing the Performative Context of Ephrem’s Madrāšê Jeffrey Wickes Journal of Early Christian Studies, Volume 26, Number 1, Spring 2018, pp. 25-51 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/earl.2018.0001 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/688556 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] Between Liturgy and School: Reassessing the Performative Context of Ephrem’s Madra\šê JEFFREY WICKES Ephrem the Syrian (d. 373) wrote in a variety of genres—commentaries, verse and prose homilies, and stanzaic songs, called madra\šê. The bulk of his corpus consists in madra\šê. While these works are generally assumed to have occupied a liturgical context, this assumption is based in large part on a biographical tradition that was written after Ephrem’s death, and that has come to be seen as problematic in many ways. Certain of Ephrem’s cycles do connote liturgical settings, but others lack any such clues. This paper argues for a reassessment of the performative context of Ephrem’s madra\šê. It looks, first, at the external literary witness to the liturgical performance of Ephrem’s madra\šê, and shows how the picture of Ephrem presented in the biographi- cal tradition has come to dominate our view of the madra\šâ’s performative context. It then turns to Ephrem’s madra\šê themselves, and argues that they suggest a blurred performative space between liturgy and study circle. It fleshes out this blurred performative space by examining comparative early Christian evidence for the use of songs in educational settings.

  • 'An Extremely Dangerous Book'? James Hope Moulton's Religions
    ‘A much-needed Tract for the Times’ or ‘an extremely dangerous book’? James Hope Moulton’s Religions and Religion (1913) Martin Wellings On 4 April 1917 the British passenger steamship SS City of Paris, travelling from Karachi to Liverpool, was torpedoed by a German submarine in the Gulf of Lions, and sank with considerable loss of life. Among the passengers were two eminent scholars, the Quaker James Rendel Harris and the Wesleyan Methodist James Hope Moulton. Both survived the sinking of the ship, but Moulton died of exposure three days later and was buried at sea.1 Rendel Harris wrote and published a moving account of Moulton’s heroic behaviour in the life-boat, sharing the burdens of rowing and baling, and ministering to Indian crew members.2 The incident became something of a cause célèbre, an example of ‘[t]he ruthlessness of our enemies, unrestrained by moral scruples or humane principles’.3 Paying tribute to his friend and colleague in the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library, Arthur Samuel Peake recorded the ‘tragic irony’ of the death under such circumstances of an eloquent advocate of peace and of a scholar whose international reputation in New Testament studies, built on his Grammar of New Testament Greek (1906) was signalled by plaudits from Harnack, a doctorate from the University of Berlin and a long-standing academic friendship with Adolf Deissmann.4 James Hope Moulton, however, was more than a New Testament scholar. His presence in the dangerous waters of the Mediterranean in the spring of 1917 came about through his second area of acknowledged expertise, the history and thought of Zoroastrianism, which took him to India for eighteen months’ work with the Parsee community under the auspices of the Indian YMCA.5 In his life and in his writings Moulton brought together biblical scholarship, a fascination with the evolution of religion and a passionate enthusiasm for Christian missions.

  • The Philology of the Greek Bible: Its Present and Future.1 Iv
    61 THE PHILOLOGY OF THE GREEK BIBLE: ITS PRESENT AND FUTURE.1 IV. NEW TESTAMENT PHILOLOGY. We concluded our third lecture with a short mention of the beginnings that are just being made in the exegesis of the Greek Old Testament. The exegesis of the Greek New Testament can look back upon a histbry of many centuries. The fact, however, that the New Testament as distinguished from the Greek Old Testament possesses an international exegetical literature of its own which promises. soon to attain unmanageable dimensions, is not necessarily a proof of a revival of interest in its philological investigation. The more recent commentaries, indeed, leave much to be desired from the philological point of view. How greatly the exegesis of the New Testament is able to profit by the progress of classical archaeology in the widest sense is shown by the writings of Sir William Ramsay,2 the Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans by Hans Lietz­ mann,3 the Commentary on the Gospel according to St. Matthew by Th. Zahn 4 and by W. C. Allen,6 and the Com­ mentary on the Epistles to the Thessalonians about to be published by George Milligan. 1 These lectures were delivered in the Summer School of the Free Churches, at Cambridge, in July and August, 1907. In writing them I allowed myself the use of part of an address given by me at Giessen in 1897. The lectures were translated for me by Mr. Lionel R. M. Strachan, M.A., Lector of English in the University of Heidelberg. 2 See above.

  • The Old Syriac Versions of the Gospels. a Status Quaestionis (From 1842 to the Present Day) By
    BABELAO 8 (2019), p. 141-179 © ABELAO (Belgium) The Old Syriac Versions of the Gospels. A Status Quaestionis (From 1842 to the Present Day) by Jean-Claude Haelewyck University of Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve he Old Syriac versions of the Gospels1 were transmitted by three manuscripts, namely the MSS. London, British Library, Add. 14451, Sinai, Syriac 30, and Sinai, New Finds Syriac 37 + 39. Their text is related to and precedes that of the Peshitta. T c The first version, the Curetonian (C or syr ), is named after its first editor, William Cureton; the second version, the Sinaiticus (S or syrs), after the name of the monastery where it was discovered, while S. Brock has attributed the siglum NF (New Finds) to the third version. The original French version of this article entitled “Les vieilles versions syriaques des Évangiles” appeared in J.-C. HAELEWYCK (ed.), Le Nouveau Testament en syriaque (études syriaques, 14), Paris, Geuthner, 2017, p. 67- 113. 1 In the direct tradition, no vestige of the Old Syriac version(s) has been preserved for the Acts and for the Pauline Epistles. However, there are some traces in the Patristic tradition: for the Acts, in a commentary of Ephrem († 373) known from an Armenian chain (a text close to D.05) and for Paul, from quotations of around 15 authors including Ephrem (an Armenian translation of a commentary of Paul; a text close to the Boerneria- nus). Given that the Catholic Epistles and the Apocalypse took time to occupy their place in the Syriac churches, it is natural that they left no trace in the Old Syriac versions.

  • ABSTRACT Reconsidering the Book of the Four: the Shaping of Hosea, Amos, Micah, and Zephaniah As an Early Prophetic Collection
    ABSTRACT Reconsidering the Book of the Four: The Shaping of Hosea, Amos, Micah, and Zephaniah as an Early Prophetic Collection Nicholas R. Werse, Ph.D. Mentor: James D. Nogalski, Ph.D. The hypothesis that redactors collected and edited Hosea, Amos, Micah, and Zephaniah into an exilic “Book of the Four” has gained significant momentum in redaction-critical scholarship over the last twenty years. Since its initial proposal, various reformulations of the Book of the Four hypothesis built upon the identification of Deuteronomistic editing across these four prophetic texts. The concurrent scholarly reaction against “pan-Deuteronomism” challenges the methods and criteria by which redaction critics identify Deuteronomistic editing. The precision of language emerging from the concerns over pan-Deuteronomism affects how scholars identify and label Deuteronomistic editing. This new criteria and precision of language threatens to undercut the foundation of the Book of the Four hypothesis. The following dissertation reexamines the evidence for common editorial activity spanning Hosea, Amos, Micah, and Zephaniah, arguing that the evidence fails to support a case for widespread Deuteronomistic editing across these four texts. The case that these four texts circulated as an early collection rather depends upon a series of editorially constructed intertextual echoes between these texts. The following study argues that this Book of the Four editorial activity takes place in two redactional layers. The first redactional layer includes Hos 1:1; 4:15a βb; 8:14a βb; Amos 1:1b; 2:10-12; 3:1b-2; 5:13; 6:8; 7:9-17; Mic 1:1, 5b-7, 9; 2:3; 6:9a α,b, 10-16; Zeph 1:1 1:6, 13b; 2:3.
