THE BENEFICIAL-EFFECTS OF MEPROBAMATE ON DELAYED-RESPONSE PERFORMANCE IN THE FRONTAL MONKEY
No full text
EVIDENCE FOR DISSOCIATION OF IMPAIRMENT ON AUDITORY DISCRIMINATION AND DELAYED RESPONSE FOLLOWING LATERAL FRONTAL LESIONS IN MONKEYS
No full textStimulation of frontal cortex and delayed alternation performance in the monkey.
No full textUnilateral or bilateral stimulation of the region surrounding the sulcus principalis of the cortex of the monkey interferes with delayed alternation performance. It is without effect on auditory discrimination performance. Bilateral stimulation is more disrupting than unilateral stimulation. The impairment is limited in time to the period of stimulation and is fully reversible
A summary catalogue of Western manuscripts in the Bodleian Library at Oxford which have not hitherto been catalogued in the quarto series: with references to the Oriental and other manuscripts: Collections received before 1660 and miscellaneous MSS. acquired during the first half of the 17th Century
No full textPREFACE
The scheme of the Summary Catalogue, as set out in the Prefaces to vols. iii and v, provided that the first two volumes should contain a new edition of the Old Catalogue of 1697. This has been modified in one respect. Vol. i is reserved for a historical introduction and comparative tables of shelfmarks, and vol. ii is divided into two parts. It will also be found that the present volume is less summary than its predecessors, and that it is much more than a revision of seventeenth- century lists. Part i, here issued, covers nos. 1-3490, but of the manuscripts represented by those numbers, two-thirds (including the whole of classes i-v) are dealt with by way of cross-reference, and not more than eleven hundred are catalogued in full. Nos. 3491-8716 are reserved for part ii.
The present part catalogues miscellaneous MS. accessions of 1600-46 (classis vi), and one collection, that of John Selden (classis vii). The miscellaneous western accessions are, with hardly an exception, manuscripts now referenced as 'Bodley' or 'Auct.', and this section may therefore be regarded as a catalogue of the 'Bodley' and 'Auctarium' collections so far as they have not been already catalogued in vol. v. All the more important of the donations included in it were made between the years 1601 and 1620. The chief of them are (in order of size) those made by
The Dean and Chapter of Exeter, 1602: Latin patristic MSS., bibles, and biblical commentaries, canon law MSS., &c., from Exeter Cathedral library.
The Dean and Chapter of Windsor, 1612 : Latin patristic and minor theology, biblical commentaries, &c., from Windsor chapter library.
Sir Henry Savile, 1620: Greek patristic and miscellaneous Latin MSS.
Sir Walter Cope, 1602: medieval Latin theology, from English libraries as St. Augustine's at Canterbury.
William Burdet, 1608: medieval Latin theology, biblical commentaries, &c., in whole or part from Reading abbey.
Sir George More, 1604: medieval Latin theology and biblical exegesis, from English libraries such as Newark priory.
Thomas Twyne, 1612: medieval MSS., chiefly relating to medicine and science, some from St. Augustine's, Canterbury.
Other donors of MSS. were Thomas Allen of Gloucester hall, 1601 ; William Ballow of Christ Church (Latin theology), 1604,; William Burton (Leland's Collectanea and Itinerary), 1632; Thomas Cecil, earl of Exeter (Greek MSS.), 1618; Dr. Richard Colfe's heirs (Biblical commentaries and Latin theology from the library of Christ Church, Canterbury), 1616; sir Robert Cotton (Latin theological and a few Hebrew MSS.), 1603; Dr. William Cotton, bishop of Exeter (Latin, and some Middle English, theological MSS.), 1605; William Harwood, prebendary of Winchester (Latin theology, &c.), 1611 ; Charles Howard, earl of Nottingham (chiefly Latin biblical commentaries, for the most part from the library of King Henry VIII), 1604; sir Paul Pindar (Syriac and Arabic MSS.), 1611; sir Ralph Winwood (Greek MSS.), 1604.
It will be seen that Latin theology dominates c1assis vi. The MSS. contained in it are, for the most part, of English origin. It is almost exclusively medieval, and very few manuscripts of later date than 1500 are to be found in it, the chief exceptions being the Leland MSS. above mentioned, and two small collections of seventeenth-century University lectures, the o~e on Aristotelian philosophy, written in Spain and presented by Richard Grosvenor in 1603, the other on Thomas Aquinas, written in Portugal and given by Josias White in 1605. In this respect the present part shows a marked contrast to previous volumes.
Catholicity, however, marks the collection of the learned Selden (c1assis vii). It consists in equal measure of oriental and of western MSS.; and among the latter are Greek, Latin, Middle English, medieval French, Russian, and even Mexican manuscripts. Its variety bars one from describing it in.a phrase. Law, medieval astronomy, and Middle English poetry are among its leading features.
A rough subject-classification of the main contents of this part is here set out, following on the lines set in the prefaces to former volumes
