Vagrancy in English Culture and Society, 1650-1750
No full textThe first social and cultural history of vagrancy between 1650 and 1750, this book combines sources from across England and the Atlantic world to describe the shifting and desperate experiences of the very poorest and most marginalized of people in early modernity; the outcasts, the wandering destitute, the disabled veteran, the aged labourer, the solitary pregnant woman on the road and those referred to as vagabonds and beggars are all explored in this comprehensive account of the subject. Using a rich array of archival and literary sources, Vagrancy in English Culture and Society, 1650-1750 offers a history not only of the experiences of vagrants themselves, but also of how the settled 'better sort' perceived vagrancy, how it was culturally represented in both popular and elite literature as a shadowy underworld of dissembling rogues, gypsies, and pedlars, and how these representations powerfully affected the lives of vagrants themselves

[East 130 degrees - West 50 degrees / North 50 degrees - South 60 degrees].Vincenzo Coronelli (1650-1718) was the cosmographer to the Republic of Venice in 1685, a globemaker, a Franciscan Friar and General of the Franciscan Order in 1701. He was also the founder of a Geographic society in 1680 called “Academia degli Argonauti.” He was a well-known theologian and caused a “revival of interest” in cartography in Italy (Moreland and Bannister, 72). He compiled and engraved over 500 maps and created a 2-volume atlas called “Atlante Veneto” (1690-96). He is also known for creating a pair of 15-foot diameter globes for Louis XIV of France. His other works include “Morea” (1687), “Corso Geografico Universale” (1692-4), “Epitome Cosmografica” (1693), “Isolaria” (1696-7), Miniature globs and large globes (1683-1704), “Viaggi” (1687), “Specchio del Mare” (1698), and “Signalente di Venezia” (1716) (Tooley, 132-3; Moreland and Bannister, 72).
This map was first published in Coronelli’s “Atlante Veneto” (1690-6). The shows the legendary land of Iesso north of Japan as well as the first outlines of New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand (Moreland and Bannister, 277). The map is based on explorations conducted by the Dutch East India Company in the early part of the seventeenth century. Of note, the map purports the seventeenth-century myth that California was an island (Tooley, “California as an Island,” 125).
The land of “Iesso” or “Yezo” was a land allegedly lying north of Japan. Later identified as Hokkaido, explorers in the seventeenth century were unsure of its nature. The Russians attempted to discern whether Yezo was indeed an island or part of Asia with a number of expeditions in the seventeenth century. Under the reign of Peter the Great, the explorers were able to chart Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula and the Kurile Islands. In the 1780s, a French expedition sailed between Yezo and Korea, and then, through the Kuriles (Tooley and Bricker, 130).
Jacque Le Maire (d. 1616) was a Dutch navigator who sailed with Schouten in 1615 (Tooley, 387).

The Devil's altar? : crime and the early modern public house
Full text linkWas the early modern public house really such a dangerous place, as Puritan preachers (and many historians) suggested? This article discusses offences by publicans and patrons. It argues that the evidence for crime needs to be carefully contextualised and that taverns could stabilise as well as threaten the social order
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
