L'arquebisbe Diego de Anaya (1357-1437) va agrupar una de les col·leccions de llibres més notables de la Castella tardomedieval. Les formes per mitjà de les quals va anar fent aplegada dels seus ...exemplars van ser diverses, atesa la varietat d'usos i funcions que van tenir al llarg de la seva trajectòria. Els dos manuscrits seleccionats en aquesta ocasió (BGH, Ms. 2638 i Ms. 1906) permeten aprofundir en els encàrrecs de la seva etapa final, al davant de la diòcesi sevillana. L'esment al seu testament a Pedro de Toledo i la proximitat dels repertoris amb els seus treballs contribueixen a perfilar nous aspectes de la personalitat artística del controvertit personatge.
Samuel Rawson Gardiner was a Victorian historian known for his extensive research and writings on English history. He was raised in the Catholic Apostolic Church and his first book was a translation ...of a German convert's work on the sect. Gardiner's reputation is based on his massive history of England from 1603 to 1656, which he meticulously researched using contemporary sources. He was also involved in various historical societies and edited numerous volumes of documents. Gardiner's approach to history focused on the intersection of ideas and politics, and he emphasized the importance of understanding the changes in thought and feeling that shape a nation. While he neglected social and economic history, Gardiner's work was praised for its clear and straightforward writing style. Despite initial criticism and financial struggles, Gardiner eventually gained recognition and financial success for his historical works. He was known for his impartiality and his ability to see honorable motives in adversaries. Gardiner's research was extensive, and he traveled to various archives in Europe to gather sources. He was a respected figure in the academic community and had close relationships with other historians, although he was described as a reclusive and private individual.

In Collecting Shakespeare, Stephen H. Grant recounts the American success story of Henry and Emily Folger of Brooklyn, a couple who were devoted to each other, in love with Shakespeare, and bitten by ...the collecting bug.
Shortly after marrying in 1885, the Folgers started buying, cataloging, and storing all manner of items about Shakespeare and his era. Emily earned a master's degree in Shakespeare studies. The frugal couple worked passionately as a tight-knit team during the Gilded Age, financing their hobby with the fortune Henry earned as president of Standard Oil Company of New York, where he was a trusted associate of John D. Rockefeller Sr.
While a number of American universities offered to house the collection, the Folgers wanted to give it to the American people. Afraid the price of antiquarian books would soar if their names were revealed, they secretly acquired prime real estate on Capitol Hill near the Library of Congress. They commissioned the design and construction of an elegant building with a reading room, public exhibition hall, and the Elizabethan Theatre. The Folger Shakespeare Library was dedicated on the Bard's birthday, April 23, 1932.
The library houses 82 First Folios, 275,000 books, and 60,000 manuscripts. It welcomes more than 100,000 visitors a year and provides professors, scholars, graduate students, and researchers from around the world with access to the collections. It is also a vibrant center in Washington, D.C., for cultural programs, including theater, concerts, lectures, and poetry readings.
The library provided Grant with unprecedented access to the primary sources within the Folger vault. He draws on interviews with surviving Folger relatives and visits to 35 related archives in the United States and in Britain to create a portrait of the remarkable couple who ensured that Shakespeare would have a beautiful home in America.
This paper proposes a different reading of the inventory of Giovanni Della Casa's library to the one carried out previously by Lorenzo Campana and Emanuela Scarpa. Starting from a general description ...of the document, included in the manuscript volume Vat. lat. 14826, the author assigns to Giovanni Della Casa titles which Campana and Scarpa had attributed to Ubaldino Baldinelli (whose library, or part of it, was included in Della Casa's in 1551). The author also attempts to identify some of these editions and proposes to date the inventory to 1551, when Della Casa was about to take definitive leave of Rome to move to Venice.

Journal Article

The author recently relocated from Athens (Go Dawgs!) to Atlanta (Go Jackets!). The professional movers were very kind about, if not weary of, their several stacks of boxes containing books. After ...they left their new apartment, she scooted the boxes to approximately where they needed to be. Her Egon Schiele and Mapplethorpe art books are snuggled up together on the shelf with her textbooks on war and democracy. Her treasured Prince fan magazine sits contentedly next to old copies of Cooks Illustrated. What is not obvious is that this collection has splintered over time and space. Books she regret moving to Iowa: twenty leather bound art books that they never read and creaked when opened; and both of their copies of The Road by Cormac McCarthy. How to cull a collection with a long-term partner with minimal tears: each partner selects what in good conscience they will never read or ever read again. The other partner gets veto power on the selection with no justification required.
Contemporary Arab feminist writers such as Margot Badran and Mona Eltahawy describe their personal discovery of Arab “pioneers.” This label positions “pioneers” as exceptional figures, which ...untethers their legacy from contemporary Arab feminists, and from one another. Drawing on the Warwick Research Collective's concept of “combined and uneven development,” this essay rethinks how we understand the first wave to account for the feminist histories in al-mashreq, and therefore reimagines the feminist wave model to account for waves of transmission, of emotion such as inspiration drawn from solidarity with other women. Through analysis of Anglophone scholarship and biographies, translated autobiographical writings of “pioneers,” and analysis of L'Egyptienne magazine, this article offers a new way of framing the work of “pioneer” feminists as part of a wide network of collaborators, and a wave of feminist activism that is locally and globally imbricated. This paper examines women's journals and salons which contribute to a period of “invisible feminism” from 1860 to the early 1920s. The endeavors of three “pioneer” figures, Huda Sha'rawi (Egypt, 1879–1947), Anbara Salam Khalidi (Lebanon, 1897–1986), and May Ziadeh (Palestine/Lebanon, 1886–1941) are then discussed through the lens of their influential friendships with other women.
Book entries (marginalii) present an interesting, sometimes unique phenomenon, and for today they are an underestimated historical and cultural source for researchers. Continuing the work on the ...introduction into scientific circulation of the corpus of records preserved on old printed books of the Cyrillic tradition from the collection of the Archaeography Research Laboratory of the University of Humanities Research of the Urals Federal University, the authors present the second article devoted to this issue. The article reproduces entries on 25 old printed books of the 16–17th centuries. As is in the previous work, separate entries in each of the books are provided with historical comments.
Las transformaciones sociales, económicas y culturales emprendidas bajo el reinado de Carlos III tuvieron como marco de referencia un ambiente ilustrado y una elite capaz de sostener el espíritu ...reformista. Un ejemplo de ellos fue el religioso mercedario Raimundo Melchor Magi, obispo de Guadix y Baza, miembro destacado de la intelligentsia valenciana de la Corte y quien llegó a atesorar a lo largo de su vida una importante biblioteca personal de más de mil ejemplares, traídos de toda Europa, y a través de los cuales se puede descubrir el reflejo de su propia biografía así como los particulares intereses intelectuales y académicos de su propietario.
This article examines the fate of Franz Rosenzweig's private library which is today part of the National Library of Tunisia. With the German-Jewish philosopher's death in 1929, the collection passed ...to his son Rafael, who fled Germany for Palestine in 1939. The library with about 3,000 volumes was to follow him, but the cargo ship was diverted to Tunis during the Second World War. The article sheds light on the context of the collection's origin and significance in the life of Franz Rosenzweig and his environment, the odyssey of the books to Tunisia and the aftermath of the collection until today.
This article focuses on the fate of a personal library held by two librarians and bibliographers, Dr. Franc Simonic and his son in law Dr. Janko Slebinger at the family estate in Gornja Radgona. ...Today, the authors can witness only the remains of what was once an extensive library curtailed by the owners' migrations and their financial hardships. Besides domestic and foreign literature, the library contained plenty of journals, for example the complete bind editions of Novice, Zgodnje danice, Cas, Kres, Veda, Ljubljanski zvon; it also included valuable manuscripts, old ephemera, 17th and 18th century books and plenty of rare editions such as books from the Prekmurje region and prints written in dajncica. It was not only the professional selection that made the library exceptional but also its appearance -- bookshelves full of prime bindings.
