September 15, 2020 – MS 21
Subject
The topic of the resource
Tufts University. Tisch Library. Special Collections
Description
An account of the resource
The first question most people ask about Special Collections: "What is the oldest book Tufts has?" It is Manuscript 21, a Latin Bible copied in Paris some time between 1220-1240 CE. The text is written on vellum, made from calf skins. It features 80 historiated initials (scenes related to the text) by artists of the Du Prat atelier; 61 foliate initials, and innumerable minor penwork initials. Opportunity for comparative research: there is another Du Prat Bible nearby, at the Boston Public Library.
The photos from MS 21 show Jerome, translator of this Latin text, depicted as a scribe; Moses placing a tablet in an ark; Elimelech, Naomi, and two children; David, traditionally regarded as author of the Psalms, playing a harp; Daniel in the lions' den; and foliate and penwork initials.

September 16, 2020 – "Late Voyage to Constantinople"
Subject
The topic of the resource
Tufts University. Tisch Library. Special Collections
Description
An account of the resource
In the news since 532 CE, Hagia Sophia, Istanbul. Commissioned by the emperor Justinian, for nearly a thousand years it was the world's largest Christian cathedral. It was converted to a mosque in 1453, and turned into a museum in 1935. In 2020 it reopened as a mosque.
These views are by artist & traveler Guillaume-Joseph Grelot, published in his "Late Voyage to Constantinople" (London, 1683), after the French edition of 1680, dedicated to Louis XIV. Grelot sought to convince the French monarch of the beauty and importance of Constantinople, and to relay useful diplomatic intelligence, while securing the king's patronage, support vital to artists and scholars of the time.

September 18, 2020 – The Revd. Hosea Ballou 2d
Subject
The topic of the resource
Tufts University. Tisch Library. Special Collections
Description
An account of the resource
The Revd. Hosea Ballou 2d, founding president of Tufts, made his reputation as a scholar, educator, minister, and leader in the Universalist church. His library, preserved in Special Collections, reflects his work and interest in religion, history, languages & literature, education, and science. Sprinkled throughout are books about travel and adventure in then-remote and rugged places: Patagonia, the Rocky Mountains, northern Maine, the Alps, North Wales, Armenia, Kurdistan, Nepal.
Shown here are leaves from a pocket notebook recording, in Ballou's own hand, a trip to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. He drew upon these notes for an article in the Universalist Quarterly, Jan. 1846. A half-century later, the notebook was a source for Hosea Starr Ballou's biography of his uncle.

A name given to the resource
September 21, 2020- Frederick Douglass
Subject
The topic of the resource
Tufts University. Tisch Library. Special Collections
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.

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
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.

September 24, 2020 – The Aldine Edition of Plato's Works
Subject

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.
