Description
An account of the resource
In the 16th century guild regulations forbade women to train as printers or start presses, but they could inherit and run printing houses as widows. Charlotte Guillard (d. 1557) worked at the important Soleil d’Or press in Paris from 1502 until her death, running it through two periods of widowhood, the second lasting the final twenty years of her life.
In an age when copyright was weak or non-existent, and pirated editions were commonplace, the printer’s mark asserted identity, authenticity, and authority. These are from the 15th through early 17th centuries.
1. Charlotte Guillard’s mark
2. Scholar-printer Aldus Manutius, among whose innovations were the Italic font and the first practicable Greek font.
3. Henri Estienne (Stephanus), whose 1578 edition of Plato’s works established the system of reference and organization used to this day.
4. Ottaviano Scoto
5. Ioannes Maire
6. Paolo Meietti
7. Alessandro Bindoni
8. Giunti family
9. Andreas Torresanus & Bartolomaeus de Blavis
10. Bartlomeo de gli Alberti

Subject
The topic of the resource
Tufts University. Tisch Library. Special Collections
Description
An account of the resource
We continue a week devoted to the arts of book making and book ownership with a selection of bookplates. Ex libris = From the books (library).
The first is a visual pun on the name of Alfred Church Lane, Pearson Professor of Geology & Minerology, 1909-1936, after whom Lane Hall is named.
The second is from a collection of French author George Sand's early editions, from the library of the great Sand scholar, Georges Lubin (1904-2000). When Tufts professor Isabelle Naginski received a transatlantic phone call from her daughter, reporting that the books of Professor Naginski's late colleague were on sale in a Paris antiquarian bookshop, further hasty phone calls snared some of these historically and editorially valuable books for Tufts. Prof. Naginski's research on the novel, Lelia, is based on the early copy in our Lubin collection.
The bookplates of Bloomsbury figures Lytton Strachey and Roger Senhouse grace their copy of Boccaccio's Decameron, published in Amsterdam, 1665.
While other readers in this collection of plates are less well known to us, their artistic or whimsical sensibilities live on to inspire new readers.

September 24, 2020 – The Aldine Edition of Plato's Works
Subject
The topic of the resource
Tufts University. Tisch Library. Special Collections
Description
An account of the resource
How was it put together? Is everything there? Questions for anyone who studies an early printed book, even an online digital copy. If you like puzzles, early printed books may be for you.
Over centuries of use, misuse, vandalism, repair, and re-binding, leaves can go missing. The book may have been bound out of order to begin with. Binders, who often could not read the texts, followed letters and numbers on the fronts of the first half of every gathering of leaves (quire), called signatures. A quire of eight leaves may have signatures A Aii Aiii Aiiii, and then four with no marks. Page numbers were uncommon before 1600. Page numbers and signature order do not always match (put your money on the signatures).
A register, printed at the end of some books, indicates the order in which the binder should assemble the quires. The first photo shows the register for the two-volume work in the second photo, the Aldine edition of Plato’s works, printed in Venice, in 1513. Notice that the two volumes are different sizes. They come from different sets, cropped and bound differently. Along the way, Volume I lost its cover. Puzzles!
The register indicates there are 62 quires, 1-EE. All quires are gatherings of four sheets (“quaterniones”) folded down the middle to make eight leaves, except quires 2, ii, and EE, which are of two folded sheets (“duerniones"), or four leaves.
A researcher using this copy of Plato would do well to check that each of 968 pages of text is present, and standing in the right place.

Description
An account of the resource
Miniatures from a facsimile of "Chirugia," a 14th C. Latin translation of a textbook on surgery by Arab physician Abu al-Qasim Khalaf Ibn Abbas al-Zahrawi. Court physician to Western Umayyad Caliph al-Hakam II (961-976 CE), Al-Zahrawi combined Greek classical and late classical medical science, for long stretches during the Middle Ages lost in countries of the former western Roman empire, with knowledge gained from his own medical practice, into an encyclopedic work. Translated to Latin by Gerard of Cremona (1114-1187 CE), Al-Zahrawi's "Chirugia" became a handbook of longstanding influence in the Latin world.
This series illustrates the technique of cauterization.

Description
An account of the resource
Today on the autumn equinox we showcase the work of Margaret Bryan, an English schoolteacher, who in 1797 published "A Compendious System of Astronomy." Bryan taught girls at locations in or near London. Beyond that, and three educational publications on the sciences, little is known of her. Presence in the compendium's subscribers list of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Astronomer Royal testify to her professional accomplishment and social standing.
Shown here are several of Bryan's original illustrations, as well as the frontispiece portrait of her sitting with her daughters. Our copy lacks the frontispiece; this image is from the Linda Hall Library, dedicated to research in science, engineering, and technology, in Kansas City, MO.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1838 Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) escaped slavery in Maryland with assistance from his soon-to-be wife, a free Black woman, Anna Murray. They settled in Massachusetts, a center of Abolitionist effort. Douglass quickly became a leading orator, writer, and publisher in the ant-slavery movement, as he would, as well, for women's suffrage, and equality for Native Americans and Chinese immigrants.
Over 175 years, the frontispiece portrait of Douglass in this first edition of his first book, published in Boston, has imprinted itself on the opposite title page. This book is one of many primary sources (pamphlets, serials, and books) on slavery and Abolition in Tisch Special Collections.
