Mirroring the “Long Reformation”: Translating Erasmus’ colloquies in early modern England

This article examines how printed English translations of Erasmus’ colloquies reflect the difference phases of the “Long Reformation” and the changing status and reputation of Erasmus within that as he shifts from being presented as proto-Reformer, to problematically orthodox, to irenic martyr. It traces how in the 1530s and 1540s, in the immediate aftermath of Henry VIII’s break from the Church of Rome, networks of evangelical translators, printers, and publishers used translations of Erasmus’ colloquies to advance their religious agenda, albeit – in those uncertain times – often hedging their confessionalism with anonymity or overt support for royal policy. These translations, accentuating the anti-clericalism of the Latin originals, set the tone for the Edwardian, Elizabethan, and Jacobean translations that followed. However, where Tudor translations habitually rely on paratext to shape readers’ response, those in the early Stuart period adapt the Erasmian text more freely, rewriting his orthodox soteriology along Calvinist lines, and – at the same time – reflecting fissures within the English Church: the opponents in the Jacobean versions are no longer simply “papists,” but also other, less-observant Protestants. After an apparent hiatus in English translations of Erasmus’ colloquies during the Civil War and interregnum, the Restoration and later seventeenth century saw a renewed boom. This final phase marks a retreat from harnessing Erasmus’ colloquies for sectarian purposes, as their translators variously promote Erasmus’ irenicism, or emphasise the literariness and literary antecedents of his colloquies. The article further explores a recurrent focus on reforming female behaviour as a necessary step towards achieving a godly commonweal

Prescription Drug Labeling Medication Errors: A Big Deal for Pharmacists

Today, in the health care profession, all types of medication errors including missed dose, wrong dosage forms, wrong time interval, wrong route, etc., are a big deal for better patient care. Today, problems related to medications are common in the healthcare profession, and are responsible for significant morbidity, mortality, and cost. Several recent studies have demonstrated that patients frequently have difficulty in reading and understanding medication labels. According to the Institute of Medicine report, “Preventing Medication Errors”, cited poor labeling as a central cause for medication errors in the USA. Evidence suggests that specific content and format of prescription drug labels facilitate communication with and comprehension by patients. Efforts to improve the labels should be guided by such evidence, although an additional study assessing the influence of label design on medication-taking behavior and health outcomes is needed. Several policy options exist to require minimal standards to optimize medical therapy, particularly in light of the new Medicare prescription drug benefit

Introduction

These essays arose from a conference, organized as part of the "Early Modern Manuscript Poetry" project, which was funded by the U.K.'s Arts and Humanities Research Council and led by Steven W. May. From his 1968 PhD thesis—an edition of Henry Stanford's anthology, under the guidance of William A. Ringler Jr.—Steve has been in the forefront of early modern manuscript studies, as the author of numerous influential articles and books, including The Elizabethan Courtier Poets (1991), and as the editor of The First-Line Index of English Verse, 1559–1603 (2004), an indispensable reference guide for anyone researching Elizabethan poetry, in manuscript or print. This issue is dedicated to him, with thanks for his generosity as a scholar, colleague, and teacher
