‎The exceedingly rare second edition (the first being from 1586) of Rogers’ somewhat free translation of ‘Papist’ Diego de Estalla’s work “Libro de la vanidad del mundo (Toledo, 1562). Rogers admits that he had no access to the original but had to use the Italian and Spanish translations. The present English translation, however, is of significant interest, as 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).‎

‎Journal of Urban Archaeology 12 (2025) Featuring a special section, Lost Cities and Legacy Data.‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2025 Paperback, 296 Pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:78 b/w, 116 col., 2 tables b/w., Language:English, *new. ISBN 9782503615646.‎

‎This issue of Journal of Urban Archaeology combines an open call for papers with a special thematic section focused on the entanglement of political control and colonialism with the archaeology of urban sites in the Near East and Egypt during the late Ottoman and the Mandate periods. The articles in this special issue examine how earlier colonial and orientalist approaches informed and shaped archaeological fieldwork, and created persistent legacies in the study of ancient urban sites, through the use of specifi c case studies. Through this approach, these articles demonstrate how the critical re-examination of legacy data can structure nuanced narratives, and together, the authors point the way forwards for dismantling current paradigms around the urban archaeology of the region.
