This chapter looks at the minds of the first two presidents of Corpus Christi College, John Claymond and Robert Morwent, speculating on what might have been their most worrying moments. For Claymond, it is the death of Richard Fox in 1528, which brought the greatest predator of the decade into an uncomfortably intimate relationship with the College, because Fox’s successor at Winchester was none other than Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. Indeed, the two or three years after 1528 would have remained anxious for Claymond. The chapter next looks into the mind of President Morwent, and shows how another perilous moment would have arrived in 1538. By 1538, Cardinal Reginald Pole headed King’s Henry’s list of people who required murdering. It was amid the political turmoil of this debacle that Archbishop Thomas Cranmer let Thomas Cromwell know of dangerously papalist sentiments currently being expressed among the Corpus Fellowship. In the end, Corpus sneaked past this crisis too.
本章着眼于科珀斯克里斯蒂学院(Corpus Christi College)前两位校长约翰•克莱蒙德(John Claymond)和罗伯特•莫文特(Robert Morwent)的思想,推测他们最担心的时刻可能是什么。对克莱蒙德来说,1528年理查德·福克斯(Richard Fox)的死,让这个十年来最大的掠夺者与学院陷入了一种令人不安的亲密关系,因为福克斯在温彻斯特的继任者不是别人,正是红衣主教托马斯·沃尔西(Thomas Wolsey)。事实上,1528年之后的两三年里克莱蒙德一直很焦虑。接下来的一章深入剖析了Morwent总统的思想,并展示了1538年又一个危险的时刻是如何到来的。到1538年,红衣主教雷金纳德·波尔在亨利国王的谋杀名单上名列前茅。正是在这场崩溃的政治动荡中,大主教托马斯·克兰麦让托马斯·克伦威尔知道了目前在圣体团中正在表达的危险的教皇主义情绪。最后,科珀斯也安然度过了这场危机。

This chapter focuses on the aesthetic of the cultural moment at which Corpus Christi College was founded: 1517 lies on the cusp between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in England. If one accepts that cusp as fundamentally contested, it remains fruitful to explore how the main actors in affairs of Church and State manifest certain tastes and ideas, combining ‘medieval‘ and ‘Renaissance‘ themes, that are identifiable as elements of coterie-signalling. Two artefacts directly associated with Richard Fox, the College’s founder, stand as such signals, that is material testimonies to group-definition in the dominant sub-culture. The chapter then draws on the wider ecclesiastical and court milieu to explore how performative gestures in the patronage of the built environment have counterparts in actual performance, in the pageantry and plays of the end of the fifteenth and beginning of the sixteenth century.

This chapter details the building of Corpus Christi College. Richard Fox was a staggeringly wealthy individual. A mere fortnight of his earnings as the richest bishop in England was enough to buy the site of Corpus Christi. Fox was also a far from indifferent patron. Even as Corpus was being built, he was employing the very best workmen to construct his own chantry chapel and reconstruct the east end of Winchester cathedral. Ultimately, the choices he made in Winchester and in Cambridge reveal a sensitive and creative use of style. He was one of the very first to import Renaissance designs into England, but also employed older forms when he considered that they were appropriate. For that reason, the choices he made when building Corpus Christi offer a particularly useful way of understanding what he hoped the college might amount to.

This chapter assesses Corpus Christi College before Erasmus. The first promoters of humanism at the start of the Quattrocento had positioned themselves as counter-cultural. Humanism, that is to say, did not require institutional recognition to thrive, and, in England as elsewhere, it carved out space for itself in the fifteenth-century cultural landscape, within and beyond institutions. Yet, humanists proved a quarrelsome tribe: where the early Quattrocento trailblazers laid their path, others sometimes refused to follow. Over the century, the identity of humanism developed, ramified, and splintered, drawing strength from its conflicts, not only with those it characterized as its implacable opponents, but also among its own proponents. Corpus could draw on these plural identities, and the implication is that the affiliation to Erasmus and his own formulation of humanism was only one possible inspiration among several.

This concluding chapter argues that scholars still debate the nature of Richard Fox’s evolving views concerning his college and the extent to which the humanist curriculum he implemented is indicative of a ‘secularist‘ agenda—as some contemporaries assumed. Erasmus, for one, believed the new foundation aimed ‘expressly for the humanities‘. Richard Fox’s statutes exhibited a more circumscribed position insofar as the humanities were concerned. He conceived virtue and knowledge to be two poles of a ladder, the steps of which would assist his bees—and those whom they nourished—to soar heavenward. In other words, learning was subservient to the true goal of the college: to bolster religion. Thus, when discussing the responsibilities of the theology lecturer, Fox made it explicit how it ‘behooves‘ other lecturers ‘to obey, wait on, and serve‘ him.

This chapter looks at aspects of identity and emotion in life at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, as envisaged by its founder and as experienced in its early decades. Many historians now strive to discern emotions from the past and to understand the lives of their subjects as experienced in bodies and with feeling. To study emotions is to understand what inspired fear, love, anger, or anxiety, while acknowledging that both the triggers for these emotions and the ways they were expressed are historical indeed. Thinking of Corpus Christi, such embodied experiences happened at its dining tables, in its chapel and library, and in the chambers shared by pupils and teachers; outdoors too, along the paths that led from task to task, and in the gardens. The chapter then considers the spaces inhabited by Corpus members, and the objects which helped form the experiences that made Corpus an ‘emotional community‘.

This introductory chapter provides an overview of Corpus Christi College in Oxford, founded in 1517 by Bishop Richard Fox, which occupies a particular place in the history of English universities. Corpus Christi College was a new kind of foundation, with a humanist curriculum and a distinctive emphasis on pedagogy. Endowed with lecturers in ‘Humanity‘ (Latin literature), Greek, and Theology—the last appointed to teach Scripture and the church fathers rather than the medieval authorities—it seemed to harness the learning of the Renaissance to the contemporaneous project of spiritual reform and reformation. Moreover, Corpus Christi College’s trilingual library—containing texts in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew—was famously judged by Erasmus as a wonder of the world. So it is that Corpus has been identified as one of a ‘group of Renaissance colleges‘, introducing ‘a new era in the university‘.

This chapter details relations between Church and state in Richard Fox’s age. The break with Rome, the royal supremacy, and the dissolution of the monasteries irreversibly altered the way in which the early Tudor polity would be conceived. Already in the sixteenth century, accounts of this period were informed by the Reformation. Incidents such as Bishop Fox’s change of plan at Oxford—transforming a primarily monastic ‘Winchester College‘ into the secular Corpus Christi College—became overlaid with foreshadowed significance. Ultimately, Fox’s was the last great age of bishops founding university colleges, since the requisite mix of authority and wealth seldom coalesced so favourably thereafter and certainly could not during the assault on episcopal incomes later in the sixteenth century. Clerical dominance in Church and state made Corpus.

In the early 1960s, scholars attributed to Galileo an extensive set of annotations in the margins of a copy of the 1546 Latin translation of Philoponus’ commentary on Aristotle’s Physics by Guglielmo Doroteo (c.1526–1571). This chapter establishes that the annotations are not Galileo’s. It provides overwhelming evidence drawn from an annotated copy of the Latin translation of Aristotle’s Parva Naturalia, edited in 1523 by Niccolò Leonico Tomeo (1456–1531). The analysis is structured like a medieval quaestio: whereas the arguments quod sic show that the handwriting of the annotations and of Galileo’s manuscripts might well be one and the same, the arguments quod non offer compelling evidence to the contrary.

This chapter presents a review of The Teaching and Learning of Arabic in Early Modern Europe edited by Jan Loop, Alastair Hamilton, and Charles Burnett. The book features a collection of essays that grew out of a conference with a similar title held in Leiden in 2013, but represents a thoroughly updated and expanded body of work. The title words ‘and Learning’ emphasize an important feature: whereas most existing treatments of Arabic studies in this period concentrate on their pursuit in the formal setting of the universities, several of the contributors examine how the language was acquired in other contexts. Notable in this respect is Mordechai Feingold’s ‘Learning Arabic in Early Modern England’, which illustrates the importance of self-study, even in the universities.
