The predilection of the CRRS for Erasmiana in all of its manifestations – early editions of Erasmus and his contemporaries, studies, lectures – is easy to detect. But there’s an ideal use for all of this: since the 1970s the University of Toronto Press has been publishing an edition of Erasmus’s complete correspondence and other major writings. The Collected Works of Erasmus (CWE), under the general editorship of Professor James K. McConica, President of the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, has produced nearly 50 volumes so far, and the final total will be 89, including Contemporaries of Erasmus, a three-volume biographical register of those mentioned in Erasmus’s writings. The CWE is the largest translation project ever undertaken by a Canadian press. It is a bit incredible that such a massive task was ever begun, and that it is still active in a time when scholars are so pressed to demonstrate immediate practical results and the applicability of their research.
The idea originated back in the summer of 1968, when Ron Schoeffel of the University of Toronto Press decided that he'd like to read Erasmus’s letters but couldn’t find an English edition in the card catalogue of the library. He thought that there must be some mistake. There wasn’t. The letters of one of the greatest humanist thinkers and most important figures of the Renaissance and Reformation were only available in Latin, and just a few of his other writings existed in English. Back at the Press, Schoeffel consulted with the Managing Editor, Francess Halpenny, and with other colleagues and scholars about the possibility of having the Press produce and publish a translation of Erasmus’s writings. Bold plans were fashionable and also manageable in those days; by the end of 1968 the CWE was launched, with an estimated 40 volumes planned – not merely Erasmus’s letters but also his other major writings – translated, annotated, outfitted with extensive scholarly apparatus, and carefully situated in the cultural, theological, grammatical, political, philosophical, and bibliographical context of his time. Since then, the final count has increased to 89 volumes and it will take another twenty or so years before the work is completed and all the volumes are published.
It hasn’t always been easy going. Although the CWE began with the assurance of ongoing grant funding, that ended in 1998 when the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada decided to shift its emphasis in the awarding of grants. But the University of Toronto Press has continued to support both the research and publication costs of the edition, and with occasional financial assistance from individuals and institutions and the invaluable support of the scholarly community at large, the project has not only survived but flourished. The Collected Works of Erasmus has been called ‘one of the great megaprojects in the history of Canadian publishing’ (Ottawa Citizen), and ‘a magnificent achievement, one of the scholarly triumphs of our time’ (Lisa Jardine, Common Knowledge).
For many years, the CRRS has invited a well- established scholar of international standing to stay with us for a week in the springtime, share his or her current research, and meet with students and scholars. We began the series by hosting Paul Oskar Kristeller, and other notable Distinguished Visiting Scholars have included Charles Trinkaus, Margaret King, Michael J.B. Allen, and Elizabeth Gleason.
We are delighted to announce that the 2003 CRRS Distinguished Visiting Scholar is Susan Karant-Nunn, Director of Late Medieval and Reformation Studies at the University of Arizona. She will be here from March 3–7. Professor Karant- Nunn is an expert in 16thc. German social history and ritual, and she will present the following lectures, both of which are open to the public and free of charge:
Tuesday March 4 “Sorrowing, Sighing, Bleeding, Dying: The Calming of Religious Feelings in the Protestant Reformations” – Alumni Hall, Old Victoria College; tea 4:00, lecture 4:15.
Thursday March 6 “‘She Gazed with Monstrous Eyes’: The Emotions of Witches” – Emmanuel College, Room 001 (Electronic Classroom); tea 4:00, lecture 4:15.
If you would like to meet with Professor Karant- Nunn, please contact Kim Yates to arrange an appointment.
Next year, the CRRS will host Cranmer expert Diarmaid MacCulloch as our Erasmus Speaker in October, and art historian Jeffrey Chipps Smith as our 2004 Distinguished Visiting Scholar.
The CRRS was thrilled to receive Professor F. David Hoeniger’s recent donation of several wonderful early English editions of Ben Jonson and John Dryden.
In 1616, Ben Jonson’s plays, poems, masques, and entertainments were printed in London in a handsome, carefully-produced folio under the simple title Works. That these literary remains were brought together as a single volume should not come as a surprise, as interest in Jonson’s achievements had risen substantially in seventeenth- century London, particularly under the generous patronage of the new Stuart King, James I. But Jonson’s choice of the title Works was treated by some of his contemporaries as the ultimate gesture of pretension. Were these mere plays to be ranked alongside Homer, Virgil, and Chaucer? Despite the voices of dissent, Jonson’s renown rose above these detractors and his Works were popular enough to demand a second edition in 1640, now updated with a series of new poems. This, the recently acquired CRRS edition, is in good condition, bound as a single volume in brushed calf.
The other set of donations are both from the printed works of John Dryden. When Jonson’s Works are placed beside Dryden’s slim quarto Of Dramatick Poesie: An Essay, the latter seems to pale in comparison; but as we know, looks can be deceiving. Dryden’s famous early venture into literary theory came more than a decade after he was named Poet Laureate in 1670, and quartos are every bibliophile’s secret passion (ours is the 2nd edition; the first was 1668). By the time he died in 1700, Dryden had earned his place among the greatest English poets. Our third donation, the two-volume folio set of his plays issued in 1701, bears eloquent testimony to his literary eminence with its luxurious binding and hand-tooling in gold.
The CRRS rare collection of literature in English is growing steadily. These acquisitions are highlights in an illustrious list that includes early printings of Phillip Sidney, Edmund Spenser, Michael Drayton, and Francis Bacon.
Poculi Ludique Societas and the Jackman Program for the Arts are pleased to present the Digby Mary Magdalene, directed by Peter Cockett, May 23–25, 2003 (5–8 pm). This extraordinary theatrical event will be performed outdoors at the Victoria College Playing Field, 120 Charles Street West, and will be accompanied by a Symposium, a Saints’ Play Festival, and a Directors’ Round Table. All events are free and open to the public.
The Digby Mary Magdalene is one of the few surviving English saints’ plays. The story of the fallen woman befriended by Jesus stimulated the imagination of medieval patristic writers and they developed and extended the scriptural narrative(s) into an elaborate biography. This play is a theatrical adaptation of these stories.
Our Mary Magdalene is the daughter of Lord Magdalene; she inherits her father’s castle, is tempted by the World, the Flesh and the Devil, and falls into a sinful life in the taverns of Jerusalem. She meets Jesus, repents, is redeemed, and witnesses his resurrection. She then sails across the Mediterranean and converts the pagan king and queen of Marseilles. After spending her last years alone in the wilderness where angels feed her heavenly manna, she dies and ascends to heaven to live in eternal bliss. It’s a sensational three-hour play of miracles and wonders, and it exploits every opportunity for pageantry and spectacle.
Using pageant wagons, masks, music, a moving ship and pyrotechnics, our production aims to recreate the community spirit of a medieval performance. Actors, designers, stage managers and directors from across the university will join forces to stage this extraordinary play.
To learn more about the Digby Mary Magdalene and Saints’ Play Festival, and to request a schedule of events, please contact the Poculi Ludique Societas by phone at (416) 978-5096, by e-mail at plspls@chass.utoronto.ca, or write to us at Poculi Ludique Societas, 39 Queen’s Park Crescent East, Toronto, ON, M5S 2C3.

The CRRS Fall 2002 newsletter went out with an uncharacteristic attachment: a charitable beg letter. Your response was gratifying: we raised several thousand dollars! The donations were directed into funds that support graduate research travel, visiting scholars, and rare acquisitions. We are immensely grateful for your support.
Tax receipts for 2002 donations have now gone out, but there is always 2003 – if you’d like more information about making a charitable donation to the CRRS, we’d be happy to talk to you. Please contact Kim Yates at crrs.vic@utoronto.ca or (416) 585-4484 for further information. Donations of books appropriate to our modern or rare collections are also appreciated.
I learned about the Early English Books Online database from an announcement of its essay contest. As I was starting research on Milton’s use of gunpowder in Paradise Lost, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to work some primary resources into my paper. What I did not realise was how much my ideas would be enriched by the contemporary books, pamphlets, and royal edicts I was able to find online. The result was probably the best, and definitely the most satisfying essay of my undergraduate career.
The documents I used from EEBO fall into two groups: contemporary poetic works that deal with gunpowder, and treatises on the proper conduct of war. EEBO allowed me to follow up on citations of poetry from secondary sources, providing me with the full originals where I might have had only a few lines or a précis available to me otherwise. The war treatises proved even more valuable: I have been trained in the study of literature, not history, and my desire when reading secondary sources is always to return to the original texts. EEBO provided a wide variety of military treatises; these texts freed me from absolute dependence on the opinion of certain historians, and permitted me to engage with the rhetoric of the period firsthand. As well, I had access to the illustrations in particular editions. The result was that I could not only check secondary sources, but also find other sources that the published commentators may not have mentioned.
I know that the resource is very useful to more advanced scholars, but in a way the difference may be greater for the undergraduate student: we often need special permission to use certain libraries or rare book collections, and are unlikely to receive travel grants for research in the collections at out-of-town universities. Nevertheless, undergraduate English courses, with their emphasis on close reading, encourage the use of primary sources above that of secondary material; it should follow that students would have the opportunity to follow the principle one step further, and analyse texts in their first published forms.
Congratulations to Irina Dumitrescu, who won first prize ($1000 US) in the Early English Books Online Undergraduate Studies Essay Competition for 2002 with her essay, “False Glitter: The Meaning of Gunpowder in Paradise Lost”. For contest information: http://www.lib.umich.edu/eebo/index.html.

CRRS, along with many other UofT departments and the Medieval Academy of America, is co- sponsoring the Vagantes conference, March 20-23 at Victoria College (the weekend before the RSA conference). This interdisciplinary conference in medieval studies is entirely organized by graduate students. Toronto hopes to live up to the terrific start given to the series last year at Harvard before the torch passes to Cornell in 2004.
There will be 24 graduate papers from the entire geographic, temporal and topical range of medieval studies presented over the course of the weekend, plus keynote addresses by Professors David Klausner (Toronto) and Paul Hyams (Cornell). Of special interest to those in the CRRS community will be the following papers: ‘A Penny for Your Text: Economy and Indulgence in an Israhel van Meckenem Print’, ‘Lighting the Spark: The Medieval Itty-Bitty Book Light’, ‘Playing House: The Public Performance of Domesticity in the Advent Pageants of the York Mystery Plays’, ‘Of Weavers, Angels, and the Blind Minstrel of God: Exploring Contexts for Musical Performance in the York Corpus Christi Plays’, and ‘Changes in Lay Devotional Experience and Late Medieval Representations of the “Three Living and the Three Dead”’.
In addition, there will be tours and presentations of various Toronto-based research projects and resources, a book room, and much “convivitas et schmoozitas”. The conference is free for students and $15 for everyone else; all are welcome to attend but are asked to preregister ASAP by sending an e-mail with your name, affiliation and student status to: registration@vagantes.org. For more information and a complete lineup of papers, consult our website: http://www.vagantes.org.
The CRRS is pleased to announce a new project, the Electronic Capito Project, which has recently been affiliated with the ongoing Iter project. The purpose of the Electronic Capito Project is to provide online transcriptions of the otherwise inaccessible correspondence of Wolfgang Capito (1478-1541). The website (http://www.wolfgang-capito.com) is part of a larger editorial and translation project aimed at making the correspondence of Capito available to an English readership in conventional printed form. Volume 1 (1506-1524) is scheduled for completion in 2003 and will be published by Droz in Geneva in their new series, Corpus Reformatorum Minorum. The printed edition will include transcriptions with facing English translations and annotations. Summaries of the letters published elsewhere in modern editions will be provided. The Capito Project is headed by Prof. Erika Rummel with the help of Milton Kooistra, and is supported by a grant from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
With nearly half a million bibliographical records for articles, books, and reviews, and over 60,000 new records every year, Iter has expanded its coverage by adding a category for essays in collections. To aid us in this initiative, you are invited to send suggestions for indexing to Marian Cosic at iter@fis.utoronto.ca. Our next step will be to provide records for dissertations and online resources.
In addition to the bibliography, Iter subscribers have access to the online edition of Iter Italicum, Paul Oskar Kristeller's listing of uncatalogued, or incompletely catalogued, humanist manuscripts of the Renaissance. You can also consult the International Directory of Renaissance and Reformation Associations and Institutes, and register in Iter's International Directory of Scholars. In 2003 we will add John Shawcross's Milton bibliography, published in cooperation with Medieval and Renaissance Texts and Studies. RSA members will soon be able to read and search the current issues of Renaissance Quarterly, our first full-text online journal. Iter also plans to provide access to the full-text books distributed by the ACLS History E-Book project. Eventually, we will add a comprehensive announcement and alerting service for everything from calls for papers to funding opportunities.
Iter also provides online services to scholarly societies. We now offer online submission and evaluation of proposals for conference papers and panels, registrations, and membership management. You may have noticed these services if you are an active member of the RSA.
I invite you to visit our site at http://www.IterGateway.org, or to contact me directly at william.bowen@utoronto.ca. The CRRS is a full partner in Iter and your opinion about its projects matters to us.
A humanist encyclopedia and the first “orthodox” Protestant commentary on the Book of Revelation are the newest additions to the Centre’s rare book collection.
The Commentaria Urbana of Raffaele Maffei of Volterra (Raphael Volterranus) were well known to many Renaissance scholars, including Erasmus, who mentions them. The work was first printed in Rome in 1506. Our edition was printed at Paris by Josse Bade in 1526. At well over 800 folio pages, this massive work is divided into three parts: Geographia, which describes the known world including recent discoveries in India and America; Anthropologia, which provides biographical sketches of ancient men and some women; and Philologia, which outlines current scientific knowledge. A veritable potpourri of humanist learning, its full title is Commentariorum Urbanorum Raphaelis Volaterrani, octo et triginta libri cum duplici eorundem indice secundum Tomos collecto. Maffei’s Latin translation of Xenophon’s Oeconomicus is appended at the end of the main text.
Our second acquisition takes us from the worldly erudition of a Renaissance scholar into the eschatological hopes of a Protestant exegete. The Franciscan François Lambert was converted in 1522 by Ulrich Zwingli. Both Erasmus and Luther questioned the canonicity of the Book of Revelation, but Lambert defended it. “To him,” Irena Backus wrote in Reformation Readings of the Apocalypse, “the Apocalypse was the text that clearly prophesied the Reformation, so it had to be maintained in the canon.” We have acquired a first edition of the Exegeos Francisci Lamberti Avinionensis in sanctam Divi Iohannis Apocalypsim libri VII (Marburg: Franz Rhode, 1528).
Christiane Klapisch-Zuber is one of the leading social historians of Renaissance Italy, responsible for groundbreaking work in statistical analysis, and new interpretations of women's experience in this critical time and place. She first gained attention in a monumental study co-authored with the late David Herlihy, titled Les toscans et leur familles (1978, translated as Tuscans and Their Families, 1988), a detailed analysis of Tuscan family life prepared through the computerization of an enormous store of data generated by a 1427 tax census of Florence - the first such analysis of any European city. This painstaking work provided a remarkable portrait of family structure, marital relations, and neighbourhood life in 15th c. Florence. Subsequent articles on brides, widows, servants, daughters, wet-nurses, and nuns were published in Women, Family and Ritual in Renaissance Italy (1985). She has trained many historians in France as the Director of Studies at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris and has held Visiting Professorships and Research Fellowships at the Institute for Advanced Studies (Princeton), Berkeley, the French School in Rome, the Getty Centre, and the Harvard Centre for Italian Renaissance Studies (Villa I Tatti) in Florence.
RSA President Ronald G. Witt will present the Paul Oskar Kristeller Lifetime Achievement Award on the first night of the RSA conference, Thursday, March 27, at the Colony Hotel Toronto (89 Chestnut St.). Professor Klapisch-Zuber will give a Plenary Lecture titled "Non-Material Transferral in the Renaissance: Talents, Names, Kinship" from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the 2nd floor ballroom. The CRRS will host a reception in her honour in the Lakeview room on the 27th floor at 6:30. Support was provided by:
Major Sponsors: Consulat Général de France à Toronto, Renaissance Society of America, and (at the University of Toronto), the Emilio Goggio Chair in Italian Studies, University of Toronto Libraries, and the Office of the Vice-President and Provost

For several years, I have been recataloguing the Centre's rare books collection according to current standards, so that the records can be incorporated into the online catalogue.
While much of this work is routine, once in a while a seemingly simple volume will open up into hours or days of detective work. Last November we recatalogued a volume of sermons preceded by the life of the author. The title page was missing, but there were pencil notes indicating that the author was the famous James Ussher, Archbishop of Armagh; it had been catalogued accordingly. There was no evidence for the attribution. We checked Ussher's Works, and found no sermons corresponding to these. Maddeningly, the first 20 pages of the "Life" were missing, and in the remaining pages the subject was never named. I noticed, however, that there was a reference to the Restoration, which meant the subject had been alive in 1660 - and Ussher died in 1656. There was also a mention of Lichfield as the subject's episcopal see. We hunted around on the web and found that the first Bishop of Lichfield after the Restoration was John Hacket. The Dictionary of National Biography provided incidents and details that matched up with our fragmentary "Life".
Only one edition of Hacket's sermons was ever published: A Century of Sermons (London, 1675, 1013 p.). Our very imperfect copy lacks its last few hundred pages, but the table of contents lists exactly a hundred sermons (a "century"), and the last begins on p. 1003. I am confident that this is our text.
This is the only copy of Hacket's sermons in the University's library system. The misattribution made it effectively unavailable to researchers for many years, but now we have it back again.
Our publishing program has expanded rapidly in the past two years. We have taken on the business management of two respected journals, Renaissance and Reformation/Renaissance et Réforme, Canada's oldest scholarly journal in the area, and Early Theatre, a much newer journal that rose out of one of the University of Toronto's leading humanities research projects, the Records of Early English Drama. Our business management permits the editors of these journals to focus on content and promotion. We have also launched a new series, Essays and Studies, to offer an outlet for works that do not readily fall into the two existing series, Texts in Translation and Tudor and Stuart Texts. Our first offering in the series is Konrad Eisenbichler's 2001 essay collection, The Pre-modern Teenager; there are currently four more titles in preparation: Shell Games: Scams, Frauds, and Deceits, The Renaissance in the Nineteenth Century, A Renaissance of Conflicts, and The Fall of Troy in the Renaissance Imagination. Titles are also in the works for our other series. A volume of translations of Savonarola texts is nearing completion for Texts in Translation, and studies of the churching of women and rogues and vagabonds are in process for Tudor and Stuart Texts. Our distribution has expanded significantly through an arrangement with MRTS in Arizona, which ensures that our volumes are displayed at all major conferences in the early modern field. We are also exploring online ordering services.
On February 7, the CRRS sponsored a bilingual, interdisciplinary conference entitled France in Italy / La France dans l'Italie at Victoria College. The sixteen participants represented six disciplines and four southern Ontario universities. Publication of selected proceedings is planned. The conference organizers (Mawy Bouchard, François Paré, Laura Willett) gratefully acknowledge the generous support of the following: the Emilio Goggio Chair in Italian Studies, the Consulate General of France, the President of Victoria University, the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, the Department of French Studies, the Faculty of Physical Education and Health, the Department of Fine Art, the Toronto Renaissance and Reformation Colloquium, P.I.M.S., and the Faculty of Music.
Some very nice bits of news have been filtering in about our CRRS alumni.
Lesley Cormack (Curator, 1987-89) has been promoted to Full Professor in the Department of History at the University of Alberta. Before the promotion, Lesley had served the U of A as Associate Chair of History (2000-02) and as Associate Dean of Student Programs (1998-99). She writes to say that she has also just finished indexing Making Contact: Maps, Identity, and Travel, which she co-edited with Glenn Burger, Jonathan Hart, and Natalia Pylypiuk (forthcoming, University of Alberta Press). Her own book, Charting an Empire, is receiving quite a lot of reviews, 19 to date, "and yes, by and large they've been pretty positive." Lesley and her husband Andrew have just submitted a new manuscript to Broadview Press that she says is "not so CRRS related" (Philosophy to Utility: A History of Science). And, she adds, "The boys are growing fast (6 and 9)".
Joseph Black (Curator, 1993-97) is also doing well. Joe, who is Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in the Department of English in the University of Tennessee, co-edited The Broadview Anthology of Seventeenth-Century English Verse and Prose. His other recent publications include articles on Spenser, Martin Marprelate, the history of the Renaissance book, and 17th-century libraries. Joe is also editing the Marprelate tracts, for which he was awarded an NEH research grant.
Konrad Eisenbichler (Curator, 1979-85) took a leave of absence from Toronto in the fall of 2002 to accept a post as Visiting Professor at the University of Virginia. For this and other sins, he is now the Associate Chair and Graduate Co-ordinator of the Department of Italian Studies (Toronto).
Lisa Celovsky (Fellow, 1992-94) is an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in the Department of English in Suffolk University in Boston. She has published articles on Sidney, Spenser, Renaissance tournaments, and epic masculinity, and is working on a monograph on masculinity in the epic-romance tradition.
Philippa Sheppard has temporarily gone abroad; she has accepted a one year lectureship at University College in Dublin (2002-03), where she will be teaching Renaissance and Modern drama to undergraduates and graduates.
Andrew Gow sends us a moving note about passages: "After a disastrous autumn, in which my revered teacher Prof. Dr. Jutta Goheen, who supervised my B.A. Honours thesis at Carleton University, died at the age of 67, and one of my favourite high school teachers, Mr. Robert Dagenais, who taught me French literature at Glebe Collegiate Institute, was murdered, I have been in a shaky state for some weeks. It is nice to have some good news to announce, news that would, I think, have given both Bob and Jutta considerable nachas [the opposite of Schadenfreude, for those of you with little Yiddish]. They both contributed a great deal to my formation as a thinker and as a scholar, so I am sending this note specifically to people from whom I have learned things - things of the most various kind - as a tribute to my teachers and to my doctor-father Heiko Oberman, who did not live to see any of his Tucson graduates climb the steps to the top of the academic cursus honorum. My chair and dean have informed me that the final vote of the Faculty Evaluation Committee yesterday was unanimous in promoting me to full professor. My pleasure would have been complete had I been able to share this news with all my teachers." He adds that Male Witches in Early Modern Europe, ed. by Lara Apps and Andrew Gow, just appeared from Manchester University Press (the North American launch will be in May), at the same time as The Apocalyptic Year 1000, ed. by Richard Landes, Andrew Gow and David C. Van Meter, will be released by Oxford University Press in May.
Jamie Smith (Robson Research Assistant, 2001-2) is off to Genoa to do primary source research in the archives. Thank you for all of your hard work, Jamie - we miss you!
Last spring, at the meetings of the Canadian Society for Renaissance Studies, current Fellow Laura Willett received the CSRS Montaigne Prize for the best paper delivered by an independent scholar. She has also been busy writing and expects to have two books out in early 2003: an edition of conference proceedings entitled The Changing Face of Montaigne (Champion) and the translation of the Defence & Illustration of the French Language (CRRS).
After ten years at Simon Fraser University, Lawrin Armstrong (Graduate Fellow 1986-88) has returned to the Centre for Medieval Studies where he will teach medieval Latin and courses in economic history and law with a focus on early Renaissance Florence. His book, Usury and Public Debt in Early Renaissance Florence: Lorenzo Ridolfi on the 'Monte Commune' will be published by the PIMS Press this spring.
Mark Jurdjevic, a graduate of the Victoria College Renaissance Studies Program and a Visiting Graduate Fellow of the CRRS (2001-02), has successfully defended his thesis and received his PhD in History from the Northeastern University (Chicago). Mark is now at Yale University as the Andrew Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the Whitney Humanities Center. He recently dropped us a line, saying: "I just wanted to write a brief note thanking you all for welcoming my wife and me to the CRRS and making it a hospitable place. I didn't get out to as many of the various talks as I would have liked, but I did get a lot of work done. I very much appreciated having the resources of the Centre and the U of T library system available over the past few months." Well, we appreciate the note and reciprocate the nice words by saying it's always a pleasure to know that we've been helpful to scholars!
