Rhetoric and Renewal in the Latin West 1100-1540
The essays in this volume, presented in honour of John O. Ward, explore the role of rhetoric in promoting reform and renewal in the Latin West from Peter Abelard (1079-1142) to Juan Luis Vives (1492-1540). Ward, who has taught for many years at the University of Sydney, has been an influential and creative force in medieval and Renaissance studies both in Australia and internationally. This volume opens with a personal memoir and bibliography of Ward's publications, as well as an overview of the study of medieval rhetoric.

Notebook of John Ward
A continuation of the three previous volumes (Folger MS V.a.290-V.a.292). Medical and general diary kept during Ward's first years as vicar and medical practitioner in Stratford-upon-Avon (with visits to Oxford and London). Many notes on his patients and himself, with some on parochial and borough affairs (e.g. the fate of the College after the Dissolution). Refers to conversations in London with Robert Morison ("Dr. Modesy") and Edward Morgan on botany, and with Peter Stahl on chemistry; also conversations with Richard Lower on anatomical research at Oxford. Notes about the therapies of Oxford practitioners, especially Thomas Willis. He describes a journey into Worcestershire, Shropshire and Staffordshire with John Trapp, the master of the grammar school, and as before several gardens he saw, e.g. the Kings garden extraordinary and Sir Thomas Leigh's incomparable one; he seems to have been particularly struck by the novelty of lime trees. He also mentions Mr. Quiney and his iron mill and some court news ("Inquire who that prince William is who is so much talked of in the Low Countries"). Extracts from Willis' Cerebri anatome and Marchamont Needham's Medela medicinae.
