To illustrate how we\u2019ve been counting down days, I couldn\u2019t resist putting together a little welcome slide for Professor Antony McKenna who is due to speak on his work as editor of the Correspondance de Pierre Bayle<\/em>\u00a0in Oxford’s Faculty of History at 4 p.m. today<\/a>. It concerns\u00a0a detail from a letter of 7 July 1696<\/a> from Edward Bernard<\/a> \u2014\u00a0Oxford\u2019s Savilian Professor of Astronomy \u2014 \u00a0to Thomas Smith<\/a>, the orientalist, antiquary, and librarian, who was formerly at Magdalen College, Oxford, but who, by 1696, was\u00a0living in Soho’s Dean Street at a house belonging to his fellow nonjuror Hilkiah Bedford and was working as unofficial librarian for Sir John Cotton (the grandson of Sir Robert Cotton, founder of the Cotton library). Before signing off, Bernard noted to his friend \u2018Bayles Dictionary is daylie expected from Roterdam.\u2019 \u00a0Sadly Bernard died six months after this letter was dispatched, and although I’ve not had time to find out whether the dictionary made it\u00a0to Oxford as soon as he expected, we can but hope.<\/p>\n

And now we’re all looking forward just as eagerly to Professor McKenna’s talk this afternoon. Anyone interested in the scholarly work that is the bedrock of a complete critical edition will be most welcome to join us (for full details please see my previous post<\/a>). Should you not be be able to make it, Professor McKenna has kindly agreed that the lecture may be recorded and a podcast made available \u2014 I’ll keep you informed of the details regarding its release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
