[FHNR] – Research Data: Book Auction and Sale Catalogues MSCA project 789672 [FHNR] – Research Data: Book Auction and Sale Catalogues This data set captures publications by my protagonists (Johannes Braun, 1628–1708; Thomas Gale, 1636– 1702; Adriaan Reland, 1676–1718; Eusèbe Renaudot, 1646–1720) listed in 18th century English auction catalogueP. The data are taken from catalogues digitially available via Eighteenth Century Collections Online, starting in the year 1701 (first actual listing dates from 1707) and ending in 1801. All of these catalogues are given with their Gale Document Number as unique identifier. In some cases, other digitized catalogue copies have been taken into account to complete the data set. Those catalogues are given with their respective platform ID. The data have been found by performing full text searches on the complete ECCO corpus using the following formula: “Braun* OR Reland* OR Renaudot*”, broken down into portions of between 1 to 5 years per search, depending on the number of results for the respective search. These results have manually been filtered then to exclude any non-catalogue items. For each item in the resulting selection, an additional in-text search for “Gale*” was performed afterwards, as searches for “Gale*” returned too many false positives to be meaningfully processed. All results returned were manually checked for false positives, and all true positives transcribed. For each catalogue with at least one true positive, the following data were recorded: Serial number, Seller. Title [transcribed as fully as possible from the source, while leaving out book advertisements on the title page]. Place of Sale, year of print. Gale Document Number [Unique Identifier]. True positives [Page, “transcribed record”]. Any emendations are indicated by square brackets and either taken directly from ECCO or result of personal research. Manuscript additions to the printed source text are always given in square brackets like this: [ms. “transcribed addition”]. The box below presents an example. 007-A-006, Childe, Timothy. Catalogus librorum, venalium apud Timoth. Childe Ad insigne albi cervi in Comiterio D. Pauli. [London] [1720?]. Gale Document Number: CB129819760 P. 2: „Anciennes Relationes des Indes, de la Chine, &c, traduit de l'Arabe par l'Abbé Renaudot, 8.“ P. 5: „Epicteti Manuale & Cebetis Tabula cum Notis Salmasii & Relandi, 4.“ P. 7: „Herodoti Historia cum Notis Galei & Gronovii Gr. Lat. fol.“ 342 catalogues in total have been taken into account this way, divided into three series: A Series: Multiple Collections Catalogues, i.e. catalogues advertising books as stemming from more than one collection of origin, place of sale being London: 254 items. B Series: Single Collection Catalogues, i.e. catalogues advertising books as stemming from one single source collection, place of sale being London: 46 items. C Series: Multiple and Single Collections Catalogues, place of sale being not London: 42 items. Each item is tagged with a serial number followed by the series indicator and a second serial number for the place within the respective serieP. 007-A-006 thus is the seventh catalogue on the list, and the sixth catalogue in series A, that is, the sixth multiple collections catalogue with London as the place of sale.

  • Adriaan Reland and Dutch Scholarship on Islam Scholarly and Religious Visions of the Muslim Pilgrimage
    chapter 4 Adriaan Reland and Dutch Scholarship on Islam Scholarly and Religious Visions of the Muslim Pilgrimage Richard van Leeuwen The development of Dutch Oriental studies and the study of Islam was from the beginning of the seventeenth century connected with the religious debates between the Catholic Church in Rome and the various Protestant communi- ties in northern Europe. The Protestant scholars subverted the monopoly held by the Vatican on the study of Islam and its polemics against the ‘false’ faith, which was often based on incorrect presuppositions. Debates about Islam became rapidly entangled with opinions about religion in general or about Catholic doctrines and practices more specifically. In their anti-Catholic attitude the Protestant scholars even harboured some sympathy for certain aspects of Islam, although they emphasised that Muhammad should not be considered an authentic prophet. They argued for a more objective examina- tion of Islam, to be able to counter the rivalling faith more effectively. This tendency can be clearly observed in publications about Islam in the Dutch Republic in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. One may argue that the Protestant trend in Oriental studies culminated in Adriaan Reland’s famous compendium of Islamic doctrines De religione Mohammedica, which was published in 1705 and was subsequently translated into various languages. The second edition of the book, published in 1717, which was based on authentic Arabic manuscript sources, not only contained a con- cise but detailed survey of the main tenets and practices of Islam, but was also supplemented with a section in which the main European misperceptions of Islam were corrected.

  • Studies in the History of Accounting
    STUDIES ‘IN THE HISTORY OF ACCOUNTING Studies in the History of Accounting Edited on behalf of The Association of University Teachers of Accounting and the American Accounting Association by A. C. LITTLETON, Ph.D. Emeritus Professor of Accounting, University of Illinois and B. S. YAMEY, B.Com. Reader in Economics, London School of Economics and Political Science, University of London 1956 RICHARD D. IRWIN, INC. HOMEWOOD, ILLINOIS Published in the United States of America (©) 1956 by Richard D. Irwin, Inc. Published in Great Britain by Sweet & Maxwell Ltd. of 2 & 3 Chancery Lane London — Law Publishers Printed in Great Britain by The Eastern Press Ltd. of London and Reading Preface MODERN accountancy differs from most branches of professional activity in that one of its major techniques—double-entry book- keeping—goes back as far as the fourteenth, perhaps even the thirteenth, century. This technique has proved to be serviceable and effective in the changing circumstances and with the changing business requirements of over five centuries. It has also had an intellectual interest sufficient to attract the active attention down the centuries of distinguished mathematicians and scientists such as Luca Pacioli, Simon Stevin, Charles Hutton and Augustus de Morgan. It is one of the objectives of this book to iJumine some aspects of the long history of double entry. Its early origins as revealed in surviving accounting records; some of its earliest expositors, their eminence and achievements in wider fields, and their treatises on accounting; the evolution of particular practices associated with double entry; the methods of teaching double entry and the emergence of theories of accounting; the spread of the practice—these are among the subjects considered in this collection of studies.

  • The Manuscript Collection of Adriaan Reland in the University Library of Utrecht and Beyond
    Chapter 11 The Manuscript Collection of Adriaan Reland in the University Library of Utrecht and Beyond Bart Jaski When on 4 November 1700 Adriaan Reland (1676–1718) was appointed as pro- fessor of Oriental languages at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Utrecht, this was something of a break with the past. In effect, he succeeded Johannes Leusden, who had taught the sacred languages at the Faculty of Theology from 1650 until his death in 1699, and had published widely on Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic and Syriac in relation to biblical texts. Leusden had been a faithful pupil of the strict Calvinist theologian Gijsbert Voet (Voetius), who from the foundation of the university in 1636 until his death in 1676 had dominated the Faculty of Theology, and indeed the university itself. Reland had studied in Utrecht, among others Hebrew under Leusden, but had a different outlook on the relationship between theology and philosophy than his teacher, as his dissertation of 1694 already shows.1 He had acquired an interest in the Arabic language, stimulated by his fellow student Heinrich Sike (Sikius), who had come from Bremen to study in Leiden and later worked in Utrecht.2 In subsequent disputations and in his oration of 1701 Reland would argue for the use of the knowledge of Oriental languages—in particular Arabic and Persian—for the study of Christian theology and its defence against Islam.3 He names those who had already reaped the fruits of this study, includ- ing Joseph Justus Scaliger (1540–1609), Thomas Erpenius (1584–1624), Jacobus Golius (1596–1667), who had all lectured in Leiden, and Johann Heinrich Hottinger (1620–1667), who died before he could do so.4 1 Reland, Disputatio philosophica inauguralis, De libertate philosophandi (1694); see further Van Amersfoort, Liever Turks dan Paaps?, pp.

  • Changing Indonesian Sea Names Ferjan Ormeling Utrecht University
    Changing Indonesian Sea Names Ferjan Ormeling Utrecht University Introduction Foreign influence on Indonesian toponymy is negligible. Names that are demonstra- bly of foreign origin are only a handful. Examples are the names Flores, Enggano and Rondo, which are of Portuguese origin; some names of mountain ranges in the interior of Borneo still show the influence of German explorers. The names of two prominent cities, Batavia and Buitenzorg, were decolonised and changed into Jakarta and Bogor (Batavia referred to the Batavi, a Germanic tribe living in the Netherlands in Roman times; Buitenzorg is the Dutch equivalent of the French name Sanssoucis). But, overall, the namescape in Indonesia is an Indonesian one. Underneath the layer of Indonesian names, however, there are still foreign influences, masked because they have been translated into Bahasa Indonesia (the Indonesian language), or because Indonesian names were used by foreigners. As far as I have been able to assess there was no indigenous tradition in naming specific water bodies, apart from the South Sea (Samudra Kidul or Laut Kidul) and the naming of Indonesian seas thus was due to foreign or colonial intervention. Sources My sources in finding out the chronology of this sea naming process have been maps and charts, geographical descriptions and pilots or nautical guides as available through Google Books. No Indonesian literature could be found on the subject. I have studied old printed maps of Southeast Asia, in order to find out when specific names were first used, and also manuscript maps: a recent source (2010) is the book Sailing for the East, by Schilder and Kok from the Explokart Research Group at Utrecht University, which presents an overview of all the manuscript charts on vellum produced for the Dutch East India Company (VOC).
