Dent’s 1894 edition were the first modern set of illustrations of Thomas Malory’s Morte d’Arthur published after the anonymous woodcuts in the 1498 edition printed by Wynkyn de Worde. Since their publication, Beardsley’s illustrations have been criticised for their supposed unfaithfulness to Malory’s text. This article argues however that Beardsley’s illustrations of Morte d’Arthur bear great resemblance to the 1498 woodcuts. It discusses how both sets of illustrations react to Malory’s complicated understanding of chivalry and dictate a reading of Morte d’Arthur that places emphasis on the importance of Camelot’s women and Malory’s criticism of chivalry.","PeriodicalId":41348,"journal":{"name":"Quaerendo-A Journal Devoted to Manuscripts and Printed Books","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49130463","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 inquiry lays emphasis on the design and appearance of the 1517 edition. These are analyzed as reflecting the book’s potential audience, but also as suggesting the former existence of an edition of the Tabula (Vienna, 1515) that is presently not available in a surviving copy. Concurrently, since issuing the dialogue in Vienna was connected to the activities of itinerant poets, scholars, printers and they patrons, who worked towards integrating the humanist curriculum into the local education, this study provides insight into the intellectual networks of those who were involved with the Tabula’s publication and who constituted the contemporary audience in Central Europe both for this and other humanistic texts.","PeriodicalId":41348,"journal":{"name":"Quaerendo-A Journal Devoted to Manuscripts and Printed Books","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48650322","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 project demonstrates Werdenhagen’s centrality in the early distribution of Böhme’s theosophical doctrines in the United Provinces. The Dresden project was funded by Rosine Vogtin, who from 1642 commissioned the office of Gimel Bergen to print works by Jacob Böhme and Ludwig Friedrich Gifftheil.","PeriodicalId":41348,"journal":{"name":"Quaerendo-A Journal Devoted to Manuscripts and Printed Books","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49432911","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}
