‎[YALE UNIVERSITY] George Patrick Goold (1922-2002), William Lampson Professor of Latin Language and Literature, Yale University‎

‎YALE UNIVERSITY Two Autographs Letter Signed 'George Goold' and 'George' to Paul Quinton Classical Department Blackwell's of Oxford; with inscribed offprint of Goold's lecture 'Richard Bentley a Tercentenary Commemoration'.‎

‎LETTERS: 30 September 1977 and 3 July 1979 both on letterhead of Yale University Department of Classics; OFFPRINT from 'Harvard Studies in Classical Philology': Cambridge Massachusetts: Harvard University Press 1963. Both letters two pages quarto. LETTER ONE annotated in ink with some ink marks in the blank space beneath Goold's signature: Written at the point at which Goold was relinquishing the University College Latin Chair to return to Yale. 'I told you I should be visiting Yale this autumn; and now I have to tell you that I shall be going on to Stanford after Christmas till March. Still if I shan't have the pleasure of coming in occassionally to the bookshop it probably means that I shall be ordering more books from you!' Orders a couple of copies of Austin's 'Aeneid'. 'To my great delight classics are thriving at Yale as also at Harvard where I went to a party a week or so ago; I don't know whether this reflects a national trend quite likely not but I'm glad to be at a place where there are so many people taking classics courses that one hasn't to worry about being sacked because of the dearth of students.' Discusses his wife's job 'we see each other only at weekends' and 'the Marshalls' 'they very kindly met us at Boston airport & contributed much to our being able to settle down so well'. 'The printers of the Loeb Classical Library of which Goold was Chief Editor continue to make the most appalling mistakes. They bound the whole of my Manilius before discovering that they had printed ASTRONMICA rather than - NOMICA on the spine! The result is that the spine will now have a costly cover-up job done on it and another two months' delay. Absolutely infuriating. I can I suppose comfort myself with the thought that this is likely to be the best £3.90 worth in Latin studies - but I've shed as much of my blood on thhe book as I care.' Asks if Blackwell's want to stock his edition of Horace's odes. LETTER TWO with negligible coffee stain: Is sorry to learn that Quinton has 'been put on half-time'. 'But I gather reading between the lines that Blackwell's is not devoid of humanity and that some special i.e. better arrangement may be possible. And it may be congenial for you to work on second-hand books exclusively'. Speculates that there are enough copies of out of print classics books 'to enable one English bookseller to do a good trade'. Places an order for three works. 'I need hardly say that I look forward to a continuation of our personal contact & promise my undiminished interest in whatever you can come up with in the second-hand book line. Discusses the complicated publishing plans for the Harvard Servius. 'I don't expect any difficulty although I anticipate being pressured into cutting back on typographical excellence.' 'I get the impression that Britain's new government is proving more popular & successful than most thought possible. Contrariwise the oil crisis has hit America hard: the other day I had to wait 2 hours in a nearly mile-long queue of cars to get my tank filled'. Discusses car dependency and the cutting out of wasteful consumption. THE OFFPRINT is of eighteen pages octavo stapled into original grey printed wraps. Very good with a trace of rust to the staples. Front wrap inscribed to 'P. Q. with best wishes from G. P. G.' LETTERS: 30 September 1977 and 3 July 1979, both on letterhead of Yale University Department of Classics; OFFPRINT (from 'Harvar paperback‎

‎In Defence of Faith, Against the Manichaeans. Critical Edition and Historical, Literary and Theological Study of the Treatise Aduersus Manichaeos, Attributed to Evodius of Uzalis‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 520 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503589954.‎

‎Summary The subject of this publication is the treatise Aduersus Manichaeos, attributed to Evodius of Uzalis. Evodius was a friend and contemporary of Augustine of Hippo. The treatise Aduersus Manichaeos is an important source on the North African Catholic church and its polemics against the Manichaeans. Although the treatise is strongly influenced by the anti-Manichaean writings of Augustine of Hippo, it also offers much original and likely authentic information on the Manichaean movement. Thus far, however, no systematic study had been conducted on this anti-Manichaean treatise attributed to Evodius. As a result, some of its historical circumstances have been shrouded in mystery. The present volume reconstructs the circumstances in which Aduersus Manichaeos was written, and studies the treatise in relation to its fifth-century North African context. The study offers a literary, historical and theological analysis of Aduersus Manichaeos. The publication also complements the study of Aduersus Manichaeos with a new critical edition of the original Latin text, with a facing English translation.‎

‎Anne Bulkeley and her Book, Fashioning Female Piety in Early Tudor England‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2009 Hardcover. XII 276 p., 6 b/w ill. 4 colour ill., 160 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Latin, Middle English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503520711.‎

‎This study is focused on BL MS Harley 494, a small manuscript book which can be dated between 1532 and 1535 and which has many of the features of a preces privatae volume, or private prayer book. It contains prayers in English and Latin but also a number of brief devotional treatises in English. MS Harley 494 possesses two more features of interest: it belonged to a Hampshire widow, Anne Bulkeley (and possibly later to her daughter Anne, a nun at Amesbury Priory); and it emerged from a Birgittine textual community. Barratt edits and annotates the complete manuscript to provide an accessible and informative edition of this little known manuscript. However, Anne Bulkeley and her Book is not a conventional edition of a late Middle English text. Rather, Barratt carefully contextualizes the manuscript within its historical background just before the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and meticulously investigates the varied, and often unusual, sources of many of the individual items in the book. In addition, the discussion encompasses several related manuscripts (principally Lambeth Palace MS 3600 and the so-called Burnet Psalter (Aberdeen University Library MS 25)). This broad focus enables the volume to examine not only the evolution of the manuscript as a whole, but also to answer wider questions of its owner?s identity, her family connections, and her (and her book?s) place in literary, cultural, and religious history.‎

‎What I want to relate here, is how one of the most remarkable thinkers of the Renaissance passed on his image for posterity. Erasmus used all the media available to him in a manner that was astonishing and unique for his times: painting, naturally, with the magnificent portraits by Holbein, engravings by Durer, the art of medallions by Metsys, but also, and this was truly revolutionary, the 'new technology' of his era: printing. The humanist constructed his image, in a most brilliant manner, through art and with his printers. A. Vanautgaerden Ce livre raconte comment l'un des plus fabuleux penseurs de la Renaissance a transmis son portrait a la posterite. D'une facon vraiment surprenante et unique a son epoque pour un humaniste, Erasme a utilise tous les medias a sa disposition ; la peinture naturellement, avec les magnifiques portraits d'Holbein, la gravure avec Durer, l'art des medailles avec Metsys, mais aussi, ce qui etait revolutionnaire, la ? nouvelle technologie ? de son temps : l'imprimerie. De facon geniale, l'humaniste a compose son image en se servant des artistes et de ses imprimeurs. L'auteur etudie en parallele les recueils epistolaires et les representations figurees de l'artiste. L'ouvrage offre en quadrichromie l'integralite de l'iconographie erasmienne desiree par l'humaniste. Dit boek vertelt hoe een van de fabelachtigste renaissancedenkers zijn beeld aan het nageslacht heeft doorgegeven. Op een voor zijn tijd verrassende en unieke manier, gebruikte Erasmus alle middelen die hem ter beschikking stonden: de schilderkunst natuurlijk, met de prachtige portretten van Holbein, de gravure van Durer, de medaillekunst van Metsys, maar ook, en dit is vrij revolutionair, de 'nieuwe technologie' van zijn tijd: de boekdrukkunst. Op een geniale manier heeft de humanist zijn beeld samengesteld, gebruik makend van de artiesten en van zijn drukkers. Languages : French, English, Dutch.‎

‎The Paper Museum ('Museo Cartaceo') is a collection of some 10,000 drawings and prints assembled during the seventeenth century by the Roman patron and collector, Cassiano dal Pozzo, and his younger brother, Carlo Antonio. It represents one of the most significant attempts before the age of photography to embrace human knowledge in visual form, documenting ancient art and culture, architecture and topography, natural history and social customs. The 160 drawings catalogued in this volume are derived from five ancient manuscripts: the famous Vatican Vergil, the so-called 'Roman' Vergil, the Vatican Terence, and the less well-known Palatine Agrimensores, all in the Vatican Library, and from a fifth codex, now lost, known as the Chronography or Calendar of the year 354. The bulk of the drawings were copied for Cassiano between 1632 and 1634 for the purpose of studying both the characters depicted and the allied evidence of ancient costume and artefacts. By the later seventeenth century, when Pietro Santi Bartoli executed the last group of drawings in the present volume for Carlo Antonio, manuscript illustrations had come to be cherished as much for their rarity as examples of ancient painting as for their documentary value. Introductory essays provide an overview of the dal Pozzo commissions, the manuscripts and their history down to Cassiano's day, as well as their study in the wider context of classical scholarship through to the eighteenth century. All the drawings are reproduced in colour at full page, with accompanying descriptions of the subjects or relevant ancient verses in modern translation and brief commentaries. Languages : English.‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2006 Hardback, XVI+360 p., 35 b/w ill. + 10 colour ill., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503516981.‎

‎Celebrating the work of Brian J. Levy in the realm of comedy and humour in the Middle Ages, this collection of twenty essays explores unusual, unexpected or unacknowledged elements of humour in medieval literature and art. Scholars from the United Kingdom, France, Italy, the USA, Denmark, and the Netherlands consider comic elements taking an unusual form; a comic presence in unexpected places; comic elements intentionally / unintentionally hidden; comic elements surprisingly vaunted; a comic presence in standard contexts which stands out for a particular reason; comic elements which are for some reason controversial; comic elements as yet unidentified or unacknowledged; a commonly acknowledged comic presence which is in fact no such thing. Essays in English and French deal with a broad range of subjects. If the Roman de Renart is particularly well represented amongst these essays, other subjects make up the majority of the book. These include: Cicero's De Oratorei; the Mannekin pis; late medieval wall paintings; German and French Drama; fabliaux; vernacular pious tales and dits; the romance epic Richard Coeur de Lyon; Les Quinze joyes de mariage; bestiaries; and misericords. Sometimes shocking, often surprising, and always intriguing, the medieval comic presence rarely corresponds to our expectations and assumptions. This book shows that in numerous cases the medieval joke is actually on the modern scholar. Languages : English, French.‎

‎This book presents new translations and introductions to all sources related to the life of St Macrina the Younger (c. 327-379). This book presents St Macrina the Younger (c. 327-379), eldest sister of Ss Basil the Great and Gregory of Nyssa. All the sources of Macrina's life are gathered together, translated afresh into English, and provided with up-to-date introductions and notes. Documents include: Testimonies of St Basil, St Gregory Nazianzen's epigrams on Macrina and her siblings; Gregory of Nyssa's letter 19 which appears in English for the first time; The Life of Macrina, a jewel of fourth-century Christian biography; and the dialogue On the Soul and Resurrection in which Macrina appears as the Teacher expounding Christian doctrine with reasoned argument. The introductory shows how Macrina gradually changed the family household of Annisa into the proto-monastic community that became model of the monasticism that has come down under Basil's name. A specially commissioned icon, a map of Central Anatolia, and a report of the author's expeditions to ancient Pontus are included. Languages : English, Greek.‎

‎This volume contains translatiuons of all of the relevant medieval sources on Mary of Oignies (1177-1213), was one of the first holy women to transform religious life in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Mary of Oignies (1177-1213) was one of the first holy women to transform religious life in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Living as a beguine and a free anchoress she guided those who came to speak with her, both high clerics and common people alike. In the oral world of medieval Christianity one disregarded her word at considerable risk. This volume contains all of the relevant medieval sources on Mary of Oignies, translated by Margot King and Hugh Feiss OSB. They include: the Life written by her confessor, James of Vitry, and the Supplement thereof by Thomas of Cantimpre; the liturgical office of her feast-day; and the 'History of the Priory of Oignies'. Also included are an introductory essay about her life and significance, written by Anneke Mulder-Bakker; a study about Mary as a 'friend to the saints' by Brenda Bolton; and the manuscript transmission of her Life, by Suzan Folkerts. The volume therefore provides a comprehensive 'companion' to Mary of Oignies and her wider significance in medieval and modern scholarship. Languages : English.‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2013 Hardback, approx. X+242 p., 2 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503542508.‎

‎The essays collected in this volume deal with the multilingual cultures of later medieval England and Wales and aim to recover the complexities of spoken and written communication in the later medieval period. This book is devoted to the study of multilingual Britain in the later medieval period, from the Norman Conquest to John Skelton. It brings together experts from different disciplines ? history, linguistics, and literature - in a joint effort to recover the complexities of spoken and written communication in the Middle Ages. Each author focuses on one specific text or text type, and demonstrates by example what careful analysis can reveal about the nature of medieval multilingualism and about medieval attitudes to the different living languages of later medieval Britain. There are chapters on charters, sermons, religious prose, glossaries, manorial records, biblical translations, chronicles, and the macaronic poetry of William Langland and John Skelton. By addressing the full range of languages spoken and written in later medieval Britain (Latin, French, Old Norse, Welsh, Cornish, English, Dutch, and Hebrew), this collection reveals the linguistic situation of the period in its true diversity and shows the resourcefulness of medieval people when faced with the need to communicate. For medieval writers and readers, the ability to move between languages opened up a wealth of possibilities: possibilities for subtle changes of register, for counterpoint, for linguistic playfulness, and, perhaps most importantly, for texts which extend a particular challenge to the reader to engage with them.
