SUMMARY:The Newly Discovered Notebook of Isaac Newton
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented and hosted by The Book Club of California\, The Bibliographical Society of America and the American Trust for the British Library \nJan 17\, 6:00pm Pacific Time \nThe newly discovered notebook of Isaac Newton\nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Scott Mandelbrote\, Fellow\, Director of Studies in History\, and Perne and Ward Librarian\, at Peterhouse\, University of Cambridge\, UK. He is also the editorial director of the Newton Project. \nZoom registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Iw7rvuiaTsihs8B1MwNTng \nThe Cambridge University Library recently purchased a previously unknown notebook kept by Isaac Newton’s chamber-fellow\, John Wickins\, in the years around 1680. It is possible to identify the contents of the notebook as being previously unknown compositions and correspondence of Isaac Newton\, which shed light on many aspects of his work and his engagement with the University in which he was employed. \nAs part of the preparation of an edition of the notebook\, the evidence that it provides for Newton’s reading habits has been extensively investigated and this talk will describe that evidence and the conclusions that can be drawn from it and from other sources to trace changes in Newton’s habits of study at a critical juncture in the development of his thought. \n

SUMMARY:Kate Ozment on The Hroswitha Club
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Caxton Club \nThe Hroswitha Club was a bibliographic society whose members were all women. \nWhy? \nWell\, it certainly couldn’t have been because when this women’s-only bibliographic society was formed during the 1940s\, women with a passion for books\, book collecting\, and book arts weren’t permitted to join organizations such as New York’s Grolier Club or a similarly situated Chicago society. (If men reading this feel so disposed\, they may insert a little downward gaze and some discreet embarrassed coughing here.) \nJoin Kate Ozment as she reveals the Hroswitha history\, tells about some if its remarkable members\, and discusses its impact on the world of book collecting and specialty publishing. \nDr. Ozment will be joining us from Cal Poly Pomona\, where she serves as an associate professor of English\, specializing in eighteen-century Anglophone literature\, book history\, digital humanities\, and gender studies. Because she earned her MA at the University of Chicago\, we’ll count on Kate to empathize with our winter weather and not contrast it with what she’ll be experiencing in Pomona. \nBonus! The first one hundred people to register won’t be asked to spell Hroswitha from memory as they sign up for this program\, so reserve your spot today! \nZoom presentation is free and open to all. \nJan. 12\, 2024. Zoom begins at 12:00PM CT/1:00 PM ET. Preregistration required via website. REGISTER HERE: https://caxtonclub.org/event-5535412 \nPlease forward this notice to anyone who may find it of interest.

SUMMARY:Russell Johnson on Five Centuries of Collecting Vesaliana
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Caxton Club \nWhen/Where: 12/15/2023 12:00 PM CT/1:00 PM ET Zoom presentation is free and open to all. Preregistration required via website. \nRegister here: https://caxtonclub.org/event-5494985 \nEVENT DETAILS: \nDecember Midday Program \nIf Cole Porter had been penning tunes during the sixteenth century he might have jumped on the Andreas Vesalius bandwagon to come up with a song titled “I’ll Draw What’s Under Your Skin.” \nVesalius’s anatomical masterwork De humani corporis fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human Body) was a medical sensation — and a boon to publisher/printers who were not in the least bit queasy about what its intricate plates revealed nor about pirating this seminal work. \nPublished at a time when physicians were still arguing about the best place to do their bloodletting\, De humani was a leap forward in anatomical understanding. \nYou’ll want to join us in the operating theatre as Russell Johnson\, Curator for History of Medicine and the Sciences at UCLA Special Collections peels back (so to speak) the story of this remarkable publication and introduces you to the John A. Benjamin collection. \nIt’s a tale of first editions\, superb printing\, collecting twists and turns\, booksellers’ correspondence and invoices\, an oil painting with a curious history\, and even a later volume with a provenance that may not be providential. You’ll also learn about how collecting Vesaliana continues today\, with unlikely prizes that range from comic books to postage stamps. \nDon’t wait for this session to fill or you may wind up registering in vein! \nZoom presentation is free and open to all. \nZoom begins at 12:00PM CT/1:00 PM ET. Preregistration required via website. \nPlease forward this notice to anyone who may find it of interest. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: Mara Frazier on Capturing Dance on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nFree and Open to the Public  Dec 12\, 6:00pm Eastern time \nRegister for Zoom link here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-lecture-mara-frazier-on-capturing-dance-on-paper-tickets-719361358187?aff=ebdsoporgprofile \nTranslating the evanescent art of dance into textual form presents a unique dilemma—how to capture a time-based\, corporeal art form into writing? Throughout history\, dance documentarians have devised intricate methods of notation and used varied material formats to represent movement practices\, whether ballet choreography or sports and physical therapy. Printing technology\, movement techniques\, and aesthetics all influenced physical formats for the description and transmission of movement information. This presentation\, by Mara Frazier\, Curator of Dance and Movement at the Lawrence and Lee Theatre Research Institute\, Thompson Library Special Collections\, The Ohio State University\, will delve into resources from the Institute’s rich holdings on dance. Highlights include the archives of New York City’s Dance Notation Bureau as well as papers of prominent dance notators\, choreographers\, and dance researchers. A selection including treatises\, handwritten notes\, sketches\, and manuscripts will exemplify types of materials texts that have historically been used to document dance\, highlighting nontraditional forms such as scrolls\, booklets\, and floor tiles made for readers in motion. Frazier will navigate the evolution and use of these items to offer insight on the form and function of documents of dance. Attendees can expect to gain a deeper appreciation of a variety of methods for dance description and transmission and for the challenges of dance preservation. \nThis is a live webcast.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: French Novelist's Return from History's Dustbin
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nFree and Open to the Public on Zoom: Dec 7\, 6:00pm Eastern time \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-lecture-french-novelists-return-from-historys-dustbin-tickets-719361448457?aff=ebdsoporgprofile \nThe French 19th-century writer Fanny Reybaud has been relegated to the dustbin of literary history\, even in her homeland\, but not necessarily due to lack of talent. Her works included short stories\, poems and 30 novels\, which were translated into English\, Spanish\, and even Arabic during her lifetime. Her popularity rivaled that of her contemporary\, George Sand. Grolier member Barbara Basbanes Richter will lecture on detective work about Reybaud. The lecture pieces together the author’s successes and failures\, both personal and professional; other authors who exploited the lack of clear and consistent plagiarism laws in 19th-century France by claiming her work as their own; and hypotheses as to why Reybaud’s books faded from favor. This presentation will also explore Reybaud’s crowning literary achievement\, Mademoiselle de Malepeire\, recently translated into English by Barbara Basbanes Richter for the first time in over 160 years. Set on the eve of the French Revolution\, it is a story told through the voices of various men who know\, love\, and hate a misunderstood woman who reads forbidden books in secret and then acts upon her primal impulses. Readers\, however\, will recognize an author examining female identity and independence in a slim\, well-executed\, and highly readable volume. Barbara Basbanes Richter founded DIYBook\, an affordable and easy-to-use book writing program\, and In Ink Ghostwriting\, helping politicians\, pundits\, scientists\, CEOs\, professional athletes\, and others get their stories into print. Her work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal\, New York Daily News\, Fine Books & Collections\, and The Sewanee Review\, among other outlets. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Tour and Curator Q&A: The Best-Read Army in the World
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nVirtual Tour of “Best Read Army” followed by a live Q&A with curator Molly Guptill Manning via Zoom. \nDuring World War II\, one of the most important weapons U.S. troops wielded was the written word. At a time when propaganda and censorship choked free thought\, the U.S. military fought against these repressions by disseminating over one billion books\, magazines\, and newspapers to troops worldwide. “As popular as pin-up girls\,” these publications provided an escape from war\, information that would diffuse falsehoods\, and reminders of home. Reading was so prevalent among the troops that the New York Post declared that the United States had “the best-read army in the world.” \nOn display at the Grolier Club are the panoply of publications read by America’s foot soldiers during World War II. Small\, lightweight\, and ubiquitous\, these literary novelties include miniaturized versions of popular magazines and newspapers\, propaganda leaflets\, and the smallest mass-produced paperbacks in history\, the “Armed Services Editions.” With these books tucked in their pockets\, American soldiers invaded Europe bearing titles and authors that had been banned and burned by the Nazis. When Congress attempted to ban certain books from the military\, troops and the American public vehemently resisted\, and the law was swiftly amended. Words were weapons\, and the best way to fight repressions was to read. \nRegister for the Virtual Tour: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-tour-and-curator-qa-the-best-read-army-in-the-world-tickets-686572967227?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

SUMMARY:A Collection of Early English Books: Reading in the Age of Shakespeare
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Paul Chrzanowski\, book collector \nBook collector Paul Chrzanowski donated his collection of nearly 150 early English books to the UCLA William Andrews Clark Memorial Library. \nThe collection includes copies of the second and fourth folio editions of Shakespeare’s collected plays (1632 and 1685); plays extracted from the first and third folios; Robert Allott’s England’s Parnassus (1600) with Shakespeare excerpts; and a quarto play\, Parts 2 and 3 of Henry the Sixth (1619). \nThe presentation is not focused on these works. Rather it introduces books on wide-ranging topics that illustrate readers’ interests at the time—highlighting from the collection books of importance\, books of great rarity\, books with special provenance\, and oddities. This presentation explores “books that Shakespeare might have read.” \nZoom registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_I8svYdg-QQydxjhE_dCpGA

SUMMARY:Book Anatomy: The Body Politics of Indigenous Book History
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \n\n\nDr. Amy Gore\, assistant professor of English at North Dakota State University\, will discuss the connections between books\, bodies\, and Indigenous book history at the release of her latest monograph\, Book Anatomy: Body Politics and the Materiality of Indigenous Book History (University of Massachusetts Press\, 2023). From a book’s “spine” to its “appendix\,” bibliographers use a language of the body that reveals our intimate connection with books. Yet books do more than describe bodies—they embody a frontline of colonization in which Indigenous authors battle the public perception and reception of Indigenous peoples. Starting with John Rollin Ridge’s The Life and Adventures of Joaquín Murieta (1854) as the first novel published by a Native author and moving to other first entries of Indigenous literary production\, Amy Gore calls attention to the negotiations between books and bodies embedded within Indigenous literary history. Bringing Indigenous book history more firmly into conversations with mainstream narratives about the history of the book\, her research claims books themselves as a source of embodied power for early Native American authors. \nModerated by Erin McGuirl\, Executive Director\, Bibliographical Society of America

SUMMARY:FABS Bindings Zoom Group
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by FABS \nNOVEMBER 20 \nThe Bindings special interest group meets at 4:30-5:50pm Pacific/7:30-8:50pm Eastern on the third Monday of the month. \nTHE TREVELYAN MISCELLANY WITH PETER GERATY \nJoin FABS members interested in Bindings for a Presentation and Discussion about the Trevelyon Miscellany with Peter Geraty. The facsimile limited edition Trevelyon Miscellany was printed and bound to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Folger Shakespeare Library. Of the edition of two thousand\, fifty were bound by hand in velvet at Praxis Bindery over the winter of 2006 – 2007. The project involved rethinking how one can bind an edition of books. New methods had to be developed to handle a large volume like this\, such as sewing a “case binding” on raised cords. Old methods for stamping on velvet had to be rediscovered. \nThis program will not be recorded. \nThe FABS Special Interest Group: Binding meets every third Monday of the month ~ \nTo receive a link contact Jennifer Larson at info@fabsocieties.org

SUMMARY:I. B. Singer's 'Writings on Yiddish & Yiddishkayt'
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \n\n\nScholars David Stromberg and Aaron Lansky will discuss a new book\,Isaac Bashevis Singer’s Writings on Yiddish and Yiddishkayt\, The War Years\, 1939-1945 (White Goat Press). November 11 would have been the 120th birthday of the late Nobel Prize winner Isaac Bashevis Singer. This collection\, edited and translated by David Stromberg\, editor of the Singer Literary Trust\, is the first in a three-volume series. It features 25 essays that Singer\, then relatively unknown\, originally published under pseudonyms in the Forverts\, the world’s oldest Yiddish newspaper. The book’s chronological arrangement reveals shifts in Singer’s perspective as history unfolded. He was driven to write in an urgent tone as a whole world\, a way of life\, a cultural treasure bound up with Yiddish and Yiddishkayt\, were all going up in flames. For this event\, some of Singer’s original Yiddish works from the Yiddish Book Center’s collection will be on display along with an important artifact of Singer’s earliest work. \nDavid Stromberg\, the Jerusalem-based editor of the Isaac Bashevis Singer Literary Trust\, has written books including Narrative Faith: Dostoevsky\, Camus\, and Singer (University of Delaware Press) and Idiot Love and the Elements of Intimacy (Palgrave Macmillan)\, and he edited a collection of Singer’s essays\, Old Truths and New Clichés (Princeton University Press) and a children’s story collection\, In the Land of Happy Tears: Yiddish Tales for Modern Times (Delacorte). He has contributed fiction\, journalism\, personal essays\, scholarly research\, and translations of Singer’s work to The New Yorker\, Los Angeles Review of Books\, American Scholar\, and American Journal of Psychoanalysis\, among other outlets. He will be in conversation with Aaron Lansky\, founder and president of the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst\, Mass.\, a nonprofit organization working to recover\, celebrate\, and regenerate Yiddish and modern Jewish literature and culture. White Goat Press\, the Center’s imprint\, publishes newly translated work in all genres of fiction and nonfiction. The Center grew out of Lansky’s discovery in the late 1970s of vast numbers of Yiddish books being discarded by younger Jews who could not read their ancestors’ language. Since his first public appeal for unwanted Yiddish books in 1980\, when scholars believed just 70\,000 volumes were extant and recoverable\, more than a million volumes have been gathered at the Center. Lansky has earned degrees from Hampshire College\, McGill University\, Amherst College\, the State University of New York\, and Hebrew Union College; received a so-called “genius grant” from the MacArthur Foundation in 1989; and wrote a bestseller in 2005\, Outwitting History: The Amazing Adventures of a Man Who Rescued a Million Yiddish Books. \n\nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-lecture-i-b-singers-writings-on-yiddish-yiddishkayt-tickets-626559766127?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

SUMMARY:FABS Handpress Zoom: David Levy on The Game of Trictrac and Eugene Flamm on Vigo's 1514 Practica in arte chirurgica
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by FABS \nThe FABS Handpress Zoom Group meets the second Monday of the month from 7:30-8:30pm Eastern to discuss printed works before 1800. All are welcome. \nDavid Levy: Three Pairs of Books on the Game of Trictrac?\nTrictrac is a French game played on a backgammon board\, popular from the early 17th century into the 19th. It has a rich literature of instructional books\, often charmingly illustrated. With the premise that looking at two books side-by-side can reveal more than looking at each individually\, David Levy will share three pairs of books on the game of trictrac from the 18th century. The focus will be on the publishing and reading history of the books rather than on the game itself. \nEugene Flamm: A Question of Priority Concerning the 1514 Edition of Giovanni da Vigo’s Practica in arte chirurgica.\nThe presentation will focus on two differing issues of the 1514 work by Giovanni da Vigo- Practica in arte chirurgica that appeared on the same day from the same printer but with differences in format and appearance.  This book is one of the major surgical works between that of Guy de Chauliac in the XIVth Century and the mid- XVIth Century.  It is hoped that the group attending the session will be able to generate an opinion as to the priority of these two issues as well as an explanation for publication of two issues of the work on the same day. \nTo register and receive a link\, contact Jennifer Larson at info@fabsocieties.org \n
