Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of the Goldsmiths' Company, Vol. 2: Being Gleanings From Their Records Between the Years 1335 and 1815, With an Introduction and Notes Although the period covered by the following pages - viz., from 1651 to 1815 - is not perhaps so historically important as that dealt with in the first volume, the records are, nevertheless, replete with interest. The early poverty of the Company, and its gradual growth of prosperity, may be clearly traced. It will be seen that in 1651 the Court appointed "a Committee of Surveyors" to value the Company's property, and that upon receipt of the Committee's report various expedients for raising money were discussed. It is stated that "the great engagements of the Company" were "chiefly occasioned by borrowing money for the service of the State, and continuing the same at interest, and not receiving it again"; and in the following year (1652) a detailed account of "Money lent to the State" and 44 Moneys receaved of the State " is given. This is followed in 1654 by further entries respecting the "Public Faith debts," as they were then called. Again in 1667, after the havoc wrought by the Great Fire, "consideration is taken of the many urgent and pressing occasions of the Company for the payment of money for their present service, and more especially for that of repairing their Hall," and the Court are compelled to sell much of the Com: pany's plate, and also "certain of their houses not subject to charges for Charitable purposes"; while in 1670 the usual searches for defective wares were omitted "in regard to the great charge that doth attend the same." It will be noted that at this time various members of the Court voluntarily offered loans of money for the Company's public services.

Book Synopsis Fiction in the Archives by : Natalie Zemon Davis
Download or read book Fiction in the Archives written by Natalie Zemon Davis and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To receive a royal pardon in sixteenth-century France for certain kinds of homicide--unpremeditated, unintended, in self-defense, or otherwise excusable--a supplicant had to tell the king a story. These stories took the form of letters of remission, documents narrated to royal notaries by admitted offenders who, in effect, stated their case for pardon to the king. Thousands of such stories are found in French archives, providing precious evidence of the narrative skills and interpretive schemes of peasants and artisans as well as the well-born. This book, by one of the most acclaimed historians of our time, is a pioneering effort to us the tools of literary analysis to interpret archival texts: to show how people from different stations in life shaped the events of a crime into a story, and to compare their stories with those told by Renaissance authors not intended to judge the truth or falsity of the pardon narratives, but rather to refer to the techniques for crafting stories. A number of fascinating crime stories, often possessing Rabelaisian humor, are told in the course of the book, which consists of three long chapters. These chapters explore the French law of homicide, depictions of "hot anger" and self-defense, and the distinctive characteristics of women's stories of bloodshed. The book is illustrated with seven contemporary woodcuts and a facsimile of a letter of remission, with appendixes providing several other original documents. This volume is based on the Harry Camp Memorial Lectures given at Stanford University in 1986.

Book Synopsis The Allure of the Archives by : Arlette Farge
Download or read book The Allure of the Archives written by Arlette Farge and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIVArlette Farge’s Le Goût de l’archive is widely regarded as a historiographical classic. While combing through two-hundred-year-old judicial records from the Archives of the Bastille, historian Farge was struck by the extraordinarily intimate portrayal they provided of the lives of the poor in pre-Revolutionary France, especially women. She was seduced by the sensuality of old manuscripts and by the revelatory power of voices otherwise lost. In The Allure of the Archives, she conveys the exhilaration of uncovering hidden secrets and the thrill of venturing into new dimensions of the past. Originally published in 1989, Farge’s classic work communicates the tactile, interpretive, and emotional experience of archival research while sharing astonishing details about life under the Old Regime in France. At once a practical guide to research methodology and an elegant literary reflection on the challenges of writing history, this uniquely rich volume demonstrates how surrendering to the archive’s allure can forever change how we understand the past./div
Download or read book Too Much to Know written by Ann M. Blair and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-02 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flood of information brought to us by advancing technology is often accompanied by a distressing sense of "information overload," yet this experience is not unique to modern times. In fact, says Ann M. Blair in this intriguing book, the invention of the printing press and the ensuing abundance of books provoked sixteenth- and seventeenth-century European scholars to register complaints very similar to our own. Blair examines methods of information management in ancient and medieval Europe as well as the Islamic world and China, then focuses particular attention on the organization, composition, and reception of Latin reference books in print in early modern Europe. She explores in detail the sophisticated and sometimes idiosyncratic techniques that scholars and readers developed in an era of new technology and exploding information.
Book Synopsis Ralph Tailor's Summer by : Keith Wrightson
Download or read book Ralph Tailor's Summer written by Keith Wrightson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-06 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The plague outbreak of 1636 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne was one of the most devastating in English history. This hugely moving study looks in detail at its impact on the city through the eyes of a man who stayed as others fled: the scrivener Ralph Tailor. As a scrivener Tailor was responsible for many of the wills and inventories of his fellow citizens. By listening to and writing down the final wishes of the dying, the young scrivener often became the principal provider of comfort in people’s last hours. Drawing on the rich records left by Tailor during the course of his work along with many other sources, Keith Wrightson vividly reconstructs life in the early modern city during a time of crisis and envisions what such a calamitous decimation of the population must have meant for personal, familial, and social relations.
