摘要

摘要:英国大法官院书记员理查德·索沃(Richard Sotheworth, 1419年)在遗嘱中列出了《坎特伯雷故事集》和其他三本书,成为最早拥有乔叟这首诗的人。我在这里发现了一份苏富比拥有并抄写的手稿,以及他手中的一些衡平法院文件。考虑到与苏富比有联系的个人拥有的遗嘱和手稿,本文恢复了衡平法所职员的书籍和财物网络。从这个网络中,我展示了一种独特的话语,来自大法官办公室的职员如何描述他们的日常事务,以及在他们想象自己的死亡时占据他们的书籍。这些遗嘱中反复出现的对购买、复制和拥有各种类型书籍的人的关注,揭示了索沃和他的同事将书籍视为需要叙述的东西的方式——作为大法官办公室职员概念化、描述和重视的对象,不仅是因为它们的文本,还因为它们所体现的社会关系和它们所唤起的个人记忆。

Richard Sotheworth, Chancery Clerks, and a Discourse of Books
Abstract:The Chancery clerk Richard Sotheworth (d. 1419) listed a copy of the Canterbury Tales and three other books in his will, making him the earliest named owner of Chaucer's poem. I identify here a manuscript owned and copied by Sotheworth, and also a number of Chancery documents in his hand. Considering the wills and manuscripts owned by individuals connected to Sotheworth, this essay recovers a network of the books and belongings of Chancery clerks. From this network, I demonstrate that a distinct discourse emerges from how Chancery clerks described the books that were their daily business and also occupied them as they imagined their own deaths. The recurring attention in these wills to who bought, copied, and owned books of every type reveals the ways in which Sotheworth and his colleagues conceived of books as things that themselves required narration—as objects that Chancery clerks conceptualized, described, and valued not only for their texts, but in terms of the social relationships they embodied and the personal memories they evoked.
