36. _John Bodley._--Among the Parker MSS. in Corpus Library at Cambridge
is a patent of Queen Elizabeth to John Bodeleigh to print the English
Bible for seven years.
In the list of translators of the Bible in 1611, as given in the
Introduction to Jameson's _Glossary of the Holy Scriptures_, appears the
name "Burleigh, M.A.," but without any biographical notice, as in the
other instances.
In Burn's _Livre des Anglois à Génève_, it is stated that John Bodleigh,
the father of the celebrated Sir Thomas Bodley, was one of the
translators of the Bible.
Can any of your readers throw light on the history of either of these
men, or kindly point to any sources of information respecting them?
