Notes on a Catholic Manuscript Compilation in Oxford, Bodleian Libraries MS. Rawl. 107 D
No full textBodleian Rawlinson MS 107 D is a manuscript compilation of Catholic writings including poetry, martyrology, and apologetical and recusant treatises. If the individual texts are known to scholars, the manuscript as a whole does not seem to have attracted significant interest, although contents, design and palaeographical features suggest that it was conceived as a cohesive unit

Metalinguistic labelling in Florio’s A Worlde of Words (1598)
No full textThe paper aims to contribute a historical linguistics and lexicographical perspective on John Florio as an observer of language and linguistic phenomena, informed by the rising interest in bilingual vernacular lexicography as a source for the study of the history of linguistic ideas and terminology. The contribution examines the nature of metalinguistic labelling in Florio's dictionary and its consistency, and it explores the extent to which awareness of language variation (whether regional, diastratic, diaphasic or other) in both English and Italian is displayed
The Elizabethan Secretariat and the Signet Office : the production of state papers, 1590-1596
No full textThis book investigates the work of the Elizabethan secretariat during the fascinating decade of the 1590s, when, after the death of Francis Walsingham, the place of principal secretary remained vacant for six years. Through original sources in the collections of the State Papers and Cecil Papers, this study reconstructs the activities of the clerks and secretaries who worked in close contact with the Queen at court. An estimated fifty people, many unidentified, saw to every minute detail of the production of official documents and letters in an array of offices, rooms and locations within and outside the court. The book introduces the staff of the Elizabethan writing offices as a community of shared knowledge with a privileged and constant access to papers of state, working behind the scenes of court display and high politics. While the production of the state papers is explored as a means to re-construct the functioning of the inner mechanisms of state, it also provides a lens through which to access the knowledge of the administration in a pre-bureaucratic age
Meredith Hanmer and the Elizabethan Church: A Clergyman’s Career in 16th Century England and Ireland
No full textThis is the first book-length study of the fascinating life of the clergyman and scholar of Welsh descent Meredith Hanmer (c.1545–1604). Hanmer became involved in the key scholarly controversies of his day, from the place of the Elizabethan Church in Christian history to the role of the 1581 Jesuit mission to England led by Edmund Campion and Robert Persons. As an army preacher in Ireland during the Nine Years War, Hanmer campaigned with the most acclaimed soldiers of his day. He nurtured connections with prominent intellectuals of his time and with the key figures of colonial government. His own career as a clergyman was colourful, involving bitter disputes with his parishioners and recurring aspersions on his character. Surprisingly, no study to date has centred on this intriguing character. The surviving evidence for Hanmer’s life and activities is unusually rich, comprising his published writings and a large body of under-exploited manuscript material. Drawing extensively on archival evidence scattered across a wide number of repositories, Dr. Andreani’s book contextualises Hanmer’s clerical activities and wide-ranging scholarship, elucidates his previously little understood career, and thus enriches our understanding of life, politics, and scholarship in the Elizabethan church
The pragmatics of citation in a digital corpus of early modern English prose writing
No full textCitations in contemporary writing perform a variety of functions: they supply verifiable links to sources, they help define the theoretical framework on which a specific text is grounded, and they can help outline a writer’s field or niche. Furthermore, they can provide justification for arguments, they can work as tools for supporting claims, and they can be a strategy to emphasise the relevance of specific points in a text. Yet the practice of citation has undergone changes through the centuries, so that current definitions may not adequately reflect their forms and functions in early modern textuality. Building on Ken Hyland’s model of citation in academic discourse and within the framework of historical pragmatics, the paper analyses examples of citations in a corpus of early modern texts to describe their language, forms and to detect their discursive pragmatic functions. The analysis is carried out on a digital corpus of factual prose writing (historiography) using a digital corpus manager and text analysis software (SketchEngine). The paper aims to bring out how early modern English writers would encode their relationship with sources through language: what forms of citation did they use? Could different practices of citation reflect different ideas about originality and authorship? Can we work out a pragmatics of citations to reveal something about the intellectual processes of reference, appropriation, imitation and borrowing
Two English Translations of Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical Histories: A Lexical Analysis
No full textWith over three hundred quotations, Meredith Hanmer’s translation of Eusebius' "Auncient Ecclesiastical Histories" (London, 1577, STC 10572) is one of the top 1000 sources of the Oxford English Dictionary. Hanmer was not the first translator of the Church history, however. The first five books survive in a manuscript translation by the niece of Sir Thomas More, Mary Roper Clark Basset, which has been dated between 1547 and 1553. No study of the relationship between Hanmer’s and Basset’s translations has been undertaken so far, a gap in the state of the art that this note intends to remedy starting from a comparison of their vocabulary
