The Mediterranean: What, Why, And How, Richard Clement
The Mediterranean: What, Why, And How, Richard Clement
Richard W. Clement
Many of us who study the Mediterranean have been confronted with surprise and even disbelief that such a subject could be considered a legitimate field of study. Yet we all accept the traditional “area studies” concentrations in Latin America, the Slavic countries, the Middle East, and East Asia, among others. Why, then, is there so much resistance to the idea of Mediterranean Studies? Perhaps the fact that it is a sea and not a contained landmass, or that it represents disparate cultures, makes it seem different and less appropriate as an individual field of study. But clearly, there is a …
Italian Sixteenth-Century Writing Books And The Scribal Reality Of Verona, Richard Clement
Italian Sixteenth-Century Writing Books And The Scribal Reality Of Verona, Richard Clement
Richard W. Clement
The sixteenth-century copybooks of the Italian writing masters have long been considered to be reflections of the contemporary scribal condition. The impression one gains from reading the works of Arrighi, Taglienti, Palatino, and Cresci, among others, is that cancellaresca was the dominant notarial script of the first half of the century, that cancellaresca formata, developed by Palatino at mid-century, supplanted it, and that Cresci's cancellaresca corsiva reigned supreme at the end. In fact, if we consider the manuscript evidence, specifically the Rosenthal Collection of North Italian Documents at the University of Chicago, we find a very different reality. In sixteenth-century …
An Analysis On Non-Finite Verb Forms As An Indication Of The Style Of Translation In Bede's Ecclesiastical History, Richard Clement
An Analysis On Non-Finite Verb Forms As An Indication Of The Style Of Translation In Bede's Ecclesiastical History, Richard Clement
Richard W. Clement
Non-finite verb forms are ideal as indicators of a translator's ability and style of translating Latin into OE. (1) This is because in Latin there are six different infinitives: the present active infinitive, the present passive infinitive, the perfect active infinitive, the perfect passive infinitive, the future active infinitive, and the future passive infinitive. However, in OE there is only one infinitive: the present active infinitive. In Latin there are four different participles: the present active imperfect participle, the present passive perfective participle, the future active imperfective participle, and the future passive imperfective participle (gerundive). The gerund is the neuter …

The Production Of The Pastoral Care: King Alfred And His Helpers, Richard Clement
The Production Of The Pastoral Care: King Alfred And His Helpers, Richard Clement
Richard W. Clement
Old English prose before the late tenth century is examined in this collection of hitherto unpublished essays. Using a variety of techniques, the authors explore well-known and lesser-known texts in search of a better understanding of why, how, and by whom the manuscripts were produced. Part I of the collection contains six studies of Alfredian prose--the Soliloquies, the Pastoral Care, and Consolation of Philosophy--all of which are translations traditionally associated with King Alfred. Part II contains nine essays on various prose works outside of the Alfredian milieu, including the Old English Dialogues, the Old English Bede, the Chronicle and Laws, …

Richard Verstegan's Reinvention Of Anglo-Saxon England: A Contribution From The Continent, Richard Clement
Richard Verstegan's Reinvention Of Anglo-Saxon England: A Contribution From The Continent, Richard Clement
Richard W. Clement
The reinvention of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance is an historicized approach to constructions of the past. How and why does the present of any period uses the past to promote its own opinions, beliefs, doctrines or views? In particular, this volume demonstrates that reinventions of past eras or figures can be motivated by a nationalistic desire to create cultural 'roots', to discover origins that justify a regime or group's self-identity, to appropriate a cultural icon or neglected author for a particular political agenda, or to reflect on contemporary social issues via a remote time and place. Reworkings or …

Library And University Press Integration: A New Vision For University Publishing, Richard Clement
Library And University Press Integration: A New Vision For University Publishing, Richard Clement
Richard W. Clement
American university presses are struggling to maintain their core mission to publish scholarly monographs. Several presses have closed and almost all are struggling. Presses have tried various editorial tactics and new publishing strategies to keep afloat, but the larger economic situation has continued to erode their ability to succeed. In the face of what appears to be insurmountable impediments, some university presses have turned to university libraries as natural partners in the enterprise of distributing scholarship and research. Though these two entities have differing business models, partnerships have much to offer each, and integrating the press into the library organization …
Recapturing The Essence Of The Past: Integrating The University Press Into The Library, Richard Clement
Recapturing The Essence Of The Past: Integrating The University Press Into The Library, Richard Clement
Richard W. Clement
The original role of a press in a research university was to publish and disseminate the research and scholarship of the faculty. The university was willing to undertake a significant level of subsidy because the press was seen as fulfilling a central part of the mission of a research university. In the second half of the twentieth century, many faculty began to be concerned that to publish with one’s own university’s press might be considered a conflict of interest. An unforeseen consequence of this was that a university press was no longer seen as fulfilling a university’s specific mission to …
Cataloging Medieval And Renaissance Manuscripts: A Review Article, Richard Clement
Cataloging Medieval And Renaissance Manuscripts: A Review Article, Richard Clement
Richard W. Clement
Until recently it could have been argued with much justification that the cataloging of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts in the United States began and ended with Seymour De Ricci's Census of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the United States and Canada (New York: H. W. Wilson, 1935-40) and Supplement (New York: Bibliographical Society of America, 1962). Of course, many excellent catalogs were produced before the Census and have been produced since (although most are of a specialized nature), yet the Census and its Supplement must be regarded as the one great landmark in cataloging in this country. It was the …
Thomas James' Ecloga Oxonio-Cantabrigiensis: An Early Printed Union Catalog, Richard Clement
Thomas James' Ecloga Oxonio-Cantabrigiensis: An Early Printed Union Catalog, Richard Clement
Richard W. Clement
Thomas James (1572-1629), first Keeper of the Bodleian Library at Oxford, produced the first printed union catalog of manuscripts. The Ecloga Oxonio-Cantabrigiensis (1600) covers the manuscript holdings of the colleges of the two universities at Oxford and Cambridge. James's methods in dealing systematically with each codex are illustrated by comparing the Ecloga with the 1589 shelflist of Corpus Christi Oxford, and with the 1574/75 register of Matthew Parker's library at Corpus Christi Cambridge. The elements of the Ecloga main entries are analyzed and discussed, as are the indices that provided the necessary access points to the collections.
Librarianship And Polemics: The Career Of Thomas James (1572-1629), Richard Clement
Librarianship And Polemics: The Career Of Thomas James (1572-1629), Richard Clement
Richard W. Clement
Thomas James is well known as the first librarian of the Bodleian Library at Oxford, and the correspondence from Sir Thomas Bodley to James is justly celebrated in what it tells us of the details of library management in this period. Unfortunately, modern library historians have tended to look at James only as a librarian and have ignored or dismissed his scholarly and polemical works and activities. Yet James's librarianship was part of polemical scholarship, as indeed was the foundation of the Bodleian Library itself. If we are to understand the nature of librarianship in England in the early seventeenth …
King Alfred And The Latin Manuscripts Of Gregory's Regula Pastoralis, Richard Clement
King Alfred And The Latin Manuscripts Of Gregory's Regula Pastoralis, Richard Clement
Richard W. Clement
King Alfred's translation of Pope Gregory the Great's 'Liber Regulae Pastoralis' has long been recognized by students of Anglo-Saxon literature as one of the earliest and greatest monuments of Old English prose. Alfred's first translation, commonly referred to as the 'Pastoral Care,' has been the focus of much scholarly attention by historians, philologists, and literary critics. Historians have seized upon the work more for Alfred's two prefaces and what they tell us of Ninth-century England than for the translation itself, but nonetheless the mode of translation is not without its biographical and historical implications. Philologists on the other hand have …
The Frontier In Books, Richard Clement
The Frontier In Books, Richard Clement
Richard W. Clement
Unique among contemporary Western nations, the American national identity was created from present and living memory, unlike the English modern national identity, which was created out of distant memories from an era many centuries past. The English visions, which hearkened back to Anglo-Saxon England and the mythical Arthurian realms, were mediated by a small group of scholars who alone could understand the ancient languages. The books those scholars wrote were then read by a narrow circle of educated people who reinterpreted the ancient histories and myths for the general public, and in time the sense of what medieval England had …

Medieval And Renaissance Book Production, Richard Clement
Medieval And Renaissance Book Production, Richard Clement
Richard W. Clement
There is a widely held, yet erroneous, belief that the invention of the book was concurrent with the invention of printing. Somehow it is assumed that the act of printing--that is producing a book by mechanical means--endows the finished product with that essence that embodies a book. After all, the hand-produced book is called a manuscript, not simply a book, and early-printed books are called incunabula, books in their infancy. We are accustomed to think of the periods of manuscripts and printed books as distinct. Traditionally a scholar working in one of these fields has known little of the other …
