Humphrey Dyson (1582–1633) was a London scrivener and notary,〔H. R. Woudhuysen, ''Sir Philip Sidney and the circulation of manuscripts, 1558-1640 ,''p. 54〕 and notable early book collector in England. He was the son of Christopher Dyson, a wax-chandler of the parish of St Alban in central London. Humphrey himself may also have been a member of the wax-chandlers' company.〔H. R. Woudhuysen, ''Sir Philip Sidney and the circulation of manuscripts, 1558-1640 ,''p. 54〕 Some accounts also identify him as a clerk of the Parliament of his day, though this is subject to doubt.〔'Humphrey Dyson', in E.A.B. Barnard, ''New Links with Shakespeare'', Cambridge University Press 1930 h,.VI, pp. 74-88, p. 86〕 Dyson is remembered as an early book collector〔Alan H.Nelson, ''The Library of Humphrey Dyson,'' (Oxford Bibliographical Society, forthcoming)〕 catering for the merging market for political and historical information.〔H. R. Woudhuysen, ''Sir Philip Sidney and the circulation of manuscripts, 1558-1640 ,''p. 389〕 His notebooks for 1610-1630 furnish a rare source for the study of tracts and books, and pricing in the booktrade of that period.〔http://muse.jhu.edu/demo/the_library_the_transactions_of_the_bibliographical_society/v007/7.1peacey.html Jason Peacey,'Sir Thomas Cotton's Consumption of News in 1650s England,' in ''The Library: The Transactions of the Bibliographical Society'', 7.1 (2006) 3-24 2006 p. 4〕 His collecting was particularly focused on plays, tracts, broadsides, and proclamations. In 1618 he published in folio 'A Book containing all such Proclamations as were published during the Raigne of the late Queene Elizabeth.’〔'Humphrey Dyson', in E.A.B. Barnard, ''New Links with Shakespeare'', Cambridge University Press 1930 h,.VI, pp. 74-88, p. 75〕〔Frederic A. Youngs, ''The proclamations of the Tudor Queens,'' CUP Archive, 1976, pp. 6ff.〕 He wrote out the will of Henry Condell (13 December 1627), and also witnessed the will and codicil which Nicholas Tooley, the actor in Shakespeare’s company, made on June 3, 1623.〔'Humphrey Dyson', in E.A.B. Barnard, ''New Links with Shakespeare'', Cambridge University Press 1930 h,.VI, pp. 74-88, p. 73〕 His association with these two notarial acts have suggested Dyson may have had links to William Shakespeare’s circle. His father's will, of 1608, refers to two daughters, Humphrey's sisters, respectively named Judith and Susanna.〔E.A.B. Barnard, ''New Links with Shakespeare'', ibid.p.76〕 These happen to be also the names Shakespeare gave to two of his own daughters (Judith Quiney, twin sister of Hamnet Shakespeare, and Susanna Hall). The Dyson household, in Wood Street, was not far from Silver Street, where Shakespeare was lodging in 1604.〔'Humphrey Dyson', in E.A.B. Barnard, ''New Links with Shakespeare'', Cambridge University Press 1930 h,.VI, pp. 74-88, p. 13, 75〕 He buried 18 Jan 1632/3 at St Olave Old Jewry, London.〔Parish Register accessed on Ancestry.Com 19 July 2013〕 == Manuscripts == *Dyson, Humphrey. “Catalogue of all such Bookes touching as well the State Ecclesiastical as Temporall of the Realme of England.” MS 117, Codrington Library, All Soul’s College, Oxford. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Humphrey Dyson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
