Reginald Lane Poole

Reginald Lane Poole is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Reginald Lane Poole rather than just read about it. In short: Reginald Lane Poole or Lane-Poole, FBA (1857–1939), was a British historian. He was Keeper of the Archives and a lecturer in diplomatics at the University of Oxford, where he gave the Ford Lectures in 1912 on the subject of "The Exchequer in the Twelfth Century".

Key takeaways

  • Reginald Lane Poole belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
  • Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
  • Connect Reginald Lane Poole to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
  • Reproduce the core statement of Reginald Lane Poole from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Reginald Lane Poole or Lane-Poole, FBA (1857–1939), was a British historian. He was Keeper of the Archives and a lecturer in diplomatics at the University of Oxford, where he gave the Ford Lectures in 1912 on the subject of "The Exchequer in the Twelfth Century". In 1912, Reginald Lane Poole rediscovered the identity of Henry Symeonis, a 13th-century figure whom Oxford students had had to swear not to forgive for centuries after forgetting who he was.

Life The second of three children (two sons and a daughter) of Edward Stanley Poole (1830–1867) and his wife, Roberta Elizabeth Louisa (1828–1866), daughter of Charles Reddelien, a naturalized German, the "Lane" in his surname comes from his paternal grandmother Sophia Lane Poole, author of An Englishwoman in Egypt (1844). Both his mother and father died during his childhood, so Poole and his siblings were raised by their grandmother Sophia Lane Poole and their great-uncle Edward William Lane. With his wife Rachael, an art historian, he was the father of Austin Lane Poole (1889–1963), also a historian and Ford's Lecturer; the brother of the orientalist Stanley Lane-Poole; and the nephew of Reginald Stuart Poole.

Works Among other works, he edited a Political History of England (twelve volumes, 1905–10) with William Hunt. His works include:

History of the Huguenots of the Dispersion (1880) Sebastian Bach (1882) Illustrations of the History of Medieval Thought (1884) Wycliffe and Movements for Reform (1889) Historical Atlas of Modern Europe (1897–1902) The Exchequer in the Twelfth Century, Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1912. Lectures on the History of the Papal Chancery (1915) Medieval Reckonings of Time (1918) Illustrations of the History of Medieval Thought and Learning (2nd ed.), London: Richard Clay & Sons, 1920. Studies in Chronology and History (1934)

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Reginald Lane Poole

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Reginald Lane Poole claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Reginald Lane Poole before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Reginald Lane Poole ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Reginald Lane Poole

In research
Reginald Lane Poole appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry
Engineering practice reuses Reginald Lane Poole in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom
Reginald Lane Poole is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1857 births, 1939 deaths, 19th-century English historians, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Reginald Lane Poole outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
