| ARTICLES RELATED TO 1594 | | | |  1594: Encyclopedia II - Dutch literature - Earliest stages 800–1550For the earliest stages of the Dutch language (and so its literature), the boundaries with what is now considered German are vague, and some fragments and authors are claimed for both realms. Examples include the ninth-century Wachtendonk Psalms, a West Low Franconian translation of some of the Psalms on the threshold of what is considered Dutch, and the twelfth-century poet Henric van Veldeke, who is claimed by both Dutch and German literature.
The earliest literature to be indisputably ...

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - English College Douai - An English College The foundation of this University coincided with the presence of a large number of English Catholics living at Douai, in the wake of the accession of Elizabeth I and the reimposition of Protestantism in England. This presence, and the role of the University prompted William Allen to found there in 1569 a seminary for English Catholic priests, whose studies were in part linked to the University. Allen's project arose from a conversation which he had with Dr. Vendeville, then Regius Professor of Canon Law in the University of Douai, and afterw ...

| | | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Book collecting - History of Anglo-European book collecting Whenever a high degree of civilization has been attained, book-lovers have multiplied, and to the student with his modest desire to read his favorite author in a well-written or well-printed copy there has been added a class of owners suspected of caring more for the externals of books than for the enjoyment to be obtained by reading them. But although adumbrations of it existed under the Roman Empire and towards the end of the Middle Ages, book-collecting, as it is now understood, is essentially of modern growth. A glance through what must ...

| | | | | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - Figured bass - History The origins of basso continuo practice are somewhat murky. Improvised organ accompaniments for choral works were common by the late 16th century, and separate organ parts, showing only a bass line, date back to at least 1587. In the mid-16th century, some Italian church composers began to write polychoral works. These pieces, for two or more choirs, were created in recognition of particularly festal occasions, or else to take advantage of certain architectural properties of the buildings in which they were performed. With eight or more p ...

| | | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - La Tour d'Auvergne - Senior line: Counts of Auvergne and Boulogne Although various La Tours are mentioned in the documents from the 11th and 12th century, the family history remains unclear until the 13th century, when they owned the lordship of La Tour in Auvergne, hence the name. The medieval family was related through marriages to other notable dynasties of the French South, including Ventadour, La Rochefoucauld, and Levis-Mirepoix.
The La Tours d'Auvergne maintained close ties with the Avignon popes, and many of them became bishops and cardinals, particularly after 1352, when Guy de La Tour marr ...

| | | | | 1594: Encyclopedia II - John Hawkins - Early career John Hawkins was probably the first major English slave trader, although some point to John Lok in 1553. His first voyage, of 1562, led three small ships to the Sierra Leone coast in order to capture slaves. He left Africa with a cargo of around 300, having seized them from the Portuguese. Despite having two ships seized by the Spanish authorities, he sold the slaves in St. Domingo and thus made a profit for his London investors. His voyage caused the Spanish to ban all English ship ...

In 1574 he removed to Christ Church, taking his B.A. degree in 1577, and proceeding M.A. in 1579.
