The Editorial Board of Renaissance Quarterly is most kindly continuing its tradition in Renaissance News by allowing me to publish the third supplement to the Catalogue of Italian Plays 1500-1700 in theUniversity of Toronto Library (University of Toronto Press, 1961). Previous supplements appeared in RN16 (1963), 298-307, and 19 (1966), 219-228. The plays listed below illustrate a wide range of theatrical tastes, from Latin and Italian passion plays, medieval in tradition, to the later dominant vogue for musical dramas. In editions of the latter it became customary early in the seventeenth century to record architects, costumers, and performers, so that the printed plays are a valuable source for stage history. Scenery for four of these dramas was designed by Ferdinando and Francesco Galli di Bibbiena, then at the outset of their careers.

Since 1963, when I published in Renaissance News (XVI,4, 298-307) a supplement to my Catalogue of Italian Plays, 1500-1700 in the University of Toronto Library (University of Toronto Press, 1961), the collection has been enriched by some fifty plays. Particularly interesting are the first Italian translation of Aristophanes; a group of the musical plays whose vogue grew steadily during the seventeenth century; and a couple of examples, Italian and Latin, of the other new musico-dramatic form of the period, the oratorio. Noteworthy also is Benetti's Scherno di Giove, a curious blending of mythology and commedia dell'arte which survived in the ‘classical’ burlesques of the Victorian theatre.

The globular cluster Messier 10 has three known variables. The first two of these were discovered by one of us (Sawyer 1933) and the third by Arp (1955). Two of the variables, V2 (P=18.7226) and V3 (P=7.831), are population II cepheids while V1 appears to be an irregular variable. Another star which lies in the Schwarzschild gap on the horizontal branch is a suspected variable (Voroshilov 1971).In this investigation, we examine the variations in the periods of the two cepheids over the interval 1912 to 1983 (for V2) and 1931 to 1983 (for V3). The study is based on photographs obtained with seven different telescopes - the Mt.Wilson 100-inch and 60-inch (1912 to 1919), the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory 72-inch, the David Dunlap 74-inch and 19-inch, the 16-inch at the University of Toronto downtown campus and the University of Toronto 24-inch at the Las Campanas Observatory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Some of our magnitudes have already been published (Sawyer 1938) and the remaining ones will be submitted to the Astronomical Journal for publication. We have also included material published by Arp (1955, 1957) in our study.

The Lister Symposium was held primarily to review the latest concepts of the mechanisms of bacterial infections, and to highlight the research being carried out currently in Toronto and in Canada. The inclusion of several speakers from outside of Toronto added a strong foundation for the meeting.A wide range of topics were addressed and these demonstrated the many areas of research being pursued to better understand the pathogenesis of microbial infections. By drawing together physicians, scientists, and students from a variety of disciplines, it was hoped that the Lister Symposium would contribute, not only to our knowledge of medicine and science in this field, but also to the continued local and national cooperation required for first-class investigative research.This meeting was the first of its kind held under the auspices of the Department of Surgery at the University of Toronto, demonstrating its commitment to research and interdepartmental collaboration. We are most grateful to Professor Bernard Langer, Chairman of the Department of Surgery, for his support in this regard. The assistance of our sponsors and the Continuing Medical Education Office facilitated a wide outreach and enabled recognition of the course and accreditation for Canadian and American Medical participants. It is hoped that this material will provide a useful reference for future developments in the field.

Harry Kiefte (1942–1997) was born in Amsterdam and moved to Toronto at an early age where he completed his formal education. His Ph.D. research was in the field of electron paramagnetic resonance under J.S.M. Harvey at the University of Toronto. He then completed two years of postdoctoral study with B.P. Stoicheff at the same institution where he participated in the pioneering work that led to the recording of the first Brillouin spectra from single crystals of rare-gas solids and the consequent determination of the elastic constants for these materials. It was the technique of Brillouin spectroscopy, and its application to the determination of the elastic properties of a wide range of crystalline materials, that engaged his interest and very considerable talents for the remainder of his career at the Department of Physics, Memorial University, where he accepted a faculty position in 1973. At the time of his death, at the relatively young age of 54, his name appeared as author or co-author on approximately 90 publications. Included among the co-authors were four graduate students whose research was devoted to ice-related studies. It is this significant contribution to our knowledge of the elastic properties of ice that will be reviewed in this paper. PACS No.: 62.20Dc

The article presents Armand-Jean de Rancé’s reform of the Cistercian abbey of La Trappe. It positions Rancé’s ascetic programme within the wider devotional culture of seventeenth-century France, and explores in three registers the inherent dynamic between withdrawal from the world and engagement with the world. The first register concerns the abbot’s biography, the argument being that the familial, societal and ecclesiastical ircles inhabited by Rancé before and after his conversion are more closely connected than has been traditionally seen. The second is dedicated to the position of La Trappe in contemporary society and a discussion of the continuous traffic across the monastic wall of texts, guests, rumours and myths. The third involves an examination of the role of withdrawal and engagement in Rancé’s reform and its ascetic programme, showing how the abbot expounds the central notion of solitude as a place, a condition and a strategy. The article presents key insights from the author’s doctoral thesis, which was defended at the University of Copenhagen in June 2017.

Except for two years, 1909 and 1910, the Observer’s Handbook of The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada has been published every year since 1907. It was founded by Clarence Augustus Chant, who also was responsible for the founding at the University of Toronto, of Canada’s first and largest department of astronomy, and who established the David Dunlap Observatory, which contains the largest optical telescope in Canada. In addition, Chant served as Editor of the Observer’s Handbook for 50 years, which is the main reason I am only the fourth editor since 1907. I should mention that John Percy, Chairman of the Scientific Organizing Committee of this Colloquium, was the third editor.

Dr Bellingham completed his medical school and anesthesiology residency at Western University. He followed this with a fellowship in Chronic Pain Management at the University of Toronto, with a focus on interventional pain management using fluoroscopy and ultrasound guided techniques. Dr Bellingham returned to Western University to work in the Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine in his capacity as an anesthetist and as a chronic pain specialist. Here at Western, he directs the Pain Clinic at St. Joseph’s Health Care and also played a key role in the development of Canada’s first Pain Medicine residency program. We had an opportunity to chat with Dr Bellingham and discuss a wide range of topics including his choice of career path, the Pain Medicine residency program, and other pain medicine topics in the context of the current opioid epidemic.

Pathology Training

Introduction: The University of Toronto experienced graduating three cohorts of forensic pathologists trained with Competency by Design (CBD) curriculum. We achieved this as a result of multiyear development of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs), Required Training Experience (RTEs), and Specialty Competency Requirements (SCRs) by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada’s Forensic Pathology Speciality Committee, the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service, and the University of Toronto. Method: Our academic year is comprised of 13 blocks. We divided the 13-block period into 4 stages to map all the EPAs and RTEs. The first stage, Transition to Discipline, is 1 block, the second stage, Foundation of Discipline, consists of 3 blocks; the third stage, Core of Discipline, consists of 6 blocks, and the final fourth stage, Transition to Practice, consists of 3 blocks. Board-certified faculty members in Forensic Pathology with more than five years of experience supervised the trainees. We graduated 5 Canadian and 4 international trainees at the end of the third cycle of CBD-based training program. Conclusion: Using the Royal College Speciality Committee blueprint, the University of Toronto started in 2016 planning the CBD curriculum in the forensic pathology training program. By the end of June 2021, we graduated nine trainees from our CBD-based Forensic Pathology training program. We are training the fourth cohort, and they will be graduating at the end of June 2022. This article aims to share our firsthand experiencing in CBD training in forensic pathology.

In 1961 I published a Catalogue of Italian Plays, 1500–1700, in the Library of the University of Toronto (University of Toronto Press). Since then the Library has acquired several more plays, some of them of major importance in the history of Renaissance drama. Of outstanding interest are the first edition of Giordano Bruno's Il Candelaio, the first edition of the prose version of Ariosto's Gli suppositi, the first edition of Ottavio Rinuccini's L'Euridice, and the 1620 edition of Prospero Bonarelli's Il Solimano with the handsome plates etched by Jacques Callot.
