	Society of Antiquaries of London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Society of Antiquaries of London is a learned society, based in the United Kingdom, concerned with "the encouragement, advancement and furtherance of the study and knowledge of the antiquities and history of this and other countries".
		An antiquary was a person interested in the study of the past, particularly the physical traces of the past.
		A precursor organisation, the College of Antiquaries, was founded in 1586 and functioned largely as a debating society until it was forbidden to do so by James I in 1614.

	Corpus Christi College
		Foundation of a college: unusually, Corpus was formed by townspeople, members of two Cambridge guilds - the Guild of Corpus Christi and the Guild of the Blessed Virgin Mary, primarily to train priests.
		College rules: New rules in 1573 require that Latin is spoken at all times during Full Term, or a scholar would be "subject to the heaviest penalties for speaking English." Being "beaten at the buttery hatch" - was a regular punishment for various misdemeanors.
		An extraordinarily cold winter resulted in the gradual extension of the college central heating system; the choir became mixed, women were gradually allowed into college to dine, and, most importantly, in 1963 a bar was opened on the bottom of C-staircase.

	College of Arms
		The aim of the newsletter is to keep interested members of the public up-to-date with the activities of the College of Arms and its officers, including matters of genealogical and heraldic significance such as recent grants of arms and recently recorded pedigrees.
		This means, for instance, that the adopted sons of an Earl will be accorded the prefix designation of ‘Honourable’ and the adopted daughters of an Earl that of ‘Lady’, used in front of their Christian names.
		The lecture covered such topics as the disputes between the sixteenth-century kings of arms, the granting of crests to women in the Tudor period and the question of the species of bird represented in the arms of the College of Arms itself.

	Trinity College, Cambridge: catalogue of medieval manuscripts
		The manuscripts in the Library of Trinity College are kept in three locked classes, designated respectively as B, R, and O. Class B is situated near the southern end of the Library, on the east side; class R is directly opposite to it; and class O is on the east side, near the north end.
		This second volume of the catalogue of the Western Manuscripts in the Library of Trinity College comprises those standing in Class R. In subject they are highly miscellaneous, comprising as they do all the books that could not be classed as theological in virtue of their principal contents.
		I desire therefore your acceptance of them for the use of the College, and that they may be reposited all together in one of the Classes of your Library, and that you will be pleased to give such orders for their safety as you may judge necessary and convenient.

	ALA \| C&RL, November 1997, Vol. 58, No. 6, Myers book review
		The title of the concluding essay by Bernard Nurse is fully descriptive: "The Library of the Society of Antiquaries of London: Acquiring Antiquaries Books over Three Centuries." In recounting the history of the societys library, the author argues persuasively that a vibrant library will attract great collections, which in turn will attract other great collections.
		Anthony Rota, in "Bookselling in a Changing World," an essay in the Encyclopedia of the Book (1996), says that private collectors have displaced institutions as the major force in collecting since the late 1960s and that their collections are rich in areas that traditionally have been ignored by academic institutions.
		An active relationship with these modern "antiquaries" increases the likelihood that they will give their collections to libraries after they have stopped actively building them.

	Cork
		University College, Cork (founded 1845) is a constituent university of the National University of Ireland.
		One of the broader thematic questions to be addressed is the extent to which the collections may be viewed as representing the roles that could be played by universities in the process of colonization and in formulating an ethnographic-based view of the outside world.
		The fact that the College was itself located in a colonized country makes the this aspect of the collection even more interesting.

	§26. Baker’s collections: his "History of St. John’s College, Cambridge". XIII. Scholars and ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Thomas Baker, non-juring fellow of St. John’s college, Cambridge, added to accurate and wide knowledge the character of unselfish readiness to communicate to others his stores of learning.
		He made extensive collections towards a history of the university of Cambridge, including an Athenae Cantabrigienses; but, with the exception of the admirable history of his college, published, with large additions, by J. Mayor in 1869, the forty-two folio volumes in Baker’s remarkable hand-writing still remain in manuscript.
		His Reflections on Learning, which appeared anonymously in 1700 and went through seven editions, brought him considerable credit at the time, but is now happily forgotten.

	1707 - London - Society of Antiquaries of London - History of Scholarly Societies
		This date is supported by p.74 of Hume, which indicates that the antecedents of this society were found in meetings that Archibishop Parker began in 1572, but which eventually became secret because of the fear of persecution by King James I (who reigned in England from 1603 to 1625).
		The Society of Antiquaries of London website gives a somewhat different account of their antecedents, tracing their origins to 1586 and the foundation of the College of Antiquaries.
		This location is supported by Hume (at least from 1751), where Hume indicates on p.75 that the name given the Society by George II on its incorporation in 1751 was Society of Antiquaries of London.

	The Study of Celtic Languages
		Once the Indo-European nature of the Celtic languages (and especially their close connection with the Italic branch) were discovered by Bopp and Zeuss in the early 19th century, scholarly study began at German universities and elsewhere on the continent, and in the British Isles (Oxford and Cambridge).
		Journals were founded (Zeitschrift für Celtische Philologie, Etudes Celtiques, Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Eriu) and systematic attention began to be devoted to recovering, editing, and translating manuscript material in the Celtic languages.
		Great impetus was given to Celtic Studies by the founding of the Royal University of Ireland in 1880, later (1908) renamed the National University of Ireland, and, after Ireland became independent (1922), by the establishment of the Irish Folklore Commission and the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.
