(3–4) “Auctoris Præfatio ad iuventutem bonarum artium studiosam”:
1–228, the work: (pp. (3–4) not seen.)
Rare. This John Sanderson of Lancashire, doctor of Theology, canon of
Cambrai, seems to have escaped the notice of biographers. The better
known bp. Robert Sanderson also wrote on Logic, see 1615. S. The
preface throws no light on the life of the author. For the 4th ed.,
see 1609. S. The first edition was printed by Plantin at Antwerp in
1589, the dedication to cardinal Allen being dated from Antwerp 1 Jan.
“1589,” but neither in the dedication nor in the congratulatory poems
which follow in this first edition is there any biographical matter.

Nov. 12. 1602, signed “Robert Burhil” who issued the sermon: (15) “The
chiefe points of matter ... in the sermon ...”: 1–63, the sermon, on
Jer. ix. 23–24.
Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 360. The preface states that the
sermon was issued without the knowledge of the author, he being too
modest to publish his works.

(5–8) short poems by Davies: (8–16) complimentary verses to the author
or book: 1–28, “A Preface ...” to the king: (29–38) “Cambria to the
... Prince of Wales,” both poems: 39–232, the work: 233–254, “An
extasie,” a poem: (1–20) short poems by Davies, including two to
Magdalen college, p. (17): (20–29) complimentary verses to the author
or book.
Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 262, and 1605. D. The poem describes
the whole state of man, his condition, qualities and surroundings, in
a discursive manner which allows a short history of England to come in
(at p. 131). The stanzas are 9-line, rhyming ABABBCBCC. The author was
a professional calligrapher in Oxford, not a member of the University.
Davies’s ©Works© were edited by dr. Grosart in 1878. An ed. of 1611 is
perhaps only due to a misprint in a 17th cent. bookseller’s catalogue.

i.e. F. Godwin, then bp. of Llandaff.
Very rare. Orders of the bishop of Llandaff for the reformation of
abuses in his diocese. The woodcuts are sufficient to prove by their
particular imperfections that this is a product of the Oxford press.

poems: (1) “Votum Typographi ad ... Regem,” a poem.
More than 470 Latin poems, with a few in Greek, Italian, and French.
On p. 17 there is a complaint of the lack of Hebrew type. There is an
earlier and less common issue without the “Votum typographi,” the page
being left blank.

Canterbury and the Chancellors of the Universities of Oxford and
Cambridge, beg. “Many and excellent”: 1–5, “The humble petition of the
Ministers ...”: 6–32, “The Answer ...”.
Three other issues are known:—(_a_), title identical except that the
imprint is no. 25: after p. (13) comes (14–16) a letter from the
University of Cambridge to that of Oxford in Latin, 7 Oct. 1603,
introduced by a few sentences “to the reader”: the rest identical:
(_b_) with title identical till the 9th line which runs:—“_opinion, of
all the Deanes and Chapters, and all other_ | _the learned & obedient
Cleargy, in the Church of Eng:_ | And confirmed by the expresse
consent of the | Vniversitie of Cambridge.) | To the humble Petition”
[&c. as before]: with the same imprint as (_a_), but in small roman
type. Four new leaves follow the title, *2^r-*4^r containing a
dedication to the king, and ¶ 1^r the arms of the University with
woodcuts above and below. Then follows “the Præface,” the title only
being re-set, and the headline being no longer “The Epistle |
dedicatorie” but “The Præface | to the LL^s”, while on ¶¶ 4^v a
passage from Gregory Nazianzen is inserted: all the rest is identical
with the other issues: *(_c_) identical with (_b_) throughout except
that the imprint is no. 2 and is without date. Of these four editions
or issues, the first is very rare, being perhaps stopped in the course
of issue: _a_ is common, _b_ less so, _c_ rare.

Chiefly Latin poems in memory of queen Elizabeth: a few Greek occur,
one Hebrew (p. 5, cf. 97, 171), one French (p. 64), one Italian (p.
171). The longest poem is one by Robert Burhill entitled “Invitatorius

Extremely rare. The only known copy, in the Bodleian, has sign. A 4
imperfect, and has lost all after that leaf. The pamphlet was
reprinted with slight changes at London in 1613 with the title “Three
bloodie Murders ...” of which this is the first. “The Life,
confession, and heartie repentance of Francis Cartwright, gentleman;
for his bloudie sinne in killing of one Master Storr, Master of Arts

the manuscript (?) objections referred to in the title: then came this

©Limbomastix, that is a Canuise of Limbus Patrum© (published without
the author’s knowledge), with a reply to the ©Brief answere© (Lond.

includes also the MSS. then in the Library. In the dedication the
“Bibliotheca Bodleiana” is stated to be not yet four years old, having
been formally opened on 8 Nov. 1602. The preface gives an interesting
account of the early history of the Library. In the pagination a leaf
is omitted after p. 426, but “457” follows “450”: the total number of
pages is no doubt 726 (signn. ¶ A-Y^4 Z^2, Aa-Zz, Aaa-Zzz, Aaaa-Xxxx^4

printed books were issued at Oxford in 1620, 1674, 1738 and 1843, and
one of the MSS. in 1697.

The preface alludes to “my two bookes,” the other being “A discourse
plainely proving the euident vtilitie and vrgent necessitie of the ...
Vnion of ... England and Scotland ...” (Lond., 1604, sm. 4^o), which
latter was the subject of a remonstrance of the House of Commons to
the House of Lords, 26 May 1604, ending in an apology on the part of
the author. There is nothing but Wood’s express statement (©Ath.
Oxon.© iii. 5) to settle whether this book was published at the close
of 1604 or in 1605: so that statement has been accepted. Otherwise it
would seem that the two books were not long separated in point of
time. Both were reprinted at London in 1641.

introductory note: (16) dedication of the preface and book 1 to lord
Hay: 1–10 the preface: 11–271, the work in six books each with a
dedication, see below.
See 1612 C, which is simply a reissue with new titlepage. The author
recommends a nobleman to go to no University, but to Prince Henry’s
Court or Academy at Nonsuch. The 2nd book is dedicated to Thomas
Mourray, tutor to prince Charles: the 3rd to George earl of Essex, son
of the marquess of Huntly: the 4th to sir John Harington, son of lord
Harington: the 5th to mr. Francis Stewart Master of Mourray, and to
mr. John Stewart son of the duke of Lennox: the 6th to Robert earl of
Essex. The author was not an Oxford man, nor, apparently, connected
with the place in any way.

(23) “Errata ...”: 1–124, the work.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 612, ©Fasti© i. 285, but the identity of
the author appears to be still quite uncertain. The work is a
rhetorical commentary, almost a sermon, on the Gunpowder Plot of 5
Nov. 1605: but seems to afford no clue to the connexion of the author
with Oxford.

See 1609 D, and for the author Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 142. The poem
on p. 38 explains that the work was written “some time agoe” “for
priuate vse.” The Bodleian Catalogue (perhaps following Draudius’s
©Bibliotheca Exotica©, Frankf. 1625, p. 293) ascribes this book to
John Dunster, but Wood did not know the author.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 267 where the date 1608 may be an error
for 1607: and 1629 P, 1639 P, both of which edd. supply the date of
the dedication as “1 Jan. 1607 = 1607/8,” but are otherwise apparently
simply reprints. The dedication declares that the work was due to the
suggestion of dr. Holland, and done in the last Whitsuntide holidays
(1606).

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 467. This is closely connected with the
Wycliff art., below: and on p. 60 marg. the other is said to be
“printed with this Apologie”: the form of the signatures also
indicates connexion. The Bodleian MSS. quoted seem to be MSS. Bodl.
288 and 647, perhaps with others.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 511. The dedication implies that the book
took four days to print (?), and claims to be the first from the
University Press since the archbishop (Richard Bancroft) became
Chancellor (23 Apr. 1608).

2^r-C 7^r, the work, the verso of every leaf being blank.
Rare and valuable. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 58, where some
extracts are given. Each leaf bears an engraving of the arms of the
University or a College, and a short Latin poem following. The title
appears to indicate the struggle of king James and England against
Italian wiles, the words being from Virg. Aen. i. 72, where the
context bears a different meaning. The dedication shows that the poems
were written in 1606. The arms are in some respects peculiar, and were
probably engraved at Oxford.

(1–10) “Index rerum et verborum ...”: (11–21) “Catalogus authorum ...
quibus Author ... vsus est”: (21) “Errata ...”: (23–54) “Miscellanea

parishes: (55–72) “Summorum Oxoniensis Academiæ Magistratuum

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 109 (where there is much about the fate
of the MS., Twyne’s intentions, &c.) ii. 358. This is the first
history of Oxford, but to some extent thrown into a controversial
form, to prove the prior antiquity of Oxford to that of Cambridge. For
a man of 28 it is, as Wood says, a wonderful performance. Almost all
Twyne’s Oxford collections are still preserved in the University
Archives and the Library of Corpus Christi college, Oxford. See 1620

VVickliffe, exhibited to the King and Parliament”: 19–62, “A Treatise
of Iohn VVickliffe against the orders of Friars”: (1–2) “An exposition
of the hardest words,” a glossary.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 468. This is still the only printed
edition of these two works of Wyclif, edited by dr. James. The usual
titles of the treatises are “Four Articles” and “Objections of
Freres.” This book is usually found with the James volume above, which
is alluded to in the dedication. Dr. James does not specify the MSS.
from which these treatises are printed, but MS. C.C.C. (Cambr.) 296
seems to have both, while MS. Bodley 647 only contains the latter of
the two.

Contents:—sign. _a_ 1^r, title: _a_ 2^r-_a_ 4^r, “The preface to the

_b_ 1^v-_b_ 8^v, “The contents of this Booke”: A 1^r-O 4^v, the
treatise.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 209, and 1633 B, 1634 B, 1682 B (in
Latin): there are also edd. at Lond. 1623 and (in Latin) 1673. This is
a remarkable book, from the style and evident practical experience of
its author. Rude engravings occur on signn. C 7^r, C 7^v and (the
first music printed at Oxford) F 1^r. The author mentions incidentally
in the preface that a book on bees by T. H. of London (presumably
Thomas Hill’s ©Profitable instructions for the ordering of bees©,
Lond. 1579 and 1593) is really a plagiarism from Georgius Pictorius.

Sister to the Duke of Rohan”, signed “Peter du Moulin”: 1–121, the
work.
See 1634 D. The original edition of Pierre Du Moulin’s Héraclite, ou
de la Vanité et Misère de la vie humaine was printed in 1609. The
present translator was probably Robert Stafford of Exeter college, who
matr. on 15 Mar. 1604/5 at the age of 16, his father being sir Francis
(?) Stafford, see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 291, and especially Bliss’s
MS. additions in his own copy of the ©Athenæ© in the Bodleian. The
coincidence of initials with Richard Smith in the 1634 edition seems
to be accidental. See next art.

first issue has “Enuy”, the second “Envy”: (5) p. 121 l. 1 of text, the
first issue ends with “God”, the second with “God is.” But it is
difficult to say which is a reprint of the other: the second issue is
more modern in spelling and type, and the woodcut ornaments are possibly
less worn in the first. In fact it is conceivable that the second issue
is in reality a few years later.]

on p. 48 “Etiam sic sentio, sic credo. I. D.”.
For the author see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 42. This is a reprint,
omitting the poem at the end, of 1607 D. The paging is wild.

work.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 89, where Wood states that the author was
William Heale and the person opposed dr. William Gager, D.C.L. in
1589. The question “An liceat marito uxorem verberare” was one of
those selected for the degree of D.C.L., 11 July 1608, but Gager was
neither inceptor nor respondent. The lady M. H. seems from the
dedication to have commanded Heale to undertake the task of replying
and to have allowed him scant time in which to do it.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 420. Wood is mistaken in calling Reuter a
Welshman. He was a Silesian from Cottbus, as he testifies above and in
the admission register of the Bodleian, 3 Sept. 1608. L probably
stands for Licentiatus utriusque juris. He was never matriculated.

“The Alphabet Table ...,” an index.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 222. The dedication states that the
treatise was completed many years before (1595?) and that archbp.
Whitgift had it in his hands and approved it. The advertisement gives
further details of the occasion and history of the treatise. The note
alludes to Bunny’s connexion with Robert Parsons’ ©Resolution© or
©Directory©, see 1585 P, and J. Radford’s ©Directory©. See 1613 B.

for the rude style.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 346: and 1613 H. The author is the
well-known writer of the Latin and English Dictionary. From the
preface it is clear that the sermon, which is written in an
uncompromising tone, caused great opposition in Coventry, of which
town some curious details of the puritanical feeling are given: it is
now published “not altogether against” the author’s mind. See 1613 H.
