Collection
ABSTRACT
Miller / Milton Finding Aid -- Page 2 of 159
Leo Miller (1915-1990) was an independent scholar of John Milton during the latter half
of the 20th Century. Despite the obstacles to scholarship he faced as an independent
scholar, he published three books on Milton and over thirty scholarly articles, becoming
one of the premiere Milton scholars of his time. The collection contains correspondence,
notes, drafts, study copies of manuscript and printed materials from libraries and archives
throughout the world, photographs, slides, realia, and an impressive collection of rare
books (many of which are early editions of Milton’s work).
Gift of Leo and Diana Miller, Elizabeth Fox, Frederick Miller, and Maurice Kelley,
1990-1996
Processed by Michelle Visser, Molly Tindle, and Susie Bock, 1990-2004
SCOPE AND CONTENT
Miller / Milton Finding Aid -- Page 3 of 159
Leo Miller, a prominent John Milton scholar, devoted many years of his life to
researching issues important to Milton and other seventeenth-century writers. His
collection contains books and a variety of study materials. Miller published on many
subjects, and his works include three books, all dealing with John Milton. His
bibliographic work surpasses all others dealing with similar subjects. Miller’s extensive
study from original documents allowed him to provide answers and redefine perceptions
of John Milton, polygamy in the seventeenth century, and women scholars of the time.
His collection, therefore, is invaluable to today’s scholars of the seventeenth and early
eighteenth centuries. Main topics for study include debates about polygamy, Hermann
Mylius, the history of England under the Commonwealth, the biographies of the
philosophes and politicians of that era, the history of Germany and Anglo-German
relations during the seventeenth century, the history of the evolution of diplomacy into
modern forms, Neo-Latin literary prose of the Baroque period, John Milton’s years as
Secretary of State in England, and the Anglo-Dutch negotiations of the late seventeenth
century. Miller’s work on these and other subjects make this collection one of the best
repositories in the United States for scholars researching similar topics.
The collection consists of over one hundred volumes of rare books by or about Milton, or
Milton’s contemporaries. In addition, over forty feet of Dr. Miller's original research
files including microfilm and copy-flo reproductions of little-known documents and
books were also donated. The Miller Milton Collection contains a number of rare and
important Milton works including the first edition, first state of The Poems of Mr. John
Milton (London: 1645); A Complete Collection of the Historical, Political, and
Miscellaneous Works of John Milton (Amsterdam, 1698); Of Reformation Touching
Church-discipline in England (1641); and The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates (London:
1649).
The Collection was augmented in 1993 with the gift of additional correspondence from
Maurice Kelley and was augmented again in 1996 with the gift of many of Miller’s
awards, photographs, and other materials from his daughter, Elizabeth Fox.
In processing the collection, great care has been used in maintaining Dr. Miller’s
scholarly order. The contents and labels of his files have not been altered except where
preservation or copyright concerns necessitated the separation of materials. In all cases
where this occurred ‘see also’ references were provided to link the researcher to the
original folder in which the material was found. Likewise, while the scholarly integrity
of Dr. Miller’s files has been maintained, the folders themselves have been organized
under general headings to facilitate use of the collection by researchers.
The Leo Miller – John Milton Collection is organized into nineteen sections. Some
materials have use restrictions; these are explained in more detail at the beginning of each
section. Some of Dr. Miller’s original files were too large to be safely rehoused in one
archival folder. Where necessary, the contents of these files were placed in multiple
folders and an alphabetical designation was added (e.g. 5a, 5b, 5c, etc.)

BIOGRAPHY
Miller / Milton Finding Aid -- Page 5 of 159
Leo Miller was an independent scholar who devoted many years of his life to research on
John Milton. Dr. Miller was born in New York City in 1915 and was a graduate of the
City College of New York. He received his M.A. at Columbia University with enough
credits for a Ph.D. During World War II as a scout in the Infantry, he was awarded a
Silver Star, Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. Upon Dr. Miller's return, he established a
private vocational school while pursuing his own studies related to John Milton. After
his retirement in the 1960's, Miller was able to develop this interest full time. Dr. Miller
originally planned to write a life of Milton, but quickly discovered that there were a great
many unknowns about Milton. He began to do the original research that was to make
him so well known to his fellow Milton scholars. Through his untiring efforts, Miller
was able to locate and use original source material in archives throughout the world.
Many times he utilized material that other scholars had ignored or had not yet discovered.
Miller was the author of over thirty articles and three books on John Milton. His articles
appeared in The Milton Quarterly; Reviews and Commentary; Notes and Queries; Papers
of the Bibliographical Society of America; Renaissance and Reformation and English
Literary Renaissance. His books are John Milton Among the Polygamophiles (1974);
John Milton and the Oldenburg Safeguard (1985); and the posthumously published John
Milton's Writings on the Anglo-Dutch Negotiations, 1651-1654 (1992). In addition he
presented papers and gave talks at many conferences worldwide. At the time of Dr.
Miller's death in April 1990, he also had in press a number of articles and the book The
Poems and Letters of Alexander Gil (University of South Carolina). By the end of his
life Dr. Miller was recognized as one of the premiere Milton scholars of his day. In 1990
he was named the Honored Independent Scholar of the Milton Society by The Milton
Society of America. The University of Colorado at Boulder awarded Dr. Miller the
posthumous degree Doctor of Humane Letters, Honoris Causa in August 1992.
Before his death in April 1990 Dr. Leo Miller expressed his desire to donate his John
Milton Collection to the University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries Special Collections
Department. His widow Diana Miller and children, Elizabeth Fox and Frederick Miller,
honored his wishes and donated the collection to the University in July 1990. This
important gift immediately made the University of Colorado one of the major Milton
research centers in the United States.

Letter to the Editor of Milton Quarterly (photocopy) regarding a review of

Dr. Shawcross feels my book may require some slight effort on the
reader’s part. Believe me, nothing in comparison to the effort in
transcribing Mylius’s abominable scrawl, or in translating from
hundreds of pages in secretarial hand Latin, archaic German, archaic
French, some Dutch, a trace of Spanish, all done to make these buried
manuscripts really easily available to the reader. If Shawcross is
uncomfortable with the idiom and adverbs of my conversational
style, the editors of a distinguished New England university journal, in
accepting a paper of mine recently, summarized their judgment of my
unacademic scholarly prose: “the whole thing is done in a winning and
engaging style, a breath of fresh air.”

XVIII. Study Copies (Printed Materials—complete texts)
PLEASE NOTE: The study copies of the complete texts listed below
were obtained by Miller from institutions other than the University of
Colorado at Boulder with the understanding that they were to be used
by Miller for private research purposes only. These study copies may
NOT be photocopied for other researchers nor used in publications
without the consent of the holding institution. It is the responsibility
of researchers at CU-Boulder to identify the holding institution where
unknown, to obtain all necessary consents, and to comply with
national and international copyright law.
The printed materials listed below are organized alphabetically by
author’s last name. Some of the texts have a binding number
designation. Binding numbers were assigned as each was taken apart
Miller / Milton Finding Aid -- Page 101 of 159
to be filed separately under title; there is no significance to the
binding number. The original groupings are listed in Appendix A:
List of Photocopies Originally Bound Together by Leo Miller.
Annotations from Miller’s works are used to more fully describe the scope and
content of some of the texts.
A., L.V. Die durch Unlust vergallete Lust des Ehelichen Lebens; …/ L.V.A. Giessen:
Johann Müllern, 1720.
“The Joy of Married Life Marred through Misliking set forth in a short narrative from the
example of two unhappy wives of the House of the Electoral Palatinate; wherein are to be
found the Love-Intrigues of the Baroness von Degenfeld, and the Godless Conduct of the
Conscience-Less Conscience-Counselor Langhans.” This work claims to be a reprint of
an original work by Charlotte to Emperor Ferdinand III against her husband, supposed
love letters between Charles Louis and Charlotte, and between Charles Louis and Luise.
These are followed by fictional letters between Charles Louis and the two women, in
rhymed verse and attributed to Herr Hoffmanswaldau (1617-1679), who composed
fictional love letters between such romantic couples as Abelard and Heloise
(Polygamophiles, 305-6). The remainder of this work is a reprint by L. V. A. entitled
Der Ungewissenhaffte Gewissens-Rath, Vorgestellet in einer Theologishen Facultät zu
Heidelberg Bedencken über etzliche Brieffe Johann Ludwig Langhansens… (“The
Conscience-less Conscience Counsellor Portrayed in the Considerations of the
Theological Faculty of Heidelberg over Several Letters of Johan Ludwig Langhans…”).
Here the opinion of Langhans, Privy and Conscience Counselor to Elector Karl, is
brought to light in a series of letters, which “in veiled language justified a rather
hedonistic attitude” toward bigamy. His subsequent trial after Elector Karl’s death
occupies pp. 73-148 of this work (Polygamophiles, 318-319). Miller’s label for this
binder: “L. V. A. 1720 Degenfeld/Langhans.” Photocopy from the British Museum.
ADAMI, JOHANN SAMUEL, 1638-1713. Tractat von der polygamia, oder
Bielweiberen / M. Johann Samuelis Adami, alias Misanders, Weissenfels: Johann
Friedrich Wehrmann, Druckts Joh. Christoph Brüht, 1715.
Johann Leyser apparently reworked the “‘epitaph’ on monogamy” which Adami printed
in this work on pages 171-173 (Polygamophiles, 287-288). Photocopy; Miller’s note on
the title page of the copy reads “Whence?” The copy probably came from ErlangenNürnberg, Copenhagen Royal Library, or the University of Pennsylvania
(Polygamophiles, 340-341).

ALTMANN, ALFRED. Verein für Geschichte der Stadt Nürnburg. Jahresbericht
über das 43 Vereinsjahr 1920 (Nürnberg 1920): 13-15.
This untitled report by Dr. Alfred Altmann is a copy of a lecture given by him. It is
presented in the Annual Report for the 43rd Year 1920 of the Historical Society of the city
of Nuremburg, and discusses the polygamy permission said to be granted in Nuremberg
in 1650. Altmann “characterizes the Fränkisches Archiv as merely a popular journal, not
an edition of state documents, and describes the tradition as a literary fantasy. My own
examination of the Fränkisches Archiv confirms Altmann’s description. The most
serious reason for impeaching the Fränkisches Archiv account is the total silence of all
seventeenth century writers on polygamy, which aroused my suspicions and led me to
seek further” (P 235-236, note 45). Photocopy from Erlangen-Nürnberg. Binding 16.

Henry Desbordes, 1685.
The Nouvelles was a monthly newsletter, founded by Pierre Bayle in 1684, and edited by
him until February 1687. A large section of the April, 1685 issue was dedicated to Lyser;
it reviewed Polygamia Triumphatrix, reproduces a letter by H. G. Masius to Pierre Allix
discussing the end of Lyser’s life. Several letters, reproduced in the December, 1685
issue discuss Lyser’s work and that of his opponents (P 302-304, note 104). Photocopies
of sections of the April and December 1685 issues (pages 340-364, and 1349-1352).

Natural and Divine Law, in which the hitherto Disputed Questions of Adultery, Divorce
and Particularly of Polygamy, Are Set Forth for the Christian Reader, with All
Arguments Given on Both Sides.” Initially some take this to be another of Lyser’s
pseudonyms, but it soon becomes clear that it really is Lorenz Beger, whom Charles
Louis hired in 1677 as librarian and curator of antiquities. Some postulate that Beger did
little more than arrange the materials Charles Louis gave him (Polygamophiles 101-103).

“Monogamy and Polygamy.” Originally published in Norwegian, then translated into
German, this work deals with formal (i.e. Moslem) polygamy, and spends a great deal of
time “attacking the many kinds of de facto departures from monogamy prevalent in
western Europe and the Americas.” Such departures include free love, prostitution, and
the abuse of female slaves in the American South. Björnson also “aimed at uplifting
marriage and the status of women by ‘education,’ and by a moralizing and civilizing
lecture in the spirit of reasonableness” (P 202, note 11). Photocopy from UC-Berkeley,
General Library. Binding 17.

“Inaugural Disputation Setting Forth Diverse Concepts of Law, which, with the help of
Christ the Best and the Greatest, without a Praeses, (having obtained from the Elector a
dispensation from the contrary procedure in this place) for Highest Privileges and
Doctoral Honors in Both Branches of Law Duly and Fittingly Following/ Johann
Friedrich Boeckelmann of Steinfurt in Westphalia, supbmits to the Formal Examination
of the Learned on the day of March at the customary hour and place.” A printed note
placing all responsibility on the author is dated February 14, 1659 and signed by the Dean
of the Law Faculty. In the copy at Columbia the date is handwritten as ‘11’.
This copy is from the reissue of the work, as shown by the corrections made to the
original printing (e.g. the caption on page 37 originally read ‘Tertia’ but was changed to
‘Quarta’ for this printing). In this reissue, Boeckelman “denies that he approves
polygamy, and defends his theses in detail against that satire” (Polygamophiles 309-311).

“The Burial of Polygamy.” Büttner takes hold of the “common theory that monogamy
was the rule of the first Creation; that polygamy was permitted by divine dispensation
from the time of Abraham; and that it was banned by Christ who brought things back to
the original status. Büttner’s disputation has all the marks of an academic exercise, but it
also offers some curiously contradictory references to the times. … To him [polygamy]
is no mere abstract question, but a practical current question of conscience” (P 57-58).

conduct as pastor, and completely dodges the issue of plural marriage” (P 169-170). Two

“Treatise on Polygamy, that is Conscientious and Scriptural Dialogue between

reply to Leyser’s Discurs inter Polygamum et Monogamum de Polygamia, which had
circulated in both Latin and German. Miller comments that “to review all of his points
on what really was God’s intention would be as dismal as it was futile, although it is
testimony to how seriously men did take Leyser’s case” (Polygamophiles 77).

“Extract from a Remarkable Kreis Decision of February 14, 1650.” This contains the
earliest mention of the so-called Nuremberg Polygamy Permission of 1650, which was
discussed in many nineteenth and twentieth centuries “as if it were an indisputable fact.
The key phrases Sollen hinfüro … Jedem Mannspersohnen 2. Weyber zue heyrathen
erlaubt sein, ‘henceforth it shall … be permitted to every male person to marry two
women’ are quoted in various grammatical adaptations, always with the statement that
the law was a consequence of the depopulation during the Thirty Years War, but never
with any detail as to who sponsored the law, how long it was in effect, and whether any
bigamous marriages were performed under its terms” (P 234-235, note 45). In a letter to
Giessen Miller wrote that “I need to obtain the full text of the ‘gelehrte Fabel’ of the
‘Angebliche Bigamiebeschluss des Frankischen Kreistags’ … I am well aware that
scholars in Germany have disproved this story, but it is still being repeated in other
countries. In order to set it at rest for English-language studies, I need to have the
complete text of the original version.” Photocopy from Giessen Universitätsbibliothek.

grows daily apace, that Christians go running into forbidden fires and mutations in
marriage. He serves up the standard citations and the standard arguments. What is
remarkable is his tone. Gesenius addresses the pseudonymous polygamophile as ‘most
excellent Wahrenberg … most noble Wahrenberg … most sincerely sincere and superscholarly Wahrenberg’ until it develops that Gesenius believes that Wahrenberg is really
Samuel Pufendorf, or his brother Esaias Pufendorf, or a spokesman for both of them” (P

Cambridge, 1638. Accompanying material includes two pages of a catalog advertising
the work for sale. The following description is taken from that advertisment:
This slim volume seems at first to have every appearance of being another
University compilation of Latin verses commemorating a royal occasion, of just
the kind to which Edward King was an enthusiastic contributor. It was, however,
an intensely private affair, unparalleled in the Press’s history. The verses
commemorate the death of Edward King (1612-1637), Fellow of Christ’s, widely
popular in the university, who was drowned at sea while on his way to visit his
family in Ireland: the volume was edited most probably by John Alsop, also a
Fellow of Christ’s. It includes the first publication of Milton’s ‘Lycidas’…

anonymous, and appears to be, as the title page says, based on an English original. The
British author bemoaned debates which tend to destroy a believer’s simple faith in
Scripture, and which tend to encourage unitarian thought. The main example offered,
among others, is the disagreement between theologians (who claim the Bible bans
polygamy or permits it only by divine dispensation), and lawyers (who demand to see the
parchment on which the law or the dispensation is engrossed). The unknown author
wishes that the theologians would come to terms with the lawyers. Despite its original
focus, the Kurtzer Beweis [sic] circulated in Danzig as a vernacular voice against
Weickhmann, who wanted the authorities to suppress it also. Up to that time the debate
had been entirely in Latin, which limited its effect” (Polygamophiles, 168-169).

reverend models Father Abraham, David the man after the heart of God, and Solomon

Melanchthon to his ancestor Henry VIII, to institute a regime of polygamy, filling the
earth with true Christians and Paradise with saved souls” (Polygamophiles 74).

“A Discussion on Polygamy between Polygamus and Monogamus [by Aletophilus
Germanus. Appearing Now in Latin, with the Caution, Preface and Marginal Notes of
Christianus Vigil, Bound with His Epistle to Wahrenberg;” preface dated January 24,
1673. The pseudonym Aletophilus Germanus means “German Truth-Lover;” Gesenius
countered this with his own pseudonym, “Vigilant Christian.” “The only copies known
are in a Latin version published by his opponent and inadvertent booster Friedrich
Gesenius, who in 1673 had it printed….” Miller offers the following summary of Lyser’s
work: “God bids man to increase and multiply; God and nature make nothing available
in vain, so a man’s procreative power is a talent not to be wasted unused merely because
one’s (monogamus) wife is already pregnant; by divine ordinance man is lord over
womankind; polygamy is the proper means to overcome the sins of this world, especially
abortion, infanticide, onanism, sodomy, adultery, etc., etc. He confidently asserts that
there are other theologians who know that polygamy is not against divine law; not at this
time naming names” (Polygamophiles 65-66). Two photocopies: (1) Photocopy from

“Political Discourse of Polygamy;” Lyser has taken a new pseudonym for this work:
Theophilus Alethaeus (“God-Loving Truthful”). “In this book Leyser begins his eight
year labour of gathering thistles, facts and quotations, arguing that since polygamy has
been practiced so many times by so many people in so many places it was indubitably
justified by the law of nature, the law of nations, and the law of God, and should be
legislated by all ruling powers for the general good of all segments of the population”

[_____?] Kurtzes Gesprach von der polygami / Sincerus Wahrenberg. s.l.: s.n.,
[1672].
Date from Miller; originally printed in 1671. The pseudonym, according to Miller, “may
have been a mask for Johan Leyser, or for Leyser-with-others. It was cast as a dialogue
between Theodore, who believes in plurality of wives, and Bernardus, who does not. …
The argument is all Biblical: if Adam and Eve are to be taken as a compulsory model
limiting wedlock to two partners, why not by the same token limit to twelve, the number
who came to the Last Supper? The patriarchs, Jacob, David, Solomon, Gideon, all had
many wives not by dispensation, it urges, but by the basic law of marriage.” The
Wahrenberg dialogue gained importance only when opposing publications began to
circulate. The first is Mentzer’s Kurtzes Bedencken and the second is Gesenius’ work Ad
Sincerum Wahrenbergium … (Polygamophiles, 63-64). Photocopy from Harvard Law

“Political Discourse between Monogamo and Polygamo of Polygamo, or Many-Wiving,
set forth and urged with 100 arguments by Johan Leyser;” preface dated January 1, 1675.
For the first time Lyser attaches his real name to a work on polygamy, and releases it in
German for the general public. Prior to this he had written only “in Latin for the
learned.” In this work, “M, or Monogamo, and P, Polygamo, seesaw back and forth over
Adam and Eve, Jacob and David, arguing in this book almost wholly from the Bible.
Then stretching his dialogue format out of shape, Leyser presents his century of
supplementary arguments, with a third voice joining in (actually E for Ergo)”

“Thoughts on Matrimony, to Estimable Gentlefolk, brought together by Gottlieb

Alethaeus, and the text within is once again the Gewissenhafftes und Schrifftmässiges
Gespräch zwischen Polygamo and Monogamo; only the dedication and preface are
different from the 1675-1676 German Discurs.” Lyser ruins the effect of the new
pseudonym by revising the text which he claims to be merely transmitting
(Polygamophiles 86-87). A note on the back of Miller’s binding reads: “Note: Theodore
speaks Latin, Bernardus does not.” Photocopy from Nürnberg Stadtbibliothek.

of polygamy, about which that crazy Leyser raises so much commotion.’ He affirms his
preference for monogamy on principle. He thinks that polygamy multiplies poverty; that
Moses rather tolerated than approved polygamy; that while polygamy might not be
banned by natural law, it might be banned to Christians by other law” (P 301, note 103).

Garfield …, 1657.
Late in his life, Ochino composed some thirty dialogues on a variety of religious topics.
By making his work in dialogue form, he was able to argue both sides of the argument.
“By offering both sides in each discussion, Ochino in effect upheld the right of each
individual person to independent free thought.” This English translation includes only
two dialogues, those on plural marriage and on divorce (which has a separate title page
and pagination). In the divorce dialogue, Ochino and his friend Meschinus “consider
adultery as a ground for divorce, with a final hint that ‘infidelity’ (that is, ideological
disagreement) may also be a valid ground for divorce.” The translator of the work is
unknown, but suspected to be either Francis Osborne, Thomas Pecke, or Osborne’s son
John (P 25, 28-33). Photocopy from the University of Chicago.

but who does not want to resort to a perjured divorce, or adultery, or poison. The two
friends retrace precedents in the Bible, in the practice of different nations, instances from
history … At the end Ochino allows the issue to remain unresolved. This particular
dialogue afforded the Zurich authorities an excuse to banish Ochino without a hearing,
and he spent his last months an outcast wanderer in exile. … A parallel reading of the
Dialogue of Neobulus (1541) with the Dialogues of Ochino (1563), published only
twenty-two years apart, quickly establishes a kinship. Ochino freely borrowed arguments
and examples” (P 25-26). Photocopy from Union Theological Seminary. Miller’s

“Moral Tractate on the Natural Modesty and Dignity of Man, in which is treated of
Incest, Fornication, Vowed Celibacy, Marriage, Adultery, Polygamy and Divorce, etc.”
This is a commentary on the issues of note, but “without express reference to current
controversy.” Möller mentioned Velthuysen’s work in his own De Polygamia,
commenting that Velthuysen seems to express some of the same ideas as Milton (Vel.
Tractatus Moralis, pp. 218). Miller carefully analyzes the specific text, but concludes
that except for one reference it “is almost wholly unique” and “novel. If not for Möller’s
allusion, there would be no reason to connect any of it with Milton. It is characteristic of
Milton that almost any point he makes, or any allusion or text he uses, can be found at
least twice somewhere in his works. These points in Velthuysen’s text are not found in
Milton’s writings at all, so we are left wondering what the facts really were”

Weickhmann now addresses the issues surrounding his debate with Willenberg in
German rather than Latin. “With increasing bitterness and sharpness Weickhmann gives
his account of the sequence of events; treads again all over the ground he covered in his
Justitia Causae; cross-criticizes ‘J. A. E.’; tries to minimize the evidence on Luther. …
He reprinted the supporting statements of the university faculties; the Danzig town
council Declaration; the Torner testimony; his own Vindiciae done into German by a
friend; and a German version of the original Schediasma” (P 174-175). Miller reveals in
a note that it was at the University of Chicago “where it first dawned on me that it might
be possible to reconstruct this comedy” (P 350, note 185). Photocopy from the

needed to respond, now applying his own name to his work. Now the two authors have
created a full-blown controversy between themselves. Weickhmann argues that the
passage in Deuteronomy (xxi, 15-17) is not polygamy but rather successive monogamous
marriages; “with wrigglings and squirmings he evades the plain evidence on Luther and
Melanchthon … he constructs tables of forced parallels to prove a ‘harmony’ of Ochino,
Leyser and Willenberg. In the appendix he prints replies received to questionaires he had
formulated and sent [to three schools]; all bound to support his stand in principle and in
tactics” (P 165-166). Two photocopies: (1) Bound alone; photocopy Bibliothek des

Weickhmann, who had expressed opposition to Willenberg’s Schediasma of 1712. This
work “serve[s] up the standard clichés in rebuttal to Willenberg’s Bible citations, sauced
with the charge that he must be a disciple of Ochino the unitarian heretic and of Leyser
who was rendered forever beyond the pale of respectability by the ban of the King of
Denmark” (P 164). Photocopy from Erlangen-Nürnberg. Binding 4.

how easy it is to find false parallels. He hints that a reply to a questionnaire from the
Königsberg Law Faculty was omitted by Weickhmann because it was less favorable [than
other replies.]” He also mentions other scholars who take the same position as he:

Lyser, but now is going to do so. “He affirms that he had relied only on Holy Writ, on
proper theologians, on jurists of stature. He denies any intent to institute universal
polygamy” (P 164-5). Photocopy from Dr. Paul Raabe of the Herzog-August Bibliothek,

XIX. BOOKS IN THE LEO MILLER-JOHN MILTON COLLECTION
Name authority and WorldCat searches have been done for all of the following
authors and books. WorldCat accession numbers are listed only if they exactly
match the book; if there was no exact match, no number is listed. Explanations
about the texts come from Miller’s own works. They are cited in the following
manner: John Milton Among the Polygamophiles (Polygamophiles).
“According to Zedler’s Lexicon … in the university exercises of that time, the
respondent affirms a proposition which an opponent disputes, while the praeses was
a supporting sponsor of the respondent. In the scores of ‘dissertations’ and
‘disputations’ printed in Germany between 1650 and 1750 which I have examined,
no ‘opponent’ discussion is ever printed. … It is not always clear who is the author
of the text of the disputation, the praeses or the respondent. Sometimes it is this one,
sometimes it is the other. Title pages are often misleading. Catalogues often assume
that the praeses is the author, sometimes wrongly. Wherever possible I have
indicated who was the actual author, or what the area of doubt might be”
(Polygamophiles, 249-250).

Eikon Basilike, the pourtraicture of his sacred majestie in his solitudes and sufferings.
[London :] Printed by W. D., 1649. Miller 6.
The work allegedly was written by Charles I (1600-1649) himself, while being held
prisoner shortly before his execution in 1649. Milton responded to Eikon Basilike with
his Eikonoklastes, in which he states that Charles was not the author of this work. Others
believe this to have been written by John Gauden (1605-1662). The poem on the leaf at
the front of the book is signed “F. N. G.” This has been identified in manuscripts as
Francis Gregory (1625?-1707), schoolmaster at Woodstock.

through York. The fourth book is The Principality of Wales, and contains information
about important people in Welsh shires. There are many errors in the pagination of the

HUTCHINSON, LUCY APSLEY, b. 1620. Memoirs of the life of Colonel
Hutchinson, Governor of Nottingham castle and town …with original anecdotes of
many of the most distinguished of his contemporaries and a summary review of public
affairs / written by his widow Lucy, daughter of Sir Allen Apsley, Lieutenant of the
Tower, etc. Now first published from the original manuscript by the Rev. Julius
Hutchinson, &c. &c., to which is prefixed “The Life of Mrs. Hutchinson,” written by
herself, a fragment. London: Printed for Longman, Hurst , Rees, and Orme,
Paternoster Row, by T. Bensley, Bolt Court, Fleet Street, 1806. Miller 8.
“Mrs. Hutchinson seems to have had two main reasons for writing the Memoirs: to
console herself for the loss of a man she loved and respected, and to give her children a
reminder of the noble character of their father. She probably also wished to vindicate
Hutchinson’s actions at the Restoration, whien he was lucky not to forfeit his life. She
herself emerges from her narrative as a highly intelligent woman of strong personality,
fiercely intolerant, and possessing a caustic turn of phrase. Her husband’s virtues are
emphasized with aggressive insistence, while the shortcomings of almost everyone else
she mentions are acidly enlarged. Such figures as Cromwell, Lambert, and Monck, as
well as a host of lesser men are the subject of scathing comment.” List of subscribers.

“Polygamy Triumphant, that is the Political Discourse of Polygamy.” “Leyser used the
Lund place-tag for tactical reasons, perhaps to suggest a link to the young university
there, but contemporaries identified the printing … as done in Amsterdam” (P 91-92).
[MADAN, MARTIN, 1726-1790.] Thelyphthora; or, a treatise on female ruin, in its

volumes. Miller 10.
Madan’s main point here is to present polygamy as proper; as a result, he spends most of
his time discussing Biblical precedents. “His assembly of Bible evidence and
commentary is creditable to his preparation for the pastorate, although he owes rather
more to Patrick Delany and to Johan Leyser than he admits. He quotes from many
sources, including several times from one of his favorite poets, John Milton.” In the end,
he presents a “rather mild” case for polygamy, but nevertheless inspired a large number
of people to publish against him (for specific titles, see Polygamophiles 146-148;
Polygamophiles 145-146). Accompanying material: (1) Miller’s handwritten notes on

are of fears and jealousies of popery”. London: Printed by A. B. for the assigns of
John Calvin and Theodore Beza, at the sign of the King’s indulgence, on the Southside of the Lake Lemane, 1672. Miller 14.
The work is an attack on the religious intolerance of Samuel Parker, Bishop of Oxford, as
indicated in Parker’s preface to Bishop Bramhall’s Vindication. There Parker justified
Miller / Milton Finding Aid -- Page 141 of 159
himself and the Episcopal clergy regarding the charge of popery. Marvell undertook not
merely to defend the principle of liberty of conscience, but “to clip the wings” of Parker.
The title of this book was suggested by the Duke of Buckingham’s Rehearsal, and Parker
is throughout called Mr. Bayes, on account of his resemblace in character to the hero in
Buckingham’s play. Charles himself intervened on Marvell’s behalf when the licenser
wished to suppress this edition, probably because of Marvell’s discretion regarding the
difference between royal policy and clerical policy. John Bramhall (1594-1663); Samuel

This famous treatise was written in reply to the book (purportedly by the King himself)
depicting Charles I’s misfortunes while a prisoner prior to his execution in 1649. Milton,
directed by the House of Commons to compose a rejoinder to this work, hints that the
King was not the actual author of the Eikon Basilike. He characterizes Charles I as one
who “hath offered at more cunning fetches to undermine our Liberties and put Tyranny
into an Art, than any British King before him.” A comment written in gold ink on the
title page states “A horrid book, and in 1660 called in by Proclamation.” Miller 19.

_____. Théorie de la royauté, d’après la doctrine de Milton. [Paris: s.n.], 1789.
A political treatise issued at the outset of the French Revolution based on the principles
enunciated by John Milton in 1649 during the trial of English monarch Charles I. In his

treatise and Milton’s reply to Saumaise, Pro Populo Anglicano Defensio. This book
contains two works: (1) Mirabeau’s dissertation “Sur Milton et ses Ouvrages,” numbered
in small Roman numerals (j-xxviij), and (2) Milton’s Pro Populo Anglicano Defensio,
translated into French by Jean Baptiste Solaville (1755-1832) as Défense du Peuple

PALMER, HERBERT, 1601-1647. The Glasse of God’s providence towards his
faithfull ones / by Herbert Palmer. London: Printed by G. M. for Th. Underhill,
1644.
Full title reads: “The Glasse of God’s providence towards his faithfull ones. Held forth
in a sermon preached to the two houses of Parliament, at Margarets Westminster, Aug.
13, 1644, being an extraordinary day of humiliation. Wherin it is discovered the great
failings that the best are liable unto; upon which God is provoked sometimes to take
vengeance. The whole is applied specially to a more carefull observation of our late
covenant, and particularly against the ungodly toleration pleaded for under pretence of
liberty and conscience.” Palmer denounces Milton to Parliament in his sermon given
August 13, 1644: “If any plead Conscience for the Lawfulnesse of Polygamy; (or for
divorce for other causes then [sic] Christ and His Apostles mention: Of which a wicked
book is abroad and uncensured, though deserving to be burnt, whose Author hath been so
impudent as to set his Name to it, and dedicate it to your selves) or for Liberty to marry
incestuously, will you grant a Toleration for all this? (p. 57).” Milton’s “wicked book” is
his Doctrine & Discipline of Divorce. Palmer’s comment about incest could not have
been directed at Milton, but the one about polygamy might have been (Polygamophiles
122). Miller 36.

1652x Miller.
A reply to John Rowland’s Pro rege et populo Anglicano apologia, which is an answer to
Milton’s Pro populo Anglicano defensio, written in reply to Claude Saumaise’s Defensio
regia. Milton and Phillips mistakenly attributed Rowland’s work to John Bramhall,
Bishop of Derry. Cf. Ayers.
"The "Responsio" was published as the work of John Phillips, and is normally so
catalogued, but since 1694 it has customarily been included among Milton's works, on
the basis of its inclusion by Edward Phillips in the list of Milton's writings that he
published in his Life ... . The consensus of opinion today is that John Phillips was
deputed to write the work, Milton revised it and, in particular, corrected the Latin. It was
then published under Phillip's name."--Coleridge, p. 81.

List of Photocopies Originally Bound Together by Leo Miller
These works were photocopied from various institutions for Miller’s scholarly use. There
is no significance to the binding number; binding numbers were assigned as each was
taken apart to be filed separately under title. The order in which the works are listed
reflects their order within the binding (‘1’ being the first work in the binding).
Disbinding was necessary in order to both preserve the copies and to provide library
order to Miller’s large photocopy collection.
