‎Message in a Bottle. Merchants' letters, merchants' marks and conflict management in 1533-34. A source edition‎

‎Summary In 1533, a batch of merchants' letters was to be delivered from Antwerp to London. They never reached their destination, and were only opened in a Hanseatic archive almost 500 years later. Like a message in a bottle, the letters unfold unknown individual stories and large-scale drama. They offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of the early 16th century, from hard-nosed business and prices in code sent to a wife, to the fond greetings of an English father to his three young sons or a secretive message of a grandmother from Antwerp. At the backdrop, war was looming: the letters were part of a booty taken in the English Channel in August of 1533. L beck privateers plundered six neutral ships, carting the goods of English, Dutch, Spanish, Venetian and Hanseatic merchants off to L beck and Hamburg. As a result, Henry VIII of England exploded with rage and restitution claims were made. Soon after, L beck realized the potential political cost of the action and an administrative machinery for the return of the booty was set in motion. Extensive documentation was produced under the eye of notaries, providing an overview of properties of the involved parties, including many merchant marks. The combination of unique letters and administrative documents offers new openings into the study of economic, political and social history of pre-modern northern Europe. Highlights are the migration of people and goods, resourceful conflict management and the voice of ordinary people, captured in their letters. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

‎The exceedingly rare second edition (the first being from 1586) of Roger’s somewhat free translation of ‘Papist’ Diego de Estalla’s work “Libro de la vanidad del mundo (Toledo, 1562). Roger’s admit that he had no access to the original but had to use the Itanlian and Spanish translations. This present English translation, however, is of significant interest since recent research suggests it was a source and inspiration for Shakespeare’s ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’: At the opening of ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’, the vow to renounce worldly pleasure has barely been announced before one of Navarre’s book-men declares his success: “Dumaine is mortified” (I.i.28). This ‘mortified’ is not a word Shakespeare would use often. It appears here in the sense of ‘having the appetites and passions in subjection’ and insensible or impervious to (the world and its pleasures), the latter informing Dumaine’s gloss: ‘To love, to wealth, to pomp. I pine and die’. The fact that this is the earliest use of ‘mortified’ in the Shakespearean canon is the first clue that one of the sources for Love’s Labour’s Lost was Thomas Roger’s A Methode unto Mortification, published in London in 1586 and again in 1608. Shakespeare’s pleasure in frustrating the ambitions of this book went some way to shaping his play”. (Kingsley-Smith, A Method unto Mortification: A New Source for Love’s Labour’s Lost). ""Love's Labour's Lost"" is one of William Shakespeare's early comedies, believed to have been written in the mid-1590s. The play revolves around the King of Navarre and three of his noble companions who make a pact to swear off women and focus on scholarly pursuits for three years. However, their resolve is tested when the Princess of France and her entourage arrive on a diplomatic mission. Each of the men falls in love with one of the women, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings, romantic entanglements, and wordplay. “It is also possible that some facts about the original author sparked Shakespeare’s interest. Diego de Estella was born in Navarre, and spent time the court of Philip II of Spain before incurring disapproval for his criticism of court life and being forced into a Franciscan monastery. Armado, the braggart and clown of Love’s Labour’s Lost, is the first Spaniard to appear in Shakespeare”. (Kingsley-Smith, A Method unto Mortification: A New Source for Love’s Labour’s Lost).‎

‎8 pp.Seulement deux exemplaires au CCF (BnF et BIUM). Très rare analyse chimique et pharmaceutique (Exposé des principes et vertus de l'eau d'une source découverte à Vaugirard dans le jardin de M. Le Meunnié), donnée par le grand chimiste et apothicaire Guillaume-François Rouelle (1703-1770), qui avait donné par ailleurs une analyse des l'eau minérale de Passy.Ici, on a affaire de surcroît à une pure supercherie commerciale, à la vie longue : le propriétaire d'un domaine sis sur l'actuelle rue Blomet (XVIe arrondissement), un certain Lemeunié, construisit en 1764 une fontaine et aménagea un accès descendant fait de trente-six marches, y ajoutant cette même année 1769 un jardin d'agrément de presque 4 000 m2, pour recevoir les clients. Un prospectus vantait en même temps les vertus l'eau qui en sortait. L'eau, parfaitement plate, n'avait rien de minéral et la supercherie fut dénoncée par la Faculté dans un premier rapport le 15 avril 1765. L'exploitant sut cependant trouver des appuis en Cour, si bien que deux pavillons furent ajoutés à un bâtiment principal et la bonne affaire fut même vendue par les héritiers au peintre Jean-François Lhuillier le 4 août 1781. Le propriétaire suivant, monsieur Chapot, éleva un bâtiment de trois étages et, à chaque coin du jardin, quatre pavillons de cure où, en 1842, l'eau était encore distribuée soit au verre, sur place, soit en bouteille, à emporter.Il ne semble pas que Rouelle se soit laissé circonvenir pour cette nouvelle analyse, et il conclut : "Il en résulte que cette source ne contient aucun esprit minéral, ni soufre, ni principe martial, & qu'elle est exactement dans le même état que l'eau de puits qui est au bout du jardin. D'après cet examen, nous soussignés, ne croyons pas que l'eau de cette source mérite le nom d'eau minérale" ‎
