"Those fingers in my hair Sorry, that's an entirely inappropriate way to celebrate a serious scholarly award. But then again, I'll bet Richard M. Golden of the University of North Texas has heard a lot of cheap jokes since he started editing "Encyclopedia of Witchcraft: The Western Tradition." He gets the last laugh, though. UNT announced that he has received the Roland H. Bainton Prize from the Sixteenth Century Society and Conference, "a scholarly society open to those who are interested in studying the early modern era of approximately 1450 to 1660." The prize honors the best reference book on the early modern period, approximately 1450 to 1660. UNT says the encyclopedia includes 757 entries and was written by 172 scholars from 28 nations. In addition to "Encyclopedia of Witchcraft: The Western Tradition," Mr. Golden is the author or editor of five other books. He is on the editorial board of the journal "Magic, Ritual and Witchcraft." The prize is named for the late Roland H. Bainton, a professor of church history at the seminary of Yale University for many years. |
