Title: Een biografie van de Bibliotheca Vossiana Issue Date: 2020-06-25 Nawoord Gedeelde passie in boekhistorisch onderzoek is dubbele vreugd. 161 Ik ben een dankbaar mens met een lijst van meer dan 150 vakgenoten die n mij op een of andere manier enorm geholpen hebben met mijn onderzoek of awoord met wie ik op enig moment in de afgelopen jaren kennis over de Bibliotheca Vossiana heb kunnen delen. Maar als ik terugkijk voel ik tegelijkertijd enige schaamte en droefheid dat ik er zo lang over gedaan heb, dat hele dierbare col- lega’s die een wezenlijke bijdrage aan mijn vorming in de boek- en bibliotheek- geschiedenis hebben geleverd de afronding van dit proefschrift niet hebben kunnen meemaken. Ronald Breugelmans (1943–2010), conservator Westerse Gedrukte Werken in de Leidse universiteitsbibliotheek, heeft mij na een stroef begin met grote hartelijkheid op de weg naar de Bibliotheca Vossiana begeleid. Zijn aanbeve- ling heeft geholpen bij mijn sollicitatie naar de functie van vakreferent Boek- en bibliotheekgeschiedenis in de Universiteitsbibliotheek van Amsterdam. Kees Gnirrep (1940–2014), conservator Zeldzame en Kostbare Werken in de UB Amsterdam, heeft mij na enige aarzeling de baan gegund waar ik tien jaar op gewacht heb. Ik was een autodidact in de boekwetenschap toen ik de Ita- liaanse zestiende-eeuwse boeken uit de Bibliotheca Vossiana beschreef. Op de afdeling ZKW kreeg ik gedurende twee jaar dagelijks praktijkcolleges in de wereld van het oude boek. Beide mentoren hebben in mijn kennis en vaardig- heid geloofd en ik ben blij dat ik hun vertrouwen niet beschaamd heb. Ik ben geboren in een stabiel gezin van vijf dochters met liefhebbende ou- ders. Hoewel mijn opvoeding misschien strenger was dan gebruikelijk in de periode waarin ik opgroeide, ben ik mijn ouders onder veel meer dankbaar voor de vrijheid van studiekeuze die ze mij gegund hebben en de belangrijke karaktereigenschap die ze aan mij hebben doorgegeven: wij geven niet gauw op. Mijn liefste van meer dan veertig jaar dank ik voor het onuitsprekelijke ge- duld dat hij met mij heeft gehad en nog steeds heeft. Ik had hem hiervoor niet gewaarschuwd.

Introduction During several centuries a wide belt in the middle of Europe, from Denmark to Sicily, was divided into a mol- titude of small self-governing states. Two high authori- ties - the Pope and the Emperor - ruled over them from a distance. Germany and Italy, today’s major states in this region, achieved national unity in the second half of 19th century (Italy in 1861, Germany in 1870), much later than Spain, France, United Kingdom, or Russia. This fragmentation of Italy stimulated the appetite of greater powers and attracted foreign conquerors. As a result, through the 16th and 17th centuries the number of the separate states in Italy was dramatically reduced. The smaller (and weaker) ones were rubbed off the map so that around 1700 there were about 20 of them left in Italy while in Germany there were 300 or 400.

    CHRISTINE VAN RUYMBEKE (UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE) MURDER IN THE FOREST: CELEBRATING REWRITINGS AND MISREADINGS OF THE KALILA-DIMNA TALE OF THE LION AND THE HARE * SUMMARY This paper considers rewritings and translations of a key-episode within the cycle of fables known as the Kalila-Dimna in several innovative ways. First, by considering the ways in which this episode has been rewritten throughout the centuries, the essay takes a stand radically opposed to the prevalent scholarship around the fables, which consists in rating WKHUHZULWLQJVIRUWKHLUIDLWKIXOQHVVWRWKHVRXUFHWH[W V 7KHSUHVHQWDSSURDFK³FHOHEUDWHV´ the misreadings and rewritings for the insights they give us into the mechanisms of the tale. Second, by analysing the episode as a weighty lesson in domestic politics, showing the fatal mistakes that can build up to regicide, the essay also aims at re-introducing an awareness of the contents of the fables as a very effective and unusual mirror for princes. Keywords: Kalila-Dimna; fables; Pancatantra; rewritings; misreadings; regicide; mirror for princes.

  • Renaissance & Baroque Medals & Plaquettes
    THE SALTON COLLECTION RENAISSANCE & BAROQUE MEDALS & PLAQUETTES BOWDOIN COLLEGE MUSEUM OF ART MCMLXIX Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2015 https://archive.org/details/saltoncollectionOObowd_0 THE SALTON COLLECTION THE SALTON COLLECTION RENAISSANCE & BAROQUE MEDALS & PLAQUETTES BOWDOIN COLLEGE MUSEUM OF ART BRUNSWICK, MAINE MCMLXIX COPYRIGHT 1965 THE PRESIDENT & TRUSTEES OF BOWDOIN COLLEGE, BRUNSWICK, MAINE REVISED EDITION, I969 LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CARD NO. 74-7725I PREFACE Few artifacts of any age have come down to us charged with the meaning of so many facets of their time as the Renaissance medal. Though relatively diminutive in size, they embody to an exceptional degree that fusion of art and thought which is one of the chief glories of the Renais- sance. Indeed, in their beauty and their learning, these medals are a reflection in microcosm of the civilization which produced them. They represent a world which celebrated not only princes and prelates but poets and scholars as well, and they have been preserved down through the years by those who have cherished them as enduring expressions of the Humanistic tradition. ^ The present collection, one of the finest of its kind in private hands, belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Mark Salton of New York. The Salton Collection is particularly distinguished for the extremely high level of quality of the specimens in it; many of them, indeed, have come from the illustrious collections of the past. No fewer than seventeen examples are unique. While the origins of the Salton Collection date from before World War II, most of the pieces it now contains were col- lected since that time.
