Scrapbook

"Quite possibly this solution was at the prompting of Lister's wife, appalled at the prospect of so many years of devoted labour by her husband coming to nought in the end through the prohibitive cost of setting so huge a work in type. Certainly it was she, together with at least one of their daughters (researchers interpret the evidence differently as to how many of those were involved), who took upon themselves the immense task of producing the nearly 1,000 engravings, from their own preliminary sketches, a task to which they must have sacrificed considerably more than their leisure hours during the seven years that the first and main instalment was in production. 'I doe not wonder your workw[omen] begin to be tired,' a concerned Edward Llwyd wrote to Lister from Oxford as the work was nearing completion in 1692, 'you have held them so long to it' -- though the image of Lister as an ever-hovering taskmaster that those words conjure up is probably misleading: the others more probably took part contentedly, of their own volition. though it has been far from unusual over the years for naturalists to enlist the services of their wives and children for searching and collecting (as Ray was doing in that very same period in connection with the Historia insectorum), instances of a family conveyor belt for producing illustrations must be very rare by comparison. In one respect, however, the Listers were to be outdone by the early 19c Baxters: many of the plates for British Phaenogamous Botany, a long-running part-work by their father, the curator of the University Botanic Garden at Oxford, were produced not only by his daughters but by a daughter-in-law as well."

  • see Ransome 2011 69 -- John Ferrar describes them as "the handy-work of women"; George Herbert thanked the women
  • see bottom of Ransome 2011 165 -- change made to Harmonies "that only Ferrar himself could have presumed to make"
  • see Ransome 2011 173 -- who gets status as author? -- speculates on 174 that "the women of the household could have contributed little" to Nicholas the younger's style of harmonies, had he lived

A sweet Nosgay is "a more heterogeneous and complex material artifact" that advice manuals written by dying parents to children, or earlier complaint forms; is "an experimental foray into a more heterogeneous complaint form" (47)

"The Nosgay counters the anxieties of print publication by presenting a book that replicates private textual circulation. By including letters sent between family members and friends and by referring to the text's place in a gift/patronage cycle, Whitney sets up a textual exchange system within the work. ... Of a lower class but socially connected with aristocratic households, Whitney creates a textual artifact that imitates the practices of those in more elite coteries." (47)
"Her book relies upon an unconventional authorizing strategy: Whitney steps forth as a publishing author by presenting a set of texts seemingly dispersed and multiple in their sites of production, but that multiplicity is finally governed by the overarching genre of the individual complaint and the authority of the sick (but curative) writing subject." (47-8)

other Harmonies

Jean Buisson, inspiration for King's Harmony: http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=ucm.5316509452;view=1up;seq=5

"When and where Nicholas chose his model is unclear because in volumes made for family use there was no need to identify it. He did, however, do so in the great harmony created for King Charles in 1635. The basic harmonizing arrangement of the gospel texts, he there explained, was that of a Netherlander, Cornelius Jansen. To Jansen's plan he had added annotations taken from the work of a later follower of Jansen, Jean Buisson.1' Other possible but unacknowledged sources I shall consider later. Jansen had divided his harmony, Concordia Evangelica (1549), into 150 chapters.20 The appeal of that format to Nicholas probably lay in its having the same number of chapters as there were psalms. In his reading plan psalms and harmony chapters could be apportioned so that both books could be read through together in a thirty-day month and thus repeated twelve times in the course of the year. If these and other harmonies were available, why did the Ferrars have to create their own? Most of the continental harmonies, including Jansen and Buisson, were in Latin, with a few in French or German.22 While harmonies in these languages would have been accessible to Cambridge dons and students, they would hardly have served for general family use at Gidding. There were only two English harmonies extant in 1625-6 and they too were aimed rather at an academic than a family audience.2' The only 'popular' work of this sort was Robert Hill's chapter-by-chapter summary of Jansen's harmony published in 1596 and bound with Hill's more extensive summary of the whole bible.24 Hill, who at that time was a Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, but also lived with the family of Sir William Fitzwilliam in Essex, explicitly proclaimed the educational value of both harmonies and summaries of this sort. Hill's subsequent career as a preacher showed him as keen to educate his listeners as Nicholas was to instruct his family.25 Unlike Hill, however, Nicholas wanted for this purpose not a summary but the actual words of scripture. In 1625 therefore he could only have obtained such an English harmony by making it himself, cutting up an English bible and arranging its verses in Jansen's sequence." (Ransome 2005, http://search.proquest.com.proxy.lib.duke.edu/docview/216250890)
"Among Jansen's writings is the "Concordia evangelica." (Louvain, 1529), to which he later added the "Commentarius in Concordiam et totem historiam evangelicam" (Louvain, 1572), undoubtedly his best work. He published also: "Commentarius in Proverbia Salomonis" (Louvain, 1567), and "Commentarius in Ecclesiasticum" (Louvain, 1569), both of which were republished in one work at Antwerp in 1589; "Commentarius in omnes Psalmos Davidicos" (Louvain, 1569), with an introduction to each psalm, an excellent paraphrase of the text, and explanations of the difficult passages; "Paraphrases in ea Veteris Testamenti Cantica, quae per ferias singulas totius anni usus ecclesiasticus observat" (Louvain, 1569). After his death appeared "Annotationes in Librum Sapientiae" (Louvain, 1577)." -- http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08284b.htm
