Claude-Joseph Dorat’s Les Tourterelles de Zelmis
Claude-Joseph Dorat was a much-published author during, and for a decade or so after, his lifetime.

Sir Charles Nicholson and his book collections
Sir Charles Nicholson, first Chancellor of the University of Sydney, is known as a major benefactor of that institution both during his time in Australia (before 1862) and afterwards, up to and beyond his death in 1903. The paper looks first at the scattered records concerning the gifts and legacies of printed books and manuscripts. It then turns to the substantial library Nicholson dispersed at an auction sale in Melbourne in May 1861 and what c…

Cultural Networks in Pre-Revolutionary France
It can be disconcerting to be confronted with a text composed almost three and a half decades ago. In the present case reactions have to be mixed.
