This chapter argues that Thomas Thorpe’s 1609 edition of Shake-speares Sonnets was stymied by the success of The Passionate Pilgrim, a poetry collection first published by William Jaggard in 1599 and reprinted in 1612. Critics have suggested that the success of Jaggard’s volume may “have spoiled the market for authentic ‘sugred Sonnets’ by Shakespeare.” But to date, no one has read The Passionate Pilgrim as a sonnet sequence in its own right. This chapter outlines a history of sonnet publication that reveals striking resemblances between The Passionate Pilgrim and the printed English sonnet sequences then in fashion. Moreover, every element of the book—the title page, the poems it contained, and even its format—seems designed to highlight its place within Shakespeare’s oeuvre. Thus, when Thorpe’s Shake-speares Sonnets was printed in 1609, it appeared to be less sequence-like and less Shakespearean than The Passionate Pilgrim.

Since the appearance of the last number of this Bulletin I have had the good fortune to find the outer cover of the King's College manuscript of Almeida's History of Ethiopia, which had hitherto been missing. The discovery is important, for attached to this cover there was not only the original title page, but also the “Preliminary Matter” referred to by Marsden in his Catalogue, occupying in all eleven folios. The contents are as follows:—

The comedy which appears in the following pages is reprinted from “the second impression,” as it is called on the title page, made by Francis Kirkman in the year 1661: the first edition is apparently no longer extant. Francis Kirkman occupies an interesting position in the history of the English drama as the first man to interest himself in the collection and preservation of old English plays. To him we owe the reprint of Lust's Dominion, which has been attributed to Marlowe, of The Thracian Wonder, of Gammer Gurton's Nedle, and of other plays; and from Kirkman we have the first attempt at a catalogue of English dramas, the foundation on which Langbaine, Baker, Reed, and others were later to build. The earlier form of Kirkman's “an exact Catalogue of all the playes that were ever yet printed” appeared as a supplement to the present play, and included six hundred and ninety items. A few years later Kirkman had increased his list to eight hundred and six. He tells us that he had seen and read all these plays and that he possesses most of them, which he is willing to sell or lend upon reasonable consideration.

В Институте русской литературы Российской академии наук (г.Санкт-Петербург) хранится рукопись С.И.Гуляева, которая состоит из пяти тетрадей: Песни обрядные, Свадебные обряды, Песни круговые, Песни девичьи, женские и юнацкие, Знахарство. В совокупности они составляют самый ранний сборник народной поэзии Алтайского горного округа. Некоторые тексты народных песен и заговоров, а также фрагменты описания свадебного обряда Гуляев записал на Алтае еще в 1820-е годы. Частично материалы сборника были опубликованы в 1848 году в статье Этнографические очерки Южной Сибири . Затем до 1881 года автор вносил в рукопись дополнения: новые записи текстов песен и заговоров, этнографические описания свадебного обряда. В тетрадь Песни круговые он вложил черновик статьи о выпускнике Санкт-Петербургской консерватории, оперном и камерном певце Иване Васильевиче Матчинском, выступившем летом 1875 года с концертом в Барнауле. К статье Гуляев приклеил титульный лист тетради круговых песен, после чего в письме сообщил М.И.Писареву об окончании работы над сборником народной поэзии. Позднее в тетрадь Свадебные обряды собиратель внес описание умыкания невест у крещенской Иордани, случившееся в Барнауле в 1881 году. Тогда же он написал письмо С.Н.Шубинскому с вопросом о возможной публикации своего собрания в журнале Исторический вестник . Не считая заговоров, в четырех тетрадях рукописи содержится 291 текст хороводных (98), свадебных (84), лирических (72), плясовых (16) песен, причитаний (3 свадебных и 2 похоронных), духовных стихов (15) и рацейки (1), из них 156 не были опубликованы при жизни автора. В приложении к статье приводится содержание этих тетрадей сборника с отсылками к публикациям. Некоторые песни из собрания Гуляева в 19662016 годы удалось записать с напевами во время экспедиций Московской консерватории в южные районы Алтайского края. The Manuscript Department of the Russian Literature Institute (St. Petersburg) keeps a Stepan Gulyaevs manuscript, consisting of five notebooks: Ritual Songs, Wedding Ritual, Round Songs, Girls, Womens and Mens Songs, Sorcery. Together they form the earliest collection of the folk poetry of Altai mountain district. Some of these texts, along with the description of the wedding ceremony, were recorded by Gulyaev in Altai back in the 1820s. Partly the material was published in 1848, in Gulyaevs article Ethnographic Essays of South Siberia. After that, until 1881, he was making additions to the manuscript: the new lyrics, healers spells, and other. Gulyaev enclosed inside the Round Songs notebook the draft of his article about the recital of Ivan V.Matchinsky, a singer and a graduate of the St. Petersburg Conservatoire. The recital was held in Barnaul in 1875. Gulyaev glued the title-page of the Round Songs notebook to the article and then reported in the letter to Modest I.Pisarev that he had completed his work on the folk poetry collection. Gulyaev added the Wedding Rituals notebook with the description of the bride theft that happened in 1881 in Barnaul. At the same time he wrote a letter to Sergey Shubinskiy with a question about a possibility to publish his collection in the Historical Herald journal. Besides the spells, the four song notebooks contain 291 lyrics of round songs (98), wedding songs (84), lyrical songs (72), dance songs (16), spiritual poems (15), and other. The contents of these notebooks are attached to the article with the references to the published lyrics. Some of the songs from Gulyaevs collection were recorded with melodies in 19662016 during the expeditions to the southern regions of Altai.

Abstract In the fall of 1936 the Revue Générale du Caoutchouc published a special issue dedicated to the memory of the French scientist La Condamine on the occasion of the bicentenary of the discovery of rubber. Quite recently the same periodical issued another special number on the occasion of the International Exposition in Paris, 1937. The title page reproduces Cochin's well-known portrait of Charles Marie de la Condamine. The first paper by Ch. Jung, entitled “History and Development of the Rubber Industry,” gives all the credit of the discovery of rubber to Condamine, and for the details refers to the publication mentioned above. In the bicentennial number, Henri de la Condamine gives a detailed biography of his ancestor, wherein the name of Fresneau as a correspondent of Condamine is mentioned in a few places. A second paper, by Auguste Chevalier, deals chronologically with the various publications presented by Condamine, and here Fresneau receives as much credit as can be justified from the contents of these papers. Finally, we owe a revival of the correspondence between Fresneau-Condamine and the French Minister of Colonies Bertin to J. Ch. Bongrand. However, when one considers the exceedingly courteous phrases and carefully couched terms characteristic of letters of that period, and bears in mind that this correspondence only refers to the last years of Fresneau's life, such documents alone cannot be taken by the historian at their full value.

On the printed title-page to the Monasticon are the names of Roger Dodsworth and William Dugdale. The main body of the work was divided into sections, each dealing with a monastic order and the edifices which had belonged to it. It was Dugdale who commissioned Wenceslaus Hollar and his pupil Daniel King to make views of the cathedrals and churches for this enterprise. Since the development of the monasteries and the Church of England were inextricably mixed, this vast book in three folio volumes became a history of the foundations of all the principal churches in the kingdom.

POLISH POST-WAR RESEARCH INTO THE HISTORY OF PUBLISHING IN POLAND: ACHIEVEMENTS AND RESEARCH PROPOSALSThe history of publishing in Poland encompasses many issues associated with the emergence and dissemination of printed books. Of fundamental significance to the study of these issues are the records of the publishing output: while we have nearly complete — though requiring further exploration — records of this output for 15th–18th centuries, documented in bibliographies and catalogues, the situation is worse when it comes to the 19th and 20th centuries, until the outbreak of the Second World War. In this respect what we need is not only a continuation, but a radical intensification of bibliographic work. This concerns works published in the Latin, Cyrillic, Hebrew and Greek scripts as well as musical notation. Polish book scholars devoted a lot of attention to the beginnings of printing in Poland; the historiography concerning various typographic workshops located in the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is rich, though it still requires further extensive studies. The scholars were also interested in phenomena influencing the content structure of printed publications, like publishing privileges in the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, censorship as well as restrictions imposed by the partitioning powers and later by Poland’s communist authorities, as a result of which Polish publications had to be printed abroad and an independent publishing movement emerged. The scholars’ research interests also focused on books as products of the work of printers and publishers, on the publication of written works. They focused both on the various components of the book title page, printer’s signet, stemmata etc. and on its editorial composition as a whole.The scholars’ undoubted achievements in their studies of the history of publishing in Poland are significant, yet in many areas they need to be continued and expanded an important task is an edition of sources for the study of the history of Polish publishing, and concentrated on the phenomena that stem from developmental tendencies in modern book studies.

Based on examples that illus- trate how interaction design critically explores (i.e., decon- structs) its own expressional repertoire, we argue that there are commonalities with deconstructivist phases in related de- sign disciplines to learn from. Therefore, we draw on the role and characteristics of deconstructivism in the history of archi- tecture, graphic design, and fashion. Afterwards, we reflect on how interaction design is already a means of deconstruc- tion (e.g., in critical design). Finally, we discuss the potential of deconstructivism for form-giving practices, resulting in a proposal to extend interaction design’s expressional vocabu- lary of giving form to computational material by substantiat- ing a deconstructivist perspective. </span></p></div></div></div>
