Abstract:
In this essay, I will analyze William Wordsworth's commonplace book, DC MS26, alongside his poetic and critical statements on the idea of the commonplace in order to reevaluate his stance on book reading, especially on the role of books in rural life. Although his actual commonplace book is relatively sparse, including several dozen entries made over an eight-year period, it illuminates a profound curiosity about the figurative affordances of commonplace books. In the Essays upon Epitaphs, his longest and most sustained work of literary criticism, Wordsworth develops a deeply textual model of rural community enabled by the idea that the country churchyard is a kind of commonplace book. With its collection of homely epitaphs accessible to anyone who visits, the country churchyard emblematizes a mode of bookishness unalienated from rural life.

Abstract:
Abstract Although much has been written about the history of commonplacing, there is a lack of evidence-based research to show the extent to which this historical practice may still be valuable today as a pedagogy that educates citizens in critical reading for democracy. This article describes an institutional-review-board-approved, experimental study to answer this question. Three sections of the same first-year reading and writing course were compared: one section did not use commonplace books, a second section used commonplace books that included quotations only, and a third section used commonplace books with reflective writing. We expected to find that students who used commonplace books would perform better in end-of-study assessments than those who did not. Instead, we were surprised to find that many of the students who were not required to use commonplace books created their own note-taking methods that performed a similar function. In essence, they developed their own commonplace book culture and methodology using Google Docs and other social reading practices. Their performance was as strong as the students who used commonplace books.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper offers a detailed case study of Mary Booth as book owner and book user using two primary sources: her surviving library and her commonplace books. Booth’s fastidious approach to marking her books, coupled with the fortunate survival of the two houses where those books ultimately came to rest, allows for the reconstruction of her library almost in its entirety. Her commonplace books present an unusually rich record of her reading. Together, these sources offer a rare insight into the life, education, and book use of an early eighteenth-century gentlewoman, a rare comparator against which other women’s collections and habits of reading can be assessed.

Abstract:
The commonplace book has long provided readers-turned-writers space for textual reflection. In A New Method of Making Common-Place-Books, John Locke asserts a defined schema for the creation of this intentionally usable and personal genre, one more organic than journaling, more deliberate than note-taking. Despite renewed interest in literary ephemera of this sort, the commonplace book collectively remains on the periphery of literary studies, perhaps because the volumes found in today’s libraries reflect such varied experiences. However, it is precisely this variation that reveals insight to the readerly patterns and expectations of the time. Ranging from decorative flourishes and echoes of printers’ marks to richly scrolled title pages and evocative vignettes, the materiality of the commonplace book offered in these moments signals a heightened concern by readers to consider the visual potential of the text as part of their reading experience. This analysis looks at scattered remnants of eighteenth-century commonplace books for compelling examples of image and text relationships that reflect illustrative models from the print market.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates cognition and knowledge in a rich selection of late medieval Florentine commonplace books (zibaldoni) and diaries (ricordanze) with a special focus on Giovanni Rucellai’s Zibaldone Quaresimale. In Chapter Two a new methodology, named Mental Model Framework in History (MMFH), is elaborated. By studying mental processes such as categorisation and decision making, MMFH enables us to study cognition in historical documents. The dissertation is based on a computer-assisted analysis described in Chapter Three . This has brought together a number of technologies (Natural Language Processing, Semantic Web, Text Encoding Initiative) and used them according to the interpretative goals of the MMFH. Chapter Four investigates the knowledge-constructing practice of late medieval Florentines, and concludes that commonplace books and diaries were tools of information management and knowledge transmission. The core chapters study four domains of thinking: space, time, agency and perception. Chapter Five analyses social recognition and judgement in Renaissance Florence and reveals how a new ethical thought took shape, one that prepared the transition to capitalism. By applying decision and game theory, Chapter Six examines horizontal friendship, a bond that functioned as an informal but risky social insurance in Florence. Chapter Seven studies how Florentines used superlatives to construct a hierarchy of the world, with Florence on the top. This was the manifestation of a fierce competition within and outside the walls of Florence, competition that strongly influenced the social and physical environment of the city. By studying selection, periodisation and causal reasoning, Chapter Eight pinpoints the gradual secularisation of the conception of time. The thesis concludes that the late medieval revolution in information culture marked by the gradual transition from an overwhelmingly oral culture to an increasingly literate culture produced quantitative and qualitative changes in human thought. This largely contributed to the birth of modern thought, and to the late medieval transformation of the social and physical environment.

Full text
Abstract:
This study concerns the manuscript music book of Robert Edward (c. 1614–c. 1697), minister, author and musician. The manuscript, formerly part of the library at Panmure House, is now held in the National Library of Scotland and is commonly referred to as ‘Robert Edward’s Commonplace Book’ (GB-En MS.9450). The present study is in two parts and begins with an exploration of the physical book, including the structure, compilation, hands and ownership before a second chapter explores the biography of the eponymous owner, contextualising GB-En MS.9450 locally and nationally. The third chapter concerns the function of the manuscript which, it is argued, is closely related to pedagogy. The final three chapters discuss the content of the manuscript, taking in turn the vocal music, instrumental music and the selection of Italian three-part villanelle.

Abstract:
Notre étude montre que la rhétorique de Montaigne emprunte à la méthode des lieux communs qui relève du programme scolaire du XVIe siècle, ainsi qu’au concept rhétorique de loci communes.La première partie décrit l’histoire et l’évolution du concept de locus et des loci communes depuis l’Antiquité jusqu’à la Renaissance. En analysant la théorie rhétorique et pédagogique d’Érasme et de Mélanchthon nous préciserons les mécanismes de la composition d’un recueil de lieux communs et l’influence portant sur la rhétorique de la Renaissance.La seconde partie présente d’abord la pratique des citations chez Montaigne, envisageant ensuite la disposition des Essais, dont le désordre nous rappelle le genre des miscellanées. Nous aborderons enfin la mise en œuvre chez Montaigne des loci communes hérités de l’art oratoire traditionnel, ce qui nous montrera une belle contribution de la rhétorique au scepticisme.La dernière partie place Les Essais dans le contexte historique et rhétorique de la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle. Nous aborderons la brièveté du style chez Montaigne, en rapport avec sa préférence pour les auteurs de l’Âge d’argent, et dégagerons l’intention et l’objectif d’écriture de l’essayiste, qui permettent de distinguer Les Essais des recueils de son temps<br>Our study shows that Montaigne’s rhetoric has some relationships with commonplace-book method, which constitute an important part of school curriculum in the Sixteenth Century, and with the concept of loci communes.The first part describes the history and evolution of rhetorical concept, locus and loci communes, from antiquity to the Renaissance. After studying theories for rhetorical education written by Erasmus and Melanchthon, we outline precisely the mechanism, function and influence of commonplace-books.The second part makes analysis of the use of quotations in the Essays. Montaigne compose them with random order so that the Essays get close to miscellanies. We examine also the use of loci communes of traditional rhetoric in the Essays. Montaigne shows us a fine collaboration of rhetoric and skepticism in the chapter of « Apology of Raimond de Sebonde ». The last part places the Essays on the historical context of the second-half of sixteenth century. We envisage particularly Montaigne’s brevity of style in relation to his preference for writers of the Silver-Latin. Finally, we wish to make it clear Montaigne’s intention and objective of writing, which allow to distinguish the Essays from Commonplace-Books

Abstract:
En 1571 paraît, à Paris, Le Parnasse des poètes françois modernes – œuvre conçue comme un recueil de lieux communs, en vers, par Gilles Corrozet. Si la conception intellectuelle et esthétique du Parnasse revient à Gilles Corrozet (qui meurt en 1568), c’est néanmoins à son fils, Galliot Corrozet, que nous en devons l’édition en 1571, en 1572 et – surtout – en 1578. Gilles Corrozet y illustre, à travers plus d’une quarantaine de poètes français allant de la génération marotique à celle de la Pléiade, à la fois l’espace et le temps de la poésie française du XVIe siècle ; il y compile ainsi près de 400 fragments poétiques retenus pour leur saveur gnomique. En 1578, Galliot amplifie l’ouvrage de plus de 140 fragments venus des nouveaux talents des années 1570 (Desportes, Jamyn, De Brach…). Au sein de l’œuvre se crée ainsi une tension entre générations poétiques, entre la volonté de les compiler fidèlement et de les réécrire, afin de promouvoir par l’art poétique l’exercice éthique des « Amateurs des Muses et de Vertu ». L’édition critique de cette œuvre entend ainsi enquêter sur la culture allégorique choisie par Gilles Corrozet — le premier à désigner sous ce nom un recueil poétique en français — pour donner corps à cette République des Lettres<br>In 1571 is published Le Parnasse des poètes françois modernes in Paris – a work conceived as a commonplace-book, in verse, by Gilles Corrozet. The Parnasse's intellectual and aesthetic conception comes from Gilles Corrozet (who died in 1568), yet we owe to his son, Galliot Corrozet, the edition of 1571, of 1572 and – especially – of 1578. Gilles Corrozet illustrates there, through more than forty French poets ranging from the Marotic generation to that of the Pléiade, both the space and the time of 16th-century French poetry. He compiled nearly 400 poetic fragments picked for their gnomic flavor. In 1578 Galliot amplified the work with more than 140 fragments from new talents of the 1570s (Desportes, Jamyn, De Brach…). The work thus creates a tension between poetic generations, between the desire to compile them faithfully and to rewrite them, in order to promote through poetic art the ethical exercise of "Lovers of Muses and Virtue". The critical edition of this work intends to investigate the allegorical culture chosen by Gilles Corrozet – the first to give this name to a poetic collection in French – in order to give body to this Republic of Letters

Abstract The final chapter argues that mourners turned to commonplace books to build a sense of presence by deploying tropes of representation developed at the intersection of album and commonplace-book cultures. I focus on Alfred Lord Tennyson’s Butcher’s Books—long, thin, accounting books customarily used by butchers—which, I submit are both commonplace book and literary draft because, as a poet, Tennyson chose to organize commonplaces in stanzas that ultimately became In Memoriam. Tennyson’s Butcher’s Books absorb commonplace-book culture formally and also thematically, as Tennyson circulated commonplaces in his elegy and modeled a strategy of reading extractions as metonymic representations of the dead. This chapter also investigates less well-known collections including those kept by Tennyson’s daughter-in-law, Audrey Tennyson; the Hallam family; and Queen Victoria, who recorded extracts from In Memoriam that she associated with Prince Albert.

Abstract This chapter argues that commonplace books were socially resonant spaces, where friends imagined, recorded, and negotiated relationships. I focus on how socially embedded knowledge takes shape in collaboratively produced Romantic manuscripts at the intersection of album and commonplace-book cultures. For example, the coterie surrounding John Keats and Leigh Hunt cultivated an ethos of community that made their commonplace books socially resonant spaces. Keats’s family collected samples of his handwriting while Leigh Hunt arranged samples of hair (including John Milton’s). This chapter ends with a study of 18 commonplace books kept by the “Sisterhood of Slade” (and their frequent companions, John Hamilton Reynolds, Benjamin Bailey, and James Rice), analyzing them as repositories of an embodied and situational knowledge.

Abstract This chapter explores how the commonplace book came to be seen as a vital tool for maintaining objectivity in the laboratory. Two figures in particular—Humphry Davy and Michael Faraday—exemplify the changing conceptions of what it meant to study science in the nineteenth century. Nowhere is this more visible than in their commonplace books. This chapter begins with the imaginative, loose-formed collections of Humphry Davy, and ends with the systematic, empirical notes of Michael Faraday. Humphry Davy recorded observations while high on nitrous oxide and interspersed notes with doodles and poetry. By contrast, Michael Faraday advocated for “real-time” entries and ordered his notes with indexes and general topics. While Faraday originally adhered to Locke’s method, as his career advanced, he experimented with new forms of ordering information, including his “cut-and-paste” index.

Abstract:
Abstract Throughout his life, Samuel Taylor Coleridge kept what he called “memorandum or common-place books” (along with other inventive titles such as “Volatilia” and “Fly-Catchers”). This chapter argues that Coleridge’s seventy-two surviving notebooks should be re-evaluated as part of the commonplace tradition. I explore Coleridge’s training in classical rhetoric as a student and his earliest commonplace books; then, I turn to his Lake District commonplace books with their loco-descriptive contents; third, I examine his dealings with philosophy and his struggle to find a form for his notes on transcendental idealism; and finally, I look to his religious notes in the “Fly-Catchers” and the aphoristic form, which he theorized as a way to revitalize commonplaces.

Abstract:
Aim/Purpose: In this paper we wish to present a new direction for the instruction of a Principles of Programming Languages (PPL) course. Background: Teaching PPL using the standard curriculum found that the students do not understand the overall concepts, getting lost in the abundance of minute details. We needed a way to emphasize the higher level constructs important to this body of knowledge. Methodology: This is a course description paper, describing how we instruct a PPL course at our college. Contribution: To share with the CS education community the approach we developed to effectively teach the very important PPL course. Findings: Using the integrative approach presented, we believe that • relative to the previous, and commonplace, PPL teaching approach, this is a very effective and successful way for conveying this important subject matter, and • our new teaching approach gave the students a professional maturity that they lacked before they took the course. Recommendations for Practitioners: Do not be scared to experiment with new ways of teaching. Do not think that you must teach the way the books tell it. If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. Future Research: All our insights about the use of the presented teaching approach are non-empirical. Future research should thoroughly analyze the results from teach-ing/learning theories points of view using standard CSE techniques.

Abstract:
The architecture design process always changes because the software always updates with new tools and the development - innovation is in the first line of progress. The human-machine cooperation has become commonplace through Computer-Aided Design tools, but a more improved collaboration appears possible only through an endeavor into a kind of artificial design intelligence and Augmented Reality. According to all the above, the research shown in this paper the core ideas - identifying design specifications - of a next-generation collaborative design platform. The direct coupling of introducing multi-industry systems - tools, 3D databases, AEC, and Open-BIM technologies opens up totally new ways of approaching architectural design problems resulting in a new flexible modeling workflow with real-time visualization. Finally, this critical examination research makes an original contribution to changing 'attitude' towards the 3d modeling of architectural design thinking. A collaborative design platform creating a more efficient and versatile architecture.
