This book consists of about 80 poems (four in Greek, the rest in
Latin) in memory of sir Thomas Bodley by members of Merton college, of
which society Bodley was a fellow. The editor’s name does not appear.
Bodley died in London on Jan. 28. 1612/3, but both the dedication of
this volume and p. 117 of the ©Justa Funebria© (see below) state that
it was on Jan. 29: see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 126.

the titlepage (“Cavalliere”), followed by some Errata in the Latin:
the references oddly are to _pages_.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 293. This is a singular and uncommon
book. The author was a soldier of fortune, who was admitted as a
reader in the Bodleian as from St. Edmund hall on 27 Apr. 1611, but
did not matriculate till 5 Sept. 1612. The verso of each leaf is in
general Italian poems, and the recto of the next leaf a Latin version
of them. On signn. F 2^v and L 3^v-M 2^v are letters and testimonials
about him: at H 1^v is a poem in Italian and Latin on sir Thomas
Bodley’s death: at H 2^v begins his ©Selua© or ©Sylva© in two parts,
and at N 4^v a long and curious account in Italian and Latin verse of
his stay in England and particularly Oxford and New College, which he
was forced to leave (in 1614?) by the puritanical party. On M 3^v is
an oration delivered in Italy, and on Q 2^v is a poem in both
languages on the death of dr. Rives, which is repeated on Q 3^r. The
whole book was intended to be produced at the wedding of Frederick
elector Palatine with the princess Elizabeth (14 Feb. 1612/3), but by
the printer’s delay was too late.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 22. The author seems to have been
private chaplain to sir E. Giles. He quotes against himself in the

contains some personal matter about prince Henry of historical

At present this book is only known to me from a titlepage at the end

in Thomas Bowman’s ©Catalogus librorum© (Oxf. 1687) [sign. I1^r:—“146.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 16 & 15, and 1586 R. The commentary has
special reference to the 1st Epistle of St. Peter, and is in 10
divisions or sermons. The editor, William Hinde of Queen’s college,
seems to have long possessed the MS. of the lectures. The sermon is a
reprint of 1586 R, and an integral part of the whole volume, as the
signatures show, which for the sermon begin at T 1. Every printed page
has bounding lines to the text, margin and head-line.

given. The only copy readily traceable is that in the Bodleian which
has lost the title and following leaf, beginning on ¶ 3, as well as a
blank leaf there must have been after p. 146 (sign. K 1.) The sermons

lectures, with a page occasionally blank: (1–2) “To the Reader”:
including a few errata.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 412. The author in the Preface says that
he was appointed “Catechisme Reader” in Oriel for a year in 1612, when
these lectures were delivered. In a footnote he alludes to his father
John Day the printer. The general subjects are those of the Catechism,
but carried further.

1616 G) and Francis Rous’s ©Archæologia Attica© (see 1637 R) may be
regarded as companion works to the present volume, and are often found

the first Greek edition, as 1671 J is the first Welsh one. The
translator, John Smith of Magdalen, explains that the task was meant
as a College exercise merely, at first: and apologizes for using such
words as Ἰουβιλαῖα, Βούλλαι, Ἰνδουλγεντίαι, for νὴ Δία in a Christian
work, and for having only a month and a half to spare for the work.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 267. The circumstances of this book will
be found in Mark Pattison’s ©Isaac Casaubon© (Lond., 1875: a work
without an index), pp. 332, 347, 353, 410, esp. 438–443. Briefly,
Casaubon’s “... ad Frontonem Ducæum [Fronto Le Duc] ... Epistola ...
(Lond. 1611) was a defence of the execution of Henry Garnett in 1606,
against some Jesuit books; a reply was published at Cologne in 1613 by
Andreas Eudaemon-Johannes (L’Heureux) “... Epistola ad Amicum Gallum
... item Responsio ad Epistolam Isaaci Casauboni”, the Responsio being
dated 1612 on a separate titlepage. Then Prideaux was selected to
answer the ©Responsio©, in order to relieve Casaubon of the task: at
p. 224 he quotes Casaubon’s account of his father’s last days. There
is no real ground for Pattison’s remark that “few copies of Prideaux’s
pamphlet survive” (_ut supra_, p. 443).

For the author see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 265. This sermon was
reprinted in 1621 (London) and 1636, see 1636 P. The dedication

Periam’s to one Orford of Exeter Coll., Oxford.

Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to dr. Airay

8. 1614” signed “W. Hinde”: (5–6) “Advertisement to the Reader,” dated
as before, with “William Hinde”: 1–50, one sermon, on 2 Thess. ii. 3.
See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 16, 462. Dr. John Raynolds was Scholar,
Fellow, and President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, but at one
time or another was connected with Queen’s, Merton, New College,
University, and Oriel (©Register of the Univ. of Oxford©, vol 2, ed.
A. Clark, pt. 1, p. 4). There is no clear reference to the author
being dr. Raynolds anywhere in the volume, but the fact is undoubted.
The “Advertisement,” as a matter of printing, follows the Sermon, but
was probably intended to be torn off at that place and pasted in where
it is described above.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 16, where he mentions that Henry Jackson
was editor of all the Orations except the first two which had been
published before, see 1587 R. The funeral oration was first printed in
1607, see 1607 (Wake, 2nd ed.). From a bibliographical point of view
there is great confusion in this and the two subsequent editions of
Rainolds’s Orations (_Lond._ 1610, and _Lond._ 1628). For instance
Wood himself in his remarks about Henry Jackson has confused the
London edd. (B. C.) with the Oxford one (A).
In A (the present volume) it is impossible to reckon twelve Orations,
and the book falls into three parts (_a_) pp. [6] + 77 + [17], signn.
A-D^{12}, sectt. i-iii. above: (_b_) pp. 201 + [1], signn. A-H^{12}, I
1–5, sectt. iv-xi.: (_c_) pp. [110], signn. I 6–12, K-N^{12}, sectt.
xii-xiv. In B (Lond. 1619) _a_ is as before occupying pp. [12] +
1–106: then follows “... Rainoldi ... Orationes quinque ...” with a
separate titlepage and preface by H. Jackson, occupying pp. 107–348
[the Orations beg. ©Si quis© (1573), ©Redit agricolis© (1574), ©Si
quantum vel, cum in isto© (1577), _Si quantum ad_ (1573)]: then _b_,
pp. 349–528: then _c_, the Plutarch and Maximus Tyrius, with separate
titlepages, occupying pp. 529–624: there is no extra titlepage at end.
In C (Lond. 1628) the same four sections occupy pp. [6] + 1–92,
93–302, 303–460, 461–548, corresponding closely with B in contents.
