Ein Dienst der ETH-Bibliothek ETH Zürich, Rämistrasse 101, 8092 Zürich, Schweiz, www.library.ethz.ch http://www.e-periodica.ch — 6i — Invités par le président de la section dunkerquoise du « Comité flamand de France », les amis du Merghelynck se rendirent très nombreux le dimanche 17 septembre dans une autre châtellenie de la Flandre maritime, à Bourbourg. Ils y furent cordialement accueillis par la municipalité; et l'histoire de Bourbourg et de Watten, ainsi que le souvenir de l'historien Henri Cochin, y furent tour à tour évoqués par le Bâtonnier Moreel, Mgr Dupont et M. van Renynghe de Voxvrie. Après le déjeuner, les participants admirèrent la restauration de l'église de Bourbourg, visitèrent les restes de l'ancien château du seigneur de Bourbourg et le château de la famille Cochin, où en 14-18 résidèrent S.M. le roi Albert et le comte de Broqueville, et où ceux-ci eurent des pourparlers historiques avec le marquis de Villalobar et le prince Sixte de Bourbon-Parme. Ce furent ensuite les églises de Saint-Pierrebrouck et Cappellebrouck, et le site admirable de l'ancienne abbaye de Watten. Découverte d'une contrée charmante et vraiment inconnue. Enfin le programme se termina par la célèbre Fête des Louches le dimanche 8 octobre à Comines. Cette année un grand cortège historique commémorait la vie de Philippe de Comines à l'occasion du 450e anniversaire du décès de ce célèbre chroniqueur. Les manifestations comi- noises de cette année furent ouvertes le 27 avril par une conférence donnée à Comines-France par M. van Renynghe qui, avec M. Maurice Schumann et M. André Castelot, faisait partie du Comité d'honneur de ces fêtes commémoratives. Dans le cortège du 8 octobre figuraient notamment un groupe envoyé par la ville de Florence, pour rappeler les missions diplomatiques de Comines en Italie; une délégation de la ville poitevine d'Argenton, dont Comines fut seigneur; et une musique militaire américaine, qui ouvrait la partie du cortège, soulignant les liens qui unissent le passé au présent. C'est cette continuité historique qui fut évoquée par M. Maurice Schumann, au cours d'une brillante allocution prononcée lors de la réception des nombreux invités belges et français à la mairie de Comines-France. Toutes ces manifestations, ces journées commémoratives, créent un vif courant de sympathie à l'égard du Musée Merghelynck et de l'Association des amis de ce musée. Il faudrait que tout le long de la frontière cet exemple soit suivi, et que des liens fréquents et amicaux s'établissent ainsi entre amis de l'art et de l'histoire des deux côtés d'une frontière qui tend de plus en plus à ne devenir qu'un signe politique. C'est par cette collaboration que, modestement mais efficacement, il est permis de collaborer à la formation d'un véritable esprit européen, fait de sympathie et d'amitié et non de calculs politiques ou économiques.

Communication. — L'Assemblée générale 1962 aura lieu à Lausanne les 28 et 29 avril. Mitteilung. — Die Jahresversammlung 1962 wird in Lausanne den 28. und 29. April stattfinden. + Dr. jur. Wilhelm Alfred Münch, seit 1912 Mitglied unserer Gesellschaft ist am 7. August 1961 an den Folgen eines Verkehrsunfalls in Basel gestorben. Aus altem Basler Geschlecht stammend, wurde er als Sohn eines Arztes am 22. November 1885 in Brestenberg geboren. Der junge Student der Rechte bekundete bereits grosses Interesse an den historischen Wissenschaften, das ihn bewog, unter Andreas Heusler mit einer rechtshistorischen Arbeit zu promovieren. Neben seiner angestrengten Berufsarbeit als Staatsanwalt (1932-1951) fand er Musse, sich zeitlebens eingehend und erfolgreich mit Genealogie und Heraldik zu beschäftigen ; die Zeit seines Ruhestandes war erfüllt von dieser Tätigkeit. Zahlreiche Publikationen geben Zeugnis von seinen ausgezeichneten Studien und Forschungen auf dem Gebiet der mittelalterlichen Adelsgenealogie. Wer das Glück hatte, hierin mit Wilhelm Münch Probleme zu diskutieren, lernte sein umfassendes, mit scharfsinniger Kritik verbundenes Wissen und seine Hilfsbereitschaft in Forschungsfragen hochschätzen. Als Jurist fesselten ihn die Rechtsfragen in der Heraldik, worüber er einen grundlegenden Aufsatz veröffentlichte. Unserer Gesellschaft hat er im Ausschuss für praktische Heraldik grosse und hingebende Arbeit zur Klärung der so umstrittenen Auffassungen in der Führung von Familienwappen geleistet. — 62 — Schmerzlich wird man an zukünftigen Jahresversammlungen die hochragende Gestalt Dr. Münchs vermissen, die durch 50 Jahre kaum je an einer Tagung fehlte und noch im vergangenen Mai in Baden in voller Lebenskraft zugegen war. Das Andenken an den Verewigten wird in unsern Reihen ein bleibendes und dankbares sein. Albert Bodmer.

Presiede la riunione il Vicepresidente Marchese Riccardo Mazzacara di Celenza, assistito da tutto il Consiglio direttivo, il quale comunica che il Présidente, Principe Carlo Lodovico Gonzaga di Vescovato, è stato impedito all'ultimo momento di pre- senziare alla solenne riunione per sopravvenute gravi circostanze che hanno richiesto la sua presenza nel Veneto; legge un vibrante telegramma di adesione di Sua Altezza Serenissima il Principe Gonzaga che formula i migliori voti per la riuscita délia manifestazione alla quale si dichiara présente in ispirito. Dà quindi la parola a S.A. il Principe Carlo Mistruzzi di Frisinga che pronunzia il discorso ufficiale. Con elevate parole l'oratore ricorda i primi aneliti di libertà e indipendenza nazionale sorti con l'epopea napoleonica che porto all'incoronazione del grande Corso con la ferrea corona che fu dei primi Re d'Italia nel lontano Medioevo. La grande e gene- rosa idea si nutri délia fiamma accesa che reazioni violente di principi non riusci a spegnere. Le oppressioni e i patiboli non furono che di incentivo alla lotta contro l'eterno barbaro, sfociata nell'epopea risorgimentale, nella guerra vittoriosa, nell'insurrezione del popolo italiano, che porto sul trono d'Italia una delle più antiche dinastie italiane, discesa dalle vette alpine per riunire tante città e tante glorie italiane disperse nei secoli. « Esattamente cento anni or sono », conchiude l'oratore, «nel fatidico 17 marzo 1861, il Parlamento italiano, con entusiastico con- senso, con voto unanime, offriva la corona d'Italia al Re Vittorio Emanuele II. Il fato si era compiuto, il sogno diveniva realtà! Con la proclamazione del Regno sorgeva l'Italia una, non più fredda espressione geografica ma libera nazione ». Il Présidente dell'Assemblea ringrazia l'oratore per la magnifica conferenza, che ha ri- scosso unanimi applausi, e comunica che conformemente alla deliberazione adottata dal

  • “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil”
    “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil” English Identity and the Law of Arms in Early Modern England Claire Renée Kennedy A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History and Philosophy of Science University of Sydney 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My greatest thanks and appreciation to Ofer Gal, who supervised my PhD with constant interest, insightfulness and support. This thesis owes so much to his helpful conversation and encouraging supervision and guidance. I have benefitted immensely from the suggestions and criticisms of my examiners, John Sutton, Nick Wilding, and Anthony Grafton, to whom I owe a particular debt. Grafton’s suggestion during the very early stages of my candidature that the quarrel between William Camden and Ralph Brooke might provide a promising avenue for research provided much inspiration for the larger project. I am greatly indebted to the staff in the Unit for History and Philosophy of Science: in particular, Hans Pols for his unwavering support and encouragement; Daniela Helbig, for providing some much-needed motivation during the home-stretch; and Debbie Castle, for her encouraging and reassuring presence. I have benefitted immensely from conversations with friends, in and outside the Unit for HPS. This includes, (but is not limited to): Megan Baumhammer, Sahar Tavakoli, Ian Lawson, Nick Bozic, Gemma Lucy Smart, Georg Repnikov, Anson Fehross, Caitrin Donovan, Stefan Gawronski, Angus Cornwell, Brenda Rosales and Carrie Hardie. My particular thanks to Kathryn Ticehurst and Laura Sumrall, for their willingness to read drafts, to listen, and to help me clarify my thoughts and ideas. My thanks also to the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, University College London, and the History of Science Program, Princeton University, where I benefitted from spending time as a visiting research student.

    Radcliffean Romance Jacqueline Howard 1 Topic One: On some 'Radcliffe' genealogies November 2000 William Radcliffe---Rouge Croix? À propos Rictor Norton's amazing Mistress of Udolpho, a query regarding the identity of Ann Radcliffe's husband, William Radcliffe: W. L Renwick, in his English Literature 1789-1815 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1963) pp. 85-6, writes of Gaston de Blondeville: ‘This was written to amuse her husband, now Rouge Croix Pursuivant in the College of Heralds and Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries …’. Bonamy Dobrée, in his introduction to his 1966 edition of Udolpho, also mentions these distinctions, as well as William’s proprietorship of the English Chronicle. Although Norton alludes to William's ‘antiquarian’ interests in his chapter on Gaston, he doesn't mention the Rouge Croix – not even to dismiss it out of hand as erroneous, as he does with the 'farago of nonsense' that William had given up his employment in the British Embassy in Italy to enter journalism. There's no mention of the Rouge Croix & Society of Antiquaries in Robert Miles' The Great Enchantress either, or in Deborah Rogers' books on Radcliffe. Why has reference to these alleged offices held by William apparently disappeared into oblivion? January 2001 William Radcliffe Rouge Croix – a horrid mystery? A report of William Radcliffe's initial appointment by King George III to the office of Rouge Croix appears in Cobbett's Weekly Political Register, Vol. III, No. 22, Sat. June 4. 1803, p. 861, as having been announced at Whitehall on May 12. This Radcliffe is said to be 'of Barnsley in the County of York'.

    9 『英米文化』46, 9–22 (2016) ISSN: 0917–3536 An Unusual Moment in Book History: Text and Image in the Works of Francis Sandford1 TAKANO Michiyo Abstract This study aims to situate Francis Sandford’s works in the context of English book his- tory. In particular, I seek to discover the unusualness embodied in these books, with special attention to A Genealogical History of the Kings of England, and Monarchs of Great Britain (1677). Sandford established trusting relationships with his kings, and the books he pub- lished during his service as a herald were for and about the royal family. Although this study is mainly concerned with the Genealogical History, the backgrounds and circumstances of the other works need to be discussed as well, given the lack of sufficient studies. In particu- lar, the integration of text and illustration is an area of great interest in Sandford’s books. Therefore, this study also examines the print culture of seventeenth-century England, as well as the engravers and etchers of that time. Introduction The herald and genealogist Francis Sandford (1630–94) published four books, all of which concern the royal family. These books reflect Sandford’s diligent research on his sub- jects, and with their fine, abundant illustrations they have great significance for early mod- ern book history. There is relatively little information about Sandford. Perhaps the most reliable biographi- cal source is Anthony Wood’s Fasti Oxonienses (1691). Wood briefly describes Sandford’s early life, his promotion to herald after the Restoration, and his publications. However, Wood was not particularly knowledgeable about Sandford’s life at the time of writing, only mentioning that Sandford lived in or near Bloomsbury around 1691.

  • The Use of Heraldry in Medieval Genealogy
    -462- HERALDRY IN MEDIEVAL GENEALOGY 1 THE USE OF HERALDRY IN ENGLISH MEDIEVAL GENEALOGY by Jeremy Goldsmith2 ABSTRACT Heraldry, the study of coats of arms, can be of assistance to the medieval genealogist. The major sources of seals, rolls of arms, and sepulchral monuments are here considered, with reference to their use in corroborating the genealogical evidence disclosed by conventional documents. Foundations (2010) 3 (5): 462-470 © Copyright FMG and the author In the Middle Ages literacy was a gradually emerging phenomenon and, in England at least, grew out of bureaucracy.3 Only over time were documents produced in large quantities with a high level of personal detail. Consequently, research in the field of medieval genealogy is particularly difficult; the situation is made worse by the wide dispersal and patchy survival of historical records, compared with the centralised record keeping of later periods. Heraldry is a tool that can be used to corroborate findings in the attempt to reconstruct medieval families. The use of coats of arms was at its height in this period, a very real and practical means of identification when levels of literacy were still relatively low. However, many historians do not have a clear understanding of how heraldry operated as a visual language, how it was administered, and what sources may be consulted to uncover such evidence. For the avoidance of doubt, this paper will address English heraldry; different systems operated in other parts of the British Isles and in Europe. The sources described will not be exhaustive, comprising the major types that may be encountered: seals, rolls of arms, and tombs.
