Book excerpt: Excerpt from Book Auctions in England: In the Seventeenth Century (1676-1700); With a Chronological List of the Book Auctions of the Period One consolation gratifying to the writer of a book such as the present is that he need have little fear of serious criticism, for its comparative insignificance preludes this, and the undertaking would "Resemble ocean into tempest tossed To waft a feather, or to drown a fly." I hope, however, that this little work may have some interest for Book-lolvers, as introducing them to a little-known episode in the history of the dissemination of literature under the hammer of the auctioneer.

Edward M1ll1ngton's Book-auct1ons, 1680-1698. ILLINGTON, the contemporary and sometimes the coadjutor of William Cooper, began to sell books by auction in 1680. Originally a bookseller with a shop in Little Britain, near Cooper's, at the Sign of the Bible, he left that line of the business and devoted himself entirely to book-auctioneering, for which pursuit he had, as John Dunton says, exceptional abilities. His first sale consisted of the stocks of two London booksellers, viz. Jonathan Edwyns and D. Dan. These names do not occur on the title, but are recorded by Cooper in his list of sales given above. Millington, in his preface to this catalogue, plunges at once in medias res, and shows that the method of selling books by auction had in 1680 established a sure position, which time has shown to be a lasting one. "The way and method of Selling Books by Auction," he says, " being now so generally known, and so well approved of, that had not Custom made it necessary, it might seem needless to Preface such an undertaking. However, if any expect a reason, we answer, it's for the general benefit and gratification ot the learned, not excluding the honest Profit of the Undertakers; and as we shall not use the names, so neither abuse the World by pretending them to be the Libraries of some fam'd Antiquaries, or learned men deceased, but such as they are we refer you to Judge of by the ensuing Catalogue, which we may modestly say is not the most contemptible for Quantity or Quality that hath been exposed to sale this way. The Catalogue was taken in great hast, and by several hands, which hath occasioned many, and some very material mistakes which the ingenious will (we hope) excuse, and the intelligent at their leisure correct...".

Download or read book Cervantes in Seventeenth Century England written by Dale B. J. Randall and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-01-29 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cervantes in Seventeenth-century England garners well over a thousand English references to Cervantes and his works, thus providing the fullest and most intriguing early English picture ever made of the writings of Spain's greatest writer. Besides references to the nineteen books of Cervantes's prose available to seventeenth-century English readers (including four little-known abridgments), this new volume includes entries by such notable writers as Ben Jonson, John Fletcher, William Wycherley, Aphra Behn, Thomas Hobbes, John Dryden, and John Locke, as well as many lesser-known and anonymous writers. A reader will find, among others, a counterfeiter, a midwife, an astrologer, a princess, a diarist, and a Harvard graduate. Altogether this broad range of writers, famed and forgotten alike, brings to light not only sectarian and political tensions of the day, but also glimpses of the arts-of weaving, singing, acting, engraving, and painting. Even dancing, for there was a dance called the "Sancho Panzo". The volume opens with a wide-ranging Introduction that among other things traces the English reception of both Cervantes's Don Quixote and his Novelas ejemplares, including the part they played in English drama. In the main body of the work, individual items are arranged chronologically by year and, within that framework, alphabetically by author, thus providing little-known seventeenth-century evidence regarding the nature and breadth of British interest in Cervantes in various decades. Thorough annotation helps readers to place individual entries in their historical, social, political, and in some instances religious contexts. The volume includes twenty-nine germane seventeenth-century pictures, an index of references to chapters in Don Quixote, and a full bibliography and index.

Book excerpt: In this study of Amsterdam's Golden Age cultural elite, John Michael Montias analyzes records of auctions from the Orphan Chamber of Amsterdam through the first half of the seventeenth century, revealing a wealth of information on some 2,000 art buyers' regional origins, social and religious affiliations, wealth, and aesthetic preferences. Chapters focus not only on the art dealers who bought at these auctions, but also on buyers who had special connections with individual artists.
