Thanks to a lead gift from Lisa Unger Baskin and matching contributions from the BSA community, we exceeded our goal and raised a total of $110,949. The generosity of our donors will endow the existing Fellowship award and a new Dorothy Porter Wesley award for New Scholars, also in perpetuity. Another exciting development of the winter season was the establishment of a D. F. McKenzie New Scholars award by an anonymous donor. The Council and Officers are grateful for the support and enthusiasm of our donors for the BSA Fellowship and New Scholars Program. Both are crucial for fostering bibliographical studies and broadening our bibliographical community. The two Dorothy Porter Wesley awards and the D. F. McKenzie award will play major roles toward achieving BSA’s mission of fostering the study of material texts.The Equity Action Plan (EAP) commits the Fellowship program to bringing more diversity to bibliographical scholarship, and the BSA Council, Officers, and Executive Director are proud to see this endowment supporting the participation of individuals from under-represented groups. The Society will continue working to develop new Fellowship opportunities in partnership with members and allies in the field. Any individual interested in establishing a new award is gratefully encouraged to contact BSA Executive Director Erin McGuirl by email ([email protected]) or by telephone (+1 347-222-6098).President Duroselle-Melish has also established a Working Group for Fellows and Fellowships. In addition to designing opportunities to share the ongoing work and accomplishments of current and recent BSA Fellows, the group will be responsible for attending to the commitments made by the Society in the EAP with respect to the Fellowship program.At its February 18, 2023, meeting, the Council approved the Society’s Land Acknowledgment, fulfilling a commitment made in the EAP. The text was carefully researched, written, and revised by Events Committee Chair Ashley Cataldo, Council Member María Victoria Fernández, and Secretary John McQuillen; the Council and Officers are grateful to them for their work in service of the EAP. The BSA Land Acknowledgment can be consulted at any time on the Society’s website at https://bibsocamer.org/about-us/the-society/land-acknowledgment.Finally, the Council, Officers, and Executive Director have recently adopted a new labor ethic, “compassionate accountability.” BSA recognizes that volunteers on Council, Committees and Working Groups must balance many competing priorities when fulfilling service commitme
前一篇文章免费协会信息下载引文跟踪引文任务转载分享在facebook twitter linkedin redditemailprint部分来自理事会的报告在协会2023年1月27日的年会上，卡罗琳·杜罗塞尔-梅利什主席宣布了一项新的倡议，永久地为黑人书目编者提供多萝西·波特·韦斯利奖学金。感谢Lisa Unger Baskin的带头捐款和BSA社区的匹配捐款，我们超过了我们的目标，共筹集了110,949美元。我们的慷慨捐献人将捐赠现有的奖学金奖和新的多萝西波特韦斯利新学者奖，也是永久的。冬季另一个令人兴奋的进展是由一位匿名捐赠者设立了D. F.麦肯齐新学者奖。理事会和管理人员感谢捐助者对BSA奖学金和新学者计划的支持和热情。两者都是促进目录学研究和扩大我们的目录学社区的关键。两个Dorothy Porter Wesley奖和D. F. McKenzie奖将在实现BSA促进材料文本研究的使命方面发挥重要作用。公平行动计划(EAP)承诺奖学金项目将使书目奖学金更加多样化，BSA理事会、官员和执行董事很自豪地看到，这笔捐赠支持了来自代表性不足群体的个人的参与。协会将继续努力与该领域的会员和盟友合作，开发新的奖学金机会。任何有兴趣设立新奖项的个人都可以通过电子邮件([email protected])或电话(+1 347-222-6098)与BSA执行董事Erin McGuirl联系。杜罗塞尔-梅里什总统还设立了一个研究员和奖学金工作组。除了设计机会分享当前和最近的BSA研究员正在进行的工作和成就外，该小组还将负责履行协会在EAP中就奖学金计划作出的承诺。在2023年2月18日的会议上，理事会批准了协会的土地确认，履行了在EAP中做出的承诺。该文本由活动委员会主席Ashley Cataldo、理事会成员María Victoria Fernández和秘书John McQuillen仔细研究、撰写和修订;理事会和高级职员感谢他们为本计划所做的工作。BSA土地确认可以随时在协会的网站https://bibsocamer.org/about-us/the-society/land-acknowledgment.Finally上查阅，理事会，官员和执行董事最近采用了一种新的劳动伦理，“富有同情心的责任”。BSA认识到，理事会、委员会和工作小组的志愿者在履行社会的服务承诺时，必须平衡许多相互竞争的优先事项。同样，协会的执行董事作为组织的唯一雇员，必须平衡许多相互竞争的优先事项。通过将富有同情心的责任作为我们的劳动伦理，BSA努力成为一个有效的、适应性强的组织，在我们回应会员和更广泛的书目社区的需求时，我们设定了可实现的目标，并道德地管理我们的资源(劳动力、知识和资金)。在个人层面上，当BSA志愿者和员工以富有同情心的责任感作为我们的劳动伦理进行合作时，以下几点是正确的:•志愿者只有在他们相信他们可以在现有资源(包括时间)下做出有意义的贡献时才会说“是”。•志愿者和工作人员在经过深思熟虑后，根据预先确定的、双方都同意的时间表，对他们实现既定目标的能力进行了考虑，然后说“是”。•当志愿者和员工被要求贡献更多的时间、人才或财富时，他们会感到很舒服，也会被支持说“不”。•志愿者在出现问题时进行沟通。当志愿者需要帮助履行承诺或调整时间表时，或者当他们不能再履行善意的承诺时，他们会与委员会成员、委员会主席、理事会领导或BSA工作人员交谈。•志愿者和工作人员可以畅所欲言，询问潜在的利益冲突。祝贺2023年奖学金获得者请与BSA奖学金委员会，理事会和官员一起祝贺获得2023年奖学金的书目编纂者。正如即将离任的委员会成员Paloma Celis Carbajal在2023年年会上所指出的，BSA的预算包括每年超过50,000美元的奖学金资金。奖学金计划的支持来自于BSA的捐赠基金、基金会和个人。 我们感谢过去和现在的个人和组织，他们的慷慨和远见为这一关键项目提供了动力。塔利亚·安德森，华盛顿州立大学，“威廉·穆恩和盲人工人阶级的触觉印刷创作”(BSA短期奖学金)克莱尔·m·l·伯恩，宾夕法尼亚州立大学，“偶然的莎士比亚”(英国图书贸易凯瑟琳·f·潘泽高级奖学金)诺拉·爱泼斯坦，圣安德鲁斯大学，“视觉共性:“改革后英格兰印刷灵修图像的传播和接受”(中西部书目学者卡克斯顿俱乐部奖学金)Suzan Folkerts, Bibliotheek Deventer，“中世纪晚期Deventer的手稿制作”(BSA-Peck Stacpoole早期职业收藏专业人员奖学金)Sonia Hazard，佛罗里达州立大学，“切罗基流散中的基督教和书籍”，1828-1861”(Reese Fellowship for American Bibliography and The History of The Book in america)埃琳娜·洛利，牛津大学，“超越刻板印象重写犹太放债历史:通过对新发现的希伯来帐簿的分析，近代早期意大利的典当业”(BSA短期奖学金)约兰达·马基，宾夕法尼亚州立大学，“恢复和回收克劳德·麦凯丢失的小说(s)和蔼的大牙齿”(BSA - st。海伦·b·k·马罗丁，南卡罗莱纳大学，“探索里约热内卢国家图书馆:现代性和巴西烹饪文学”(bsa -松树基金会烹饪书目奖学金)凯蒂·米切尔，亚特兰大好书，“给人民的散文:黑人书店的探索”(多萝西·波特·韦斯利奖学金)安德里亚·普萨雷兹，大学Anáhuac，姆萨雷兹，“通过17世纪墨西哥印刷书籍的材料的类型配置:印刷诗歌比赛(和其他文本类型)的研究”(BSA-Pine Tree Foundation Fellowship in Hispanic Bibliography)Michele Pflug，俄勒冈大学，“' in Pursuit of Butterflies ':性别，疯狂，和自然历史在英国农村，1655年至1715年”(BSA-ASECS奖学金书目研究在18世纪)多米尼克·波兰科，弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学，“复制殖民地:Pintura del goberador, alcaldes y regidores de m<s:1> xxio 's Many Editions”(BSA-Pine Tree Foundation Fellowship in Hispanic Bibliography)Stanislav Voloshchenko，乌克兰东正教会，“西里尔行为和15 - 17世纪波兰国家图书馆的使徒书信(文本，领土和人类)”(BSA-Peck Stacpoole Fellowship for Early Career Collections Professionals)Molly Yarn，独立学者，“女性印刷工和英语图书贸易，(Katharine F.

This essay argues that The Second Part of the Theatre of God’s Judgements, a long historical disquisition on the seven deadly sins and published in 1642 as the work of Thomas Taylor, was composed by Thomas Heywood, the dramatist and prose miscellanist. The evidence for the attribution lies in The Second Part’s use of distinctive items of latinate vocabulary, its deployment of passages used elsewhere by Heywood, its familiar and authorial allusion to Heywood’s native Lincolnshire, its alertness to the drama of forty to fifty years previously, and its pattern of verbal preferences. The argument is placed within the context of Heywood’s prolific final decade, and the article assesses the implications for our understanding of this late period of Heywood’s writing life and examines the prospect for further work on Heywood’s canon of writings.

Richard Rowlands Verstegan’s Theatrum crudelitatum haereticorum nostri temporis (1587) is widely recognized as one of the most iconic and compelling illustrated martyrologies of the late sixteenth century. Despite this, the publication history of the work’s French translation, the Théâtre des cruautés des héreticques de nostre temps, has never been clarified by Verstegan scholars. This article provides a clear and definitive publication history of the French translation of the work. In doing so, I provide vital insight into the exact time in which the translation was produced, allowing Verstegan scholars to better investigate the work’s place in France’s ever-changing political context of the late sixteenth century.
Richard Rowlands Verstegan的Theatrum crudelitatum haereticorum nostri temporis(1587)被广泛认为是16世纪晚期最具代表性和最引人注目的殉道史之一。尽管如此，Verstegan的学者们从来没有澄清过这部作品的法语译本《th tre des cruautsams des hsamreticques de nostre temps》的出版历史。这篇文章提供了一个清晰和明确的出版历史的法语翻译的工作。在此过程中，我提供了对翻译的确切时间的重要见解，使Verstegan学者能够更好地调查这部作品在16世纪晚期法国不断变化的政治背景中的地位。

This paper initiates a watermark database that authenticates dates and origins for paper at the Cape Colony during the period of Dutch administration (1652–1795). Since surveys of watermarks used in mainland Europe do not adequately correspond to those used at the Cape, it is important to examine paper from the Cape. This article presents the first survey of such watermarks by studying the paper used by the Dutch East India Company (the VOC) to minute the Resolusies (Resolutions) of the Council of Policy meetings, connecting those watermarks with the dates of specific governors, commissioners, and chambers. The survey accomplishes three tasks: it allows for the tracing of paper routes and knowledge networks in the early modern world, it reinforces the reliability of historical records for this period of Cape and South African history, and it improves accuracy for establishing sources for the paper and its watermarks, wherever they ultimately end up. Since the Cape did not have a printing press until after the period of Dutch administration, the weight of handwritten tradition was important in the communication and dissemination of ideas, more so than elsewhere in the colonial world. A watermark database based on VOC archives would therefore be a valuable aid to the study of the manuscript culture of this region, which is still too little known.

This piece studies the decrees of the First Mexican Council, gathered in 1555 to establish legal norms for the newly founded Church province. Apart from some notes on the conciliar context, the article focuses entirely on the original manuscript (1555) and the first print edition (1556). It explains how the manuscript moved from the cathedral archives in Mexico City into the collections of Bancroft Library, where it is found today. The article also traces the provenance of all known copies of the first print edition. Many of them passed through the bookshelves of Mexican collectors, and today the majority are held by libraries outside Mexico. To understand this particular case, I identify members of the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century networks involved in book and manuscript trade. I also explain how dramatic events in Mexican history allowed them to acquire early colonial documents and imprints. Combining provenance research with an analysis of the broader historical and political context, I provide a case study of the close relationship between historical developments, book collecting, and book sales, which led to the veritable exodus of written material from Latin America to Europe and North America.
