9. ¬Sparke¬, Thomas. “‘A Sermon preached at Cheanies the 14. of

September, 1585, at the burial of the right Honorable the Earle of

Bedford, by Thomas Sparke Doctor of Diuinitie.’ The university’s arms.

‘Imprinted at Oxford by _him_ Printer to that famous Vniuersitie.’ My

copy is cut so close at bottom that it is uncertain whether there was

any date added. Dedicated ‘To—Arthur Lord Gray of Wilton, Knight of—the

Garter.—At Bletchley the 25 of September, 1585.—Thomas Sparke.’ The

text, ‘Apocal. 14. 13. I heard a voice from heauen’ &c. At the end of

the sermon ‘September 22. An. Do. 1585,’ Besides; 110 pages, W. H.

16^o.”

The above is the account of the book in Herbert’s Ames, iii. 1399, in

the account of Joseph Barnes’s press at Oxford in 1585. The copy sold

in the Heber sale, 9 April 1835, Catal. pt. vi, p. 248, art. 3559 for

8_s._ was probably Herbert’s. Ames in his ©Typographical Antiquities©

(Lond. 1749) gives a shorter title and describes the book as a quarto.

Other edd. are Lond. 1585, in eights (pp. [10] + 106), and Oxf. 1594

(with 25 _December_ at end of dedication, pp. [10] + 110): but both

are different from the present book, if Herbert’s description may be

trusted.

The above is from Herbert’s Ames, iii. 1401, slightly altered from

Ames, p. 453: but both are probably errors for 1596: see 1596. C.

2. ¬Catilinariae proditiones.¬ “‘In Catilinarias proditiones, ac

proditores domesticos, Odæ 6.’ The university arms. ‘Oxoniæ, ex Officina

Typographica Josephi Barnesii, & veneunt in cœmeterio Paulino sub signo

The above is from Herbert’s Ames, iii. p. 1401. In May 1886 the

officials of the British Museum were unable to find the book. A copy

was sold at the Bliss sale in 1858 (Catal. pt. 2, art. 7) to Stenson a

bookseller for £4 4_s._

Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–12) Epistola dedicatoria to sir Thomas

Bromley, lord chancellor of England, Oxf. 28 Dec. [1585]: 1–138, the

six Homilies, in Greek.

“Primitiæ typographici nostri in græcis literis preli,” as the

dedication says. The first Greek book printed in England was also a

Chrysostom (Two Homilies, Lond., Reg. Wolfe, 1543), but separate Greek

words occur in the first book printed at Cambridge (Cujusdam ...

Christiani Epistola, 1521), and single words cut in wood still

earlier. The six homilies are 1. Κατὰ τῶν παρατηρούντων τὰς νεομηνίας

(Migne, ©Patrol. Gr.©, Chrysost., i. 953.) 2–5. Εἰς τὸν Λάζαρον, αʹ,

βʹ, γʹ, δʹ (ibid. 963, 981, 991, 1005). 6. Εἰς τὸ Περὶ δὲ τῶν

κεκοιμημένων (ibid. 1017). See p. 12 (1565), Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii.

138.

An imperfect book, (signn. A 2-D 7), containing Isocrates Πρὸς

Δημόνικον, Πρὸς Νικοκλέα, Νικόκλης ἢ συμβουλευτικὸς λόγος τρίτος,

Plutarch Περὶ παιδῶν ἀγωγῆς and “Luciani Cupido,” all in Greek, once

owned by Thomas Hearne and now in the Bodleian Library, is in similar

type to this Chrysostom and is accordingly assigned by Hearne to

Barnes’s Press. But minute inspection shows that some of the woodcuts

of the book are not identical with any used at Oxford. It is probably

London printing (not Bynneman 1581 nor 1621: perhaps Bishop 1599: see

Brüggemann, p. 128.)

title: (3–7) Epistle dedicatorie to the “lady Marie Dudley,” Oxford, 8

Mar. 1586, signed “T. P.”: (8–16) “To the Christian reader ...” with

the writer’s name, Th. Pie: 1–219, the paraphrase, the text of

Ecclesiastes occurring in the margin.

This book is a translation into English of “Sapientissimi regis

Salomonis concio de summo hominis bono quam ... Latini Ecclesiasten

vocant, in Latinam linguam ab Antonio Corrano ... versa et ex eiusdem

prælectionibus paraphrasi illustrata: accesserunt & notæ quædam”

(Lond., 1579) with the omission of the notes. For Ant. de Corro see

Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 578: and for Thomas Pye, _ibid._ ii. 59. Wood

was not acquainted with this earliest work of Pye, but alludes to the

book (as above, i. 581) as Corro’s “Sermons on Ecclesiastes. Abridged

by Thomas Pitt. Oxon 1585, oct., which is called by some Pitt’s

Paraphrase on Ecclesiastes”! The name Pitt, but not the error of date,

may be taken from Maunsell, who three times (i. 38, 81, 104) alludes

to the book as by Tho. Pitt. Pye in his Epistle states with respect to

the original Latin edition, “which treatise, as it came first to the

print, myselfe by occasion being charged with som ouerseeing of the

presse, at the earnest request aswel of the author himself, as of

other many, I translated into English: being the rather a greate deale

moued thereunto, because there was no comment or like exposition then

extant in our vulgar tongue vpon this part of Scripture.” This latter

statement is not strictly true, since “An exposition of Salomon’s

booke called Ecclesiastes” was printed in London in 1573. In 1585

Serranus’s commentary translated into English by T. Wilcocke was

printed in London.

This work has been constantly attributed to John Case, the author of

the ©Apologia Musices©, Oxf. 1588, but the present writer believes

that from internal evidence it cannot be regarded as his. See Appendix

The Bodleian Catalogue suggests that these speeches are perhaps by

Savile, both of Merton. There is no place of imprint, but probably it

is Oxford printing. Wood did not know the book.

“Candido lectori Georgius Edrychus medicus S. P. D.,” a Latin preface:

A 1^r-D 8^r, the poem.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 135. This work is an imaginary reply of

Hippolytus to the temptations of Phaedra, in Ovidian elegiacs. The

author, John Shepery, of Corpus Christi College (“Somatochristianus”),

tells us in the preface that it was composed as a return for kindness

shown him by one Guadus (Wade ?, whom the editor describes as a

chaplain to Henry viii), but delayed for some years. Shepery died in

1542, aged 32 years. George Etheridge (“Edrychus”) was a pupil of

Shepery, fellow of Corpus, and a Roman Catholic.

The date is fixed at 1586 by two passages: Etheridge in his preface

states that for about 53 years he had been a member of the University:

he was admitted scholar of Corpus in Nov. 1534. Also Dr. Humphrey in

his introduction to the ©Summa et synopsis© (see below) alludes to the

©Hippolytus© as “nuperrime impressum.” Wood places the date at about

1584, and the Bodleian catalogue of 1843 assigns the book to 1542,

owing to the date of Shepery’s death, which happens to occur

prominently at the end of Etheridge’s preface.

B 1^r-C 3^v “Disticha Ioannis Sheprevi ...”: verso of leaf after C 3-D

6^r, “Disticha ... in Editione Erasmi Roterodami inserta.”

The “Summa Ioannis Sheprevi” is a set of elegiac stanzas, each stanza

describing the contents of a chapter in the New Testament, and

beginning successively with the letters of the alphabet, written by

John Shepery, of Corpus Christi College, Reader of the Hebrew Lecture

from about 1537 to his death in 1542. The ©Summa© is stated by Wood to

have been first published at Strasburg in about 1556 by John Parkhurst

bp. of Norwich, next in Lond. 1560 (Wood), and from Humfrey’s ed. in

“Gemma Fabri,” Lond. 1598, and “Biblii (or Bibliorum) summula,” Lond.

1621, etc. The first distich is “A priscis oritur Christus, turbatur

Ioseph, | Angelus hunc retinet, virgo beata parit.” MS. C. C. C.

(Oxf.) 266 contains these verses.

The “Synopsis” is a similar set of elegiac stanzas, without the

alphabetical succession of first letters, first inserted in the Latin

editions of Erasmus’s New Testament, from that of 1542 on. The author

appears to be unknown: the first distich is “Angelus in somnis iustum

solatur Ioseph, | Prototoco Mariæ nomen Iesus erit.”

In the preface Dr. Humfrey states that his object in editing the book

was to recall young students to the study of the text of the Bible,

and that he had collated a MS. copy of the ©Summa© with bp.

Parkhurst’s edition, and had compared different editions of the

©Synopsis©: he alludes also to the Hippolytus of Shepery as “nuperrime

impressum.”

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 135, 560. Dr. Philip Bliss noted in his

copy “Whoever wants to write a history of the Oxford press should

first get together all the little vols printed by Jo. Barnes, of which

this is one of the rarest.”

Song of Solomon chapp. 1–3.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 138. The best account of this work will

be extracts from the Epistle dedicatory. John Harmar the translator

was in this year Proctor, Regius professor of Greek and Fellow of New

College. He says, “I was requested, right honorable, by manie of my

friends to emploie the time of this last vacation of mine from my

publique readinges in the Vniuersitie, in the translating of Master

Bezaes Sermons vpon the Canticle of Canticles, which I had a little

before receaued from the Francfurt mart in French, into our vulgare

and Mother tongue.” The patronage of Lord Dudley is acknowledged and

details of the translator’s life are given, as that he attended Beza’s

lectures and sermons at Geneva. The work translated was no doubt

Beza’s “Sermons sur les trois premiers chapitres du Cantique des

cantiques de Salomon,” _Genève, Jehan le Preux_, 1586, 8^o (Brunet).

This anonymous treatise is a formal and precise legal argument on the

absolutus morte sit afficiendus, si in aliena republica, contra vitam

principis vel salutem totius reipublicae, nefariam coniurationem

resolution to execute Mary Queen of Scots, and seems to have been

written after 4 Dec. 1586 (p. 13) and before the execution 8 Feb.

1587: but there is no clue to the author.

explanation and erratum.

The author’s name nowhere occurs, but there can be but little doubt

that the volume was written by John Penry of St. Alban hall, Oxford

(B.A. 1586), who is conspicuous in the Marprelate controversy and who

published ©An exhortation vnto the Gouernours and people of Wales, to

labour earnestly to haue the preaching of the Gospell planted among

them© (n. pl. or d., and n. pl. 1588): and also ©A View of ... publike

wants & disorders ... in the service of God ... within Wales©, n. pl.

1588. The author says, p. 63, “Some rumor of the speedy dissolution of

the Parliament enforced me from the 32 Pag. or there abouts (so much

being already vnder the presse) to cut off more of the booke by two

parts than is now in the whole.” Parliament sat in 1586 from 28 Oct.

to 2 Dec. and not during 1587. At pp. 53–4 Penry alludes to the state

of the Universities. Wood does not know of this work, and the best

account of the author is in Cooper’s ©Athenæ Cantabr.©, ii. 154.

Humfrey: A 1^r-L 4^v, the poems, in Latin: L 4^v, an erratum.

Sir Philip Sidney died at Arnheim 7 Oct. 1586. Dr. William James, dean

of Christ Church, urged W. Gager to collect and edit poems which had

been privately made at the time of Sidney’s death: the editor found it

necessary from considerations of space to reject Hebrew, Greek, French

and Italian poems, but it may be doubted whether the printer possessed

Hebrew type. See next art.

Herbert earl of Pembroke, in Latin, by “Ioannes Luidus,” New college,

The title is an allusion to the spurious Peplus of Aristotle, a

commemoration of the heroes who fell before Troy. The editor was John

Lhuyd, and the poems (almost all Latin) are all by New College men,

among whom the earl of Pembroke, Sidney’s brother-in-law, had been

educated. See preceding art., and Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 523.
