Re: The Magdalen Manuscript Pdf

[Clotilde Wilks]

Comfort and Barret "tend to claim an earlier date for many manuscripts included in their volume than might be allowed by other palaeographers."[7] The Novum Testamentum Graece, a standard reference for the Greek witnesses, lists ?4 and ?64/67 separately, giving the former a date of the 3rd century, while the latter is assigned c. 200.[8] Charlesworth has concluded 'that ?64+67 and ?4, though written by the same scribe, are not from the same ... codex.'[9] The most recent and thorough palaeographic assessment of the papyrus concluded that "until further evidence is forthcoming perhaps a date from mid-II to mid-IV should be assigned to the codex."[10]

George Herbert's "Holy Patterns": Reforming Individuals in Community Jeffrey Powers-Beck

Greg Miller , George Herbert's "Holy Patterns": Reforming Individuals in Community. New York: Continuum, 2007. 174 pp. $115.00 cloth. Greg Miller's George Herbert's "Holy Patterns" treats various topics in George Herbert's life, social networks, poetry, and other writings. The topics include Herbert's Latin poems for his mother in Memoriae Matris Sacrum; the art and symbolism of the Herbert family tomb in St. Nicholas Church in Montgomery, Wales; the Williams manuscript of Herbert's poetry and its connections to the Ferrar family's circulation of coterie manuscripts; the religious themes of The Winding Sheet, a Little Gidding dialogue, and its affinity to Herbert's mixture of providential and prudential thinking; the poet's long and close relations with Francis Lord Bacon, and their similar concepts of truth, disinterestedness, and friendship; Herbert's imaginative response to Judaism in his poetry; and the "poetics of unending conversion" that preserves the individual poetic voice within the communal framework of the lyrics of The Temple. Reciting this list makes the book sound like a collection of assorted essays from a group of Herbert scholars, but it is instead the work of a single author, a literary historian straining to bring these scattered tesserae together into a mosaic of the poet's social but individual art.

The third and fourth chapters examine Herbert's connections with the Ferrars and the Little Gidding community. In chapter three, noting that the poet and the Ferrars shared an interest in the Virginia Company, Miller posits that Herbert assembled the Williams manuscript for a coterie audience, a small circle like Little Gidding. Miller describes this special audience for the Williams manuscript as neither "fully public or private," but as a careful group of like-minded friends and family (p. 43). He goes on to suggest that the Williams manuscript is a better indicator of Herbert's intentions for coterie transmission than the Bodleian manuscript, and that a now-lost text with similarities to the William manuscript was behind the 1633 printing of The Temple at Cambridge. While Miller admits that this is speculation, he does assemble convincing evidence that the Williams manuscript presents "a glimpse of a poet sharing the process of transformation with a community through...

A copy preserved in the Bodleian Library (Crynes 701) has auction prices recorded in the margins. Lot 674 (p 217), which fetched 10s from an unknown buyer, was a folio-sized manuscript of tragedies by Charles Bernard's ancestor, Samuel Bernard, containing:

A second item, lot 925 (p 218) which fetched 2s, was a quarto-sized manuscript containing three tragedies and other poetical works by 'Sarmueli Bernardi': since the plays are not named, it is uncertain whether or not these were the same three plays. Neither volume has been traced.

Two original features of this book should be singled out: its use of sermon literature and of visual images. Jansen exposes the potential of sermons as a mirror for society's religious, social, and cultural aspirations, demonstrating how sermon literature could be used effectively in order to illuminate cultural issues. She uses a variety of unpublished sermons, exposing their content for the first time. A special merit of this book is its employment of diverse visual sources, such as fresco cycles, altarpieces, panel and predella paintings, and manuscript illuminations. Jansen was able to trace some rather obscure images that portray the Magdalen in an unexpected manner, and she has combined them with works by more celebrated artists such as Giotto and Botticelli. A case in point is the choice of the fresco "Mary Magdalen with Bishop Teobaldo Pontano" for the handsome and attractive cover page. This fresco effectively demonstrates the centrality of the colossal figure of Magdalen, the humble position and diminished size of the Bishop, and the imitatio Magdalen discussed in the book. It is one example of Jansen's unusual sensitivity and clever usage of art.

N2 - The activity of Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872) in collecting manuscripts from Latin America and in publishing Juan de Tovar's 'Historia de los indios mexicanos' is studied in the context of his private correspondence. The impact of his Middle Hill Press edition of Juan de Tovar's text on Mesoamerican studies in the second half of the nineteenth century is examined. The study contains as an Appendix a detailed bibliographical description of the incomplete Middle Hill Press edition of Tovar's text.

Historical documents relating to the university, colleges and town of Cambridge, to Cambridgeshire, and to the diocese of Ely, chiefly copied from the manuscripts of Thomas Baker (1656-1740), in seven volumes.

A faint pencil note on the flyleaf of vol. 1 reads: 'These 7 volumes folio I bought at Dr Webb's (Master of Clare Hall) sale for 10 . Much competition for them. J. Hailstone.' William Webb (1775-1856) was Master of Clare 1815-56. John Hailstone (d. 1871) was a graduate of Trinity and an antiquary and archaeologist. These manuscripts were at one time acquired by Robert Forsyth Scott (1849-1933), Master of St John's, whose widow, Jenny gave them to the Library in 1934 (book label).
