The textual history of the first work on infinitesimal calculus and differentiation in print—Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’s ‘Nova methodus pro maximis et minimis …’ in the October 1684 instalment of the Leipzig scientific journal Acta Eruditorum—remains unstudied. Consequent to this inattention, extant copies of Leibniz’s article have been assigned to a single edition and a single press, despite evidence of substantive variation among them. This article examines the typographic and bibliographical evidence across multiple copies of the October 1684 instalment of the Acta to demonstrate that these extant copies in fact represent three separate editions printed on multiple presses over many years. This evidence, in turn, casts new light on both the complex printing history of the Acta Eruditorum in its first decade of publication (1682–93) and the distribution of learned periodicals in the seventeenth century.

The short meditation, A discourse of life and death was translated by Mary (Sidney) Herbert, Countess of Pembroke in 1590 from Excellent discours de la vie et de la mort by Philippe de Mornay, seigneur du Plessis-Marly. This article presents the publishing history of Herbert’s translation and how it was adapted twice in the seventeenth century. First, it is found as an incomplete manuscript by ‘T. H. Gent.’ (BL MS Sloane 1037). The manuscript has the correct licence to print, but the wrong author, and was used as setting copy in the print shop of George Eld and Miles Flesher in early 1624. All copies of that edition are now lost. In 1697 Herbert’s translation was revised again as the ‘contemplations’ of Sir John Fenwick before his execution for treason.
1590年，彭布罗克伯爵夫人玛丽(西德尼)赫伯特(Mary (Sidney) Herbert)从普莱西-马尔利侯爵菲利普·德·莫奈(Philippe de Mornay)的《关于生命和死亡的优秀论述》翻译了这篇简短的冥想。本文介绍了赫伯特译本的出版历史，以及它在17世纪是如何被两次改编的。首先，它是由T。h .绅士。(BL MS Sloane 1037)。这份手稿的印刷许可证是正确的，但作者是错误的，1624年初，它被乔治·菲尔德和迈尔斯·弗莱舍的印刷厂用作背景副本。那个版本的所有副本现在都丢失了。1697年，赫伯特的翻译再次被修改为约翰·芬威克爵士因叛国罪被处决前的“沉思”。

Early responses to Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language included manuscript annotations, sometimes very extensive, in copies of the dictionary. This article surveys twenty-one copies of eighteenth-century editions of the dictionary with critical or informative annotations, bearing on etymology or usage, adding new words or senses, or improving the supply and referencing of quotations. Some of these copies are extant in institutional or private collections, and others are unlocated. The annotators include Johnson himself; members of his circle including Edmund Burke, Samuel Dyer, Edmond Malone, Hester Piozzi, and George Steevens; and other readers including Leigh Hunt, Horne Tooke, Noah Webster, and John Wilkes.

Abstract:This article analyses an unpublished manuscript in Cambridge University Library belonging to the arms-painter and author Sylvanus Morgan (1620–1693), which contains two iterations of a library list, one beginning in 1646 and the other in 1653. The notebook also features drafts for Morgan’s subsequent publications, indicating the intersection between his reading and writing habits. His library is usually only discussed in relation to that of Robert Boyle, because the remains of both men’s libraries were inextricably muddled together in a joint book auction after Morgan’s death. Here, the Painter-Stainer’s book collection is considered in its own right, showing his (unsuccessful) attempts to elevate the status of heraldic knowledge through reference to contemporary colour theory, astronomy and philosophy. An annotated transcription of Morgan’s 1653 list of printed books is included in an appendix.
