An Oration Upon the Most Recent Death of Christopher Columbus
Poetry. Once again available from SPD. will the italians go back to italy/ some have left already for other destinies/ eternal nomads who live in the wastes of australia/ or teaching chemistry in china/ many will stay however/ more comfortable as indians/ than ever they were as theoretical objects... Viscusi's ORATION was written in response to protests against the 1992 celebration of Columbus Day, and eloquently takes into account all the complexities and contradictions of the figure of Columbus. Kathryn Nocerino says, In Bob Viscusi's sumptuous, surreal, yet oddly persuasive design, Columbus continues to accumulate mileage after death... Indian and conqueror change places until America's identity becomes the last and strangest of riddles. Allen Ginsberg writes, Bob Viscusi's Columbus rhapsody is vivid vernacular voluble and full of nervous verve. Saddlestapled chapbook.
Print Culture and Peripheries in Early Modern Europe
Despite the fact that, if only by number, small and peripheral cities played an important role in fifteenth and sixteenth-century European print culture, book history has mainly been dominated by monographs on individual big book centres. Through a number of specific case studies, which deploy a variety of methods and a wide range of sources, this volume seeks to enhance our understanding of printing and the book trade in small and peripheral European cities in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and to emphasize the necessity of new research for the study of print culture in such cities.
A Study of the Gospels in Codex Alexandrinus
Codex Alexandrinus is one of the three earliest surviving entire Greek Bibles and is an important fifth-century witness to the Christian Scriptures, yet no major analysis of the codex has been performed in over a century. In A Study of the Gospels in Codex Alexandrinus W. Andrew Smith delivers a fresh and highly-detailed examination of the codex and its rich variety of features using codicology, palaeography, and statistical analysis. Among the highlights of this study, W. Andrew Smith’s work overturns the view that a single scribe was responsible for copying the canonical books of the New Testament and demonstrates that the orthographic patterns in the Gospels can no longer be used to argue for Egyptian provenance of the codex.
