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","PeriodicalId":22928,"journal":{"name":"The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136280773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":22928,"journal":{"name":"The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America","volume":"55 1","pages":"173 - 213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88735887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":22928,"journal":{"name":"The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America","volume":"6 1","pages":"237 - 252"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75548624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Tracing Personal Accounts in Colonial Knowledge Networks: Towards a Watermark Database for the Cape Colony, 1652–1795","authors":"Tycho Maas","doi":"10.1086/725534","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/725534","url":null,"abstract":"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.","PeriodicalId":22928,"journal":{"name":"The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America","volume":"12 1","pages":"215 - 235"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80639259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":22928,"journal":{"name":"The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America","volume":"31 1","pages":"143 - 171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91197917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
