Depuis, de nouvelles recherches dans le fonds patrimonial de la Bibliothèque d’Agglomération de Saint-Omer ont permis de mettre au jour d’autres ouvrages avec les mêmes marques - six en tout à ce jour. Dans un article publié en mai 2015 dans É tudes É pistémé, Line Cottegnies et Gisèle Venet étudiaient les annotations du Folio et décrivaient en particulier les curieuses marques PS à l’encre apposées au poinçon à intervalles réguliers dans l’ouvrage. This raises in turn some interesting questions about the juxtaposition of the Folio with the other PS-marked books, and this note offers some tentative suggestions to try and explain why it was thus withdrawn from circulation and placed in a reserve or special collection of a Prefect of Studies.ĭepuis la découverte d’un in-folio de Shakespeare de 1623 à Saint-Omer dans le nord de la France, dans une bibliothèque municipale qui intégra à la Révolution française la bibliothèque de l’ancien Collège anglais jésuite de St Omers, la communauté scientifique s’interroge sur la nature d’un intérêt catholique pour Shakespeare. We suggest that the marking indicates that PS-marked books were kept separate from the main communal library. This short article mainly aims at describing the PS-marked books that have been identified. Since then, other similarly-marked books, six in total to date, have emerged in the Saint-Omer rare books collection, and allow us to suggest that the letters PS stand for “Praefectus/i Studiorum”, and that the marked books were placed in a Prefect of Studies’ reserve. In an article published in May 2015 in É tudes É pistémè, Line Cottegnies and Gisèle Venet studied the annotations in the Folio and described, among other things, the curious marking of the book, the letters PS hand-pressed repeatedly throughout at regular intervals.

Par James Gairdner, Letters and papers illustrative of the reigns of Richard [ii and Henry VII, t. 3: 1490-1493 Sur l'avis qu'un complot se formait à Saint - Omer pour y intro duire les Anglais, le roi en instruit le roi des Romains mais, craignant que le chevaucheur envoyé vers ce prince n'arrive pas à temps, il écrit au duc de Saxe pour le prier de prendre à ce sujet les mesures qu'il croira nécessaires.
