Acknowledgments
In the preparation of this, as with the previous and subsequent Oxford
volumes, the editors have been grateful for the support of the National
Endowment for the Humanities, which awarded the project a grant for
the years 1991 to 1994, and to the Committee on Faculty Research at
the College of William and Mary.
For expert advice, we are again indebted to Simon Bailey of the
Oxford University Archives for elucidating problems arising directly
from our sources, to the Bodleian Library for allowing the Editor in the
United Kingdom access to the on-line catalogue of its pre-1922
holdings, and to the staffs not only of the Earl Gregg Swem Library at
William and Mary, of the Library of Congress, of the Folger Library, of
Cambridge University Library and of the Library of Magdalen College,
Oxford, but of those many libraries to which our Contributing Editors
have laid siege. Many individuals, too many to enumerate, have been
generously forthcoming with expert advice and with encouragement.
To our Contributing Editors, who have pursued with pertinacity,
ingenuity and patience the identifications of the items in the inventories
our debt is obvious, but not too obvious to state. To their scholarly
labours they have had to add the frequently galling experience of
submitting, for the sake of over-all consistency, to the irksome
limitations of "the system." We thank them for their enthusiasm and
their tolerance as well as for their skills.
As one who, on being recruited to the project in the early days, won-
dered whether the whole scheme were not too fraught with ambition ever
to leave the runway, I must record here my astonishment at the level of
XIV PLRE
commitment of the General Editor. Without his cheerful determina-
tion, his constant attention to detail and his irresistible powers to
persuasion, the project would surely have foundered. With them there
seems no limit to what may be achieved.

Introduction
With this volume, PLRE continues publication of 162 book-lists1 con-
tained in the inventories taken between 1507 and 1653 under the juris-
diction of the Chancellor of Oxford University (exercised by the Vice-
Chancellor), mostly for the purposes of probate. The lists are published
in chronological order (see Order under Methodology and Format below);
twenty lists, dating from 1558 to 1570, appear in the present volume to
bring the total of Oxford lists edited in PLRE to eighty-two (see PLRE
1993, Volume 2 for the first sixty-two). The remaining lists will be
published in Volumes 4 through 7. Like all book-lists in this Oxford
series, the lists edited here are found in manuscripts in the Oxford
University Archives housed in the Bodleian, specifically in the probate
records and the Chancellors's Registers. These records have been made
available on microfilm by Research Publications under the title The
Social History of Property and Possessions: Part I: Inventories and Wills,
Including Renaissance Library Catalogues, from the Bodleian Library, Oxford,
1436-1814 (Reading, England, 1990).
A team of nearly fifty international scholars, working from transcrip-
tions of the manuscripts made by Mr. Walter Mitchell, M.A. (sometime
1 This number differs from the total given in Volume 1; in editing, several lists
were identified as printer's stock or as books borrowed from colleges, not personally
owned books.
XXII PLRE
Assistant to the Keeper of the University Archives), has been enlisted to
edit the 162 lists. By granting PLRE permission to use his transcrip-
tions, a labor of many years, Mr. Mitchell has immeasurably reduced the
time required to make this information available to the scholarly com-
munity. This professional generosity places the PLRE project and
scholars working in the Tudor and early Stuart periods greatly in Mr.
Mitchell's debt.
The purpose and three-part design of PLRE has been described in its
first volume, to which the reader is referred for details (PLRE 1992,
l:xvi-xviii). In brief, however, Part 1 of PLRE is the published form of
annotated book-lists associated with Tudor and early Stuart men and
women; PLRE 67-86 are contained in this volume. Part 2 is in elec-
tronic form and is a cumulative and more detailed catalogue of those
lists and others (Appended, or APND lists) previously published
elsewhere. It is available upon request from the General Editor and
from the Editor in the United Kingdom, and is soon to be available in
CD-ROM from the publishers. Part 3, the PLRE Cumulative Catalogue,
is a series of indices and concordances to the complete PLRE database.
This Cumulative Catalogue, which appears near the end of each volume
of PLRE, is regularly enlarged and revised to incorporate newly edited
book-lists.
Errors and Connections
Anyone with even a passing acquaintance with early book-lists knows
that their fragmentary and too often simply illegible entries make
identifying books an extremely difficult task. Further, details of these
early books resist uniformity, even when the works are identifiable; yet
this information must be uniformly entered into a database to meet the
categorical requirements of PLRE's design and purpose. However
methodical and careful the labor, providing error-free information
under such conditions is more to be wished than realized. Happily,
however, the ease with which a database can be corrected promises that
any misdirection PLRE may inadvertently provide will be temporary,
and will encourage PLRE's users to become part of the scholarly
collaboration that has always been central to the project. The editors of
PLRE ask, therefore, that errors noted and corrections proposed be
forwarded (with supporting evidence for the corrections) to either
address found in the Appendix.

INTRODUCTION XXIII
Methodology and Format
Identification and Annotation. Identification of items, the annotations,
and the bio-bibliographical introductions preceding the book-lists are
the work of diverse scholars and reflect their individual research and
study. But collaboration, intending to provide a reasonable uniformity,
is routine at all editorial stages of the PLRE project. Consistency is
necessary to avoid offering confusing information when the results of
research conducted by individual scholars are combined; it is also
required to meet the practical demands of a searchable database. For
example, editorial consultation would discourage identifying a late
sixteenth-century manuscript entry of Elucidarius poeticus as the school
text written by Johann Gast and issued, apparently, in a single edition
(1544) to the disregard of the widely published encyclopedic work of
the same name by Hermann Torrentinus, appearing as it did in at least
a dozen editions before 1600. If, however, a Contributing Editor has
good reason to question whether such an entry represents the Torrenti-
nus title, the Gast work, or Robert Estienne's book, another popular
work of that same name, the Torrentinus identification would carry one
of the standard PLRE qualifying terms, probable or perhaps. Understand-
ably, annotations to such an item may also vaiy from one Contributing
Editor to another.
Among the most troublesome entries to identify with consistency and
uniformity are the appearances, by name only, of various widely pub-
lished authors such as Virgil, Quintilian, Horace, Terence, Sallust, Lu-
cian, and Homer. On occasion, context and supplementary information
(e.g., cum commento) will help to identify these entries as Works, but
generally editors choose to qualify such items with probable or perhaps if
they do not list them as Unidentified. Similarly, when an entry consists
of the name of an author popularly associated with one particular title,
that work is assumed in the absence of a clear connection to one of his
less well-known works, with a qualification often attached. Thus, an
entry of "Agostino Dad" will usually result in an identification of
Elegantiolae, and an entry of "Theodorus, Gaza" will normally result in
an identification of Institutiones grammaticae, both usually qualified. Such
differences as may appear in identifications and commentary, then,
reflect the regard that PLRE has for reasonable disagreement among
scholars, particularly in an area of research where the primary material
is so often fragmentary and imprecise.
XXIV PLRE
Order. The book-lists are presented in chronological order by year of
the owner's death, or, if the date of death is unknown, by year of an
owner's will if extant, and then alphabetically within each year. In some
cases, however, the dates of death and a will are unknown; in others,
documents and biographical sources disagree about the dates; and in
still others, such dates are irrelevant (e.g., an inventory of books may
have been compiled for purposes other than evaluating an owner's es-
tate, with the owner dying years later). In these cases, other informa-
tion, such as the date of the inventory, is used to determine the place of
a book-list in PLRE order. An explanation of the determining date is
parenthetically appended to each owner's name in the Table of Con-
tents. For more complete information about the owners' dates of
deaths, wills, and inventories, readers are directed to the individual
introductions and to the PLRE database.
Introduction. Each book-list is preceded by an introductory essay treat-
ing biographical and bibliographical matters relating to the owner and
the collection. The introduction is not intended to provide a complete
analysis of the book-list, and even less a full study of the owner's life.
Except where two dates are provided (e.g., 25 February 1587/88), all
dates are given in new style.
Names of owners have been regularized according to modern forms
with, in many cases, variant spellings provided. Such alternate forms are
derived from published sources such as BRUO, BRU02, and Alumni
Oxonienses; whenever the form given in BRUO or BRU02 (the standard
authorities on members of Oxford University to 1540) differs from the
adopted PLRE form, it is listed first among the variants and identified.
The name of the owner at the head of the introduction is followed by:
the owner's profession and appropriate academic degrees (if any), the
kind of source the list of books is taken from (inventory, receipt, will,
etc.), and the date of that book-list.
For nearly all of these Oxford men happening to die in residence at
whatever stage of their academic career, PLRE has chosen to use the ge-
neric term "scholar" to indicate their presumed avocations at the time
of death and to distinguish graduates still at the University from those
who had gone out into the world. Most of them would have been at
least in minor orders, and a good many of them supported in their
studies by the revenue of one or more benefices, but they are not here
designated "clerics" except where there is some evidence that they were
actively serving a cure. (Similarly, medical graduates are not designated
"physician" in the absence of evidence for their actually having
INTRODUCTION XXV
practiced as such.) Instead their status is indicated either by the term
"student," for those who had not yet graduated, or by their degree or
degrees. A Doctor of Theology who had pursued the conventional
course would previously have graduated B.A., M.A., and B.Th. The
dates, and any other details, of these earlier degrees will, when
documented, be found in the introductions to each list, but in the
headings the senior degree alone will usually be found. Two degrees are
given where neither is significantly senior to the other (as in the case of
a Doctor of both Civil and Canon Law), where more than one senior
Faculty is involved (as in the case of a theologian having also qualified
in Canon Law), or when holding certain degrees together indicates the
exercise of an option (it was, for example, possible to proceed to
medical degrees either via the arts course or not: where a Bachelor of
Medicine had previously graduated M.A., both degrees are shown).
Classmarks and Transcriptions. The Oxford University Archives
classmark of the document containing the book-list and the source of
any previously published transcriptions of the list are appended to the
introduction.
Reference List. Placed between the introduction and the annotated en-
tries and serving both, a reference list provides a bibliography of works
cited in each (except for the sources found in the Common Abbrevi-
ations). The form used in the reference list is the Author-Date System
of the Chicago Manual of Style, 13th ed., 1982, 399-435.
The List of Books. The book-list is presented, with clarifying emenda-
tions, as it appears in the manuscript. Each entry is preceded by its
assigned PLRE Number.
Entries. Each entry is composed of some or all of the following:
PLRE Number Book-list entry
Name of author (alternative name of author). Title of work. Other con-
tributors. Place of publication: stationer(s), date or range of dates.
STC status. Annotations. Language(s) of book. Cost or appraised value
and date of same. Current location of the book.2
2 PLRE has attempted to avoid the use of signs and symbols; this design is most
prominently seen in the use of perhaps and probable (or probably) to convey degrees
of doubt, and of commonly employed abbreviations, such as c. and et seq.
XXVI PLRE
PLRE Number. A PLRE Number is always composed of at least two
numbers separated by a period. The number preceding the period
identifies the place of the book-list within the PLRE catalogue, and the
number following the period identifies the individual entries within that
book-list. Thus, the forty-seventh item in the third book-list published in
PLRE is assigned 3.47. A PLRE Number that carries an extension
(beginning with a colon) identifies an entry in the book-list that repre-
sents two or more works. If published separately, the works are assigned
numeric extensions (e.g., 3.48:1 and 3.48:2); if published together in
one volume, they are assigned letters (e.g., 3. 49: A and 3.49:B). Entries
that contain unidentified multiple works are assigned an appropriate
range extension (e.g., 3.50:1-4 would be used to identify "four bookes
of verse"). If the number of works listed is unknown, the extension
given is "multiple" (e.g., 3.51 multiple would be used to identify "divers
small bookes"). PLRE numbers in APND lists are preceded by Ad, as in
Ad4.36.
Book-list entry. Within certain limits, book-lists are transcribed to repro-
duce as faithfully as possible the entries as they appear in the manu-
script. The letters u/v and i/j are regularized and modernized, and
thorn is transcribed th. Readily identifiable contractions and abbrevi-
ations are not altered, (e.g., agt, Mr, and wch), but the less common
ones, along with unusual or ambiguous spellings, are followed by an
emendation placed in square brackets (e.g., The trades inclease is tran-
scribed as The trades inclease [increase]). Damaged or otherwise illegible
portions of the manuscript are treated similarly (e.g.,/*7 us [to represent
a hole between the / and the u in the manuscript] is transcribed asfil*us
[filius]). Where an item is recorded as an object of bequest in a Latin
will, its accusative form is retained.
Name of author (alternative name of author). Names are STC forms; for
names not appearing in the STC, forms are taken from a list of Uni-
form Names developed by PLRE. Uniformity, as well as ease of recogni-
tion, is the goal of PLRE in establishing names. But 1) in cases where
the established name differs from the form in the entry and may cause
confusion for the user, and 2) in cases where two different forms make
virtually equal claims for recognition among scholars, parenthetical al-
ternative forms are given. Examples: Nicolas Des Gallars is followed by
(Nicolaus Salicetus), John Holywood by (Joannes Sacrobosco), and Nicolaus
Tudeschis by (Panormitanus).
On occasion, the name of an editor will appear in this place, his role
V
INTRODUCTION XXVII
appropriately identified. Unidentified is used when the author cannot be
identified from the entry (which is different from an identified work
having been published anonymously).
Title of work. The title of a work (short title, usually terminating with the
first full stop) is entered when known. Often, however, the precise title
is impossible to determine from the truncated and abbreviated entries
commonly found in early book-lists. Further, the standard bibliograph-
ical sources (e.g., BL, Goff, Adams), on which Contributing Editors
usually depend for determining titles, frequently modify the actual
titles. The main principle here, then, must be to identify the work rather
than a particular title, especially when a work has gone through several
editions with varied titles. As with names, uniformity is essential if titles
in the PLRE database are to be selected for analysis. Accordingly, a Uni-
form Titles list has been developed by PLRE along the following princi-
ples: 1) a work that exists in a single edition is identified by its short
title; 2) a work that exists in two or more editions that bear only slightly
varying titles is identified by one of these titles; 3) a work that exists in
several editions with widely varied titles is identified by an artificial title,
a) in a construction to reflect one or more of the existing titles, but b)
often in a construction designed to describe the work without any
attempt to simulate a title. Artificial titles are always enclosed in square
brackets. Livy's [Historiae Romanae decades] is an example of the first
kind of artificial title mentioned above (3a), and [Aristotle-Ethica: com-
mentary] by Walter Burley is an example of the latter (3b). Unidentified
is provided when the precise work represented by the entry cannot be
determined.
Other contributors. The names of translators, editors, compilers, and illus-
trators (their contributions appropriately described) are found here.
The forms used follow the same principles described in the section
Name of author above.
Place of publication. If an entry is identified as a single edition of a single
work, the city of publication is provided, regularized and modernized.
If the entry represents a work of more than one edition printed in
more than one city, one of three general locations is provided: Britain
(if the identified printing houses were all in the British Isles), Continent
(if the identified printing houses were all located on the Continent),
and Britain or Continent (if editions were known to have been issued
from different presses located in the British Isles and on the Conti-
XXVIII PLRE
nent). If a work is completely unidentified, the phrase Place unknown is
used; where the place of publication of an identified book is unknown,
the phrase Place not given is used.
Stationer(s). When an entry represents a specific, identifiable edition,
every stationer involved in the publication of the book (printer, publish-
er, bookseller) is supplied. But since Contributing Editors generally rely
upon bibliographical sources rather than a copy of the identified book
for this information, the forms of presentation differ. Accordingly,
varied forms will be found, such as: "G. Eld for L. Lisle" and "per
Johannem Barbier, expensis Dionisii Roce," but also the non-distin-
guishing "George Bishop, Ralph Newberie, and Robert Barker"; the
same stationer will appear in various constructions: "ap. J. Dayum," but
elsewhere "John Day" and "J. Daye." All stationers, however, are
accessible by uniform names in the database.
When a work is identified as having been published in a single city,
but the precise edition of several possibilities issued by different print-
ing houses cannot be determined, the phrase different houses is given. If
the place of publication is identified as Britain, Continent, or Britain or
Continent— signifying the impossibility of determining a precise place of
publication— the impossibility of determining the stationer obviously fol-
lows and this section is left blank. Stationer unknown is used when a
work is completely unidentified or when the printer, publisher, or book-
seller for a known book has not been identified by bibliographers.
Date or range of dates. If a precise date of publication is known, it is
provided. If two or more editions of different dates are possibilities,
either a range of dates (given as, for example, 1562-1573) or the phrase
date indeterminable is provided. NOTE: except for works listed in the
STC and in Shaaber (which together offer for English authors a prac-
tical comprehensiveness if not absolute inclusiveness) date ranges must
be understood to be at best a guide. The range represents the limit
known to the Contributing Editor who has consulted a number of bibli-
ographical sources, but the chance that at least one earlier or later edi-
tion exists unknown to the Contributing Editor remains a possibility.
The same reservation also applies to works presented as a sole edition,
and doubts, therefore, must be harbored even when a single date is
given. A work, however, that is known to have gone through several edi-
tions over several years understandably invites questions about any
attempt to assign a date range with certainty (excepting the few authors
for whom comprehensive censuses exist). Such uncertainty is particular-
INTRODUCTION XXIX
ly a problem with authors who were widely published during this period
(Aristotle, Saint Augustine, Cicero, Duns, Scotus, Peter Lombard, and
Virgil, to name but a few).
STC status, A variety of self-explanatory phrases appear in this section,
but the primary purpose of this information is to identify the work rep-
resented as an STC (or Wing) book. When a work is known to have
been published both in England and on the Continent, and the edition
cannot be identified, its STC (or Wing) number and its non-STC status
are both cited. If, however, an entry is unidentified, nothing can be
determined about its place of publication; therefore, the phrase
STC/non-STC status unknown is used. When a work issued in more than
one edition is identified as an STC (or Wing) book, but the precise
edition cannot be determined, only the first possible STC (or Wing)
number is given, and et seq. is appended.
Here also is indicated whether an entry is considered to be
something other than a printed book, e.g., a manuscript or a book of
blank leaves intended for use as a notebook. An entry is assumed to be
a printed book unless clear evidence is provided to the contrary (the
use of terms and phrases such as scriptus, books of parchment, written
sermons, or a book of clean paper).
Annotations. Here Contributing Editors furnish whatever information
they believe will be useful and instructive in connection with the entry.
All citations are abbreviated according to the Chicago Manual of Style's
Author-Date System (Chapter 15); full bibliographical sources are found
in the Common Abbreviations and in the Reference Lists appended to
the individual introductions to book-lists.
Language(s). The language (or languages) of the book is given here. If
multiple, the languages are listed, without punctuation, in alphabetical
order and in the order of probability. Thus, English Greek Latin will be
found if all are known to have been employed, but Latin Greek (prob-
able) English (perhaps) when doubts of varying degrees exist. Sometimes
the word "or," expressing further doubt about which language was em-
ployed, is entered. Thus, English (probable) or Latin (perhaps) will be
found.
Cost or appraised value and date of same. Either 1) the amount the owner
paid for the book represented or 2) its appraised value as estimated by
the compiler of the book-list is furnished here; the date when the
XXX PLRE
amount was paid or when the appraisal was made is usually limited to
a year, which always precedes the day and month when they are given.
Current location of the book. This information is restricted to the physical
book cited in the book-list and should not be misunderstood to identify
locations of other copies of the book. Whenever possible, the reposito-
ries are cited as they appear in the STC (l:xlix-liii), identified by name,
not by symbol.

The sheets bearing the list below are inserted in the inventory of David
Tolley (see BRU02, 570-71, 740-41 and PLRE 68), and BRU02 (740-41)
printed the list as part of Tolley's collection of books (items 1-228). Unlike
the portion of the inventory definitely Tolley's, however, the inserted list is
written in a good italic hand and bears no appraisal values. Nor does it
carry any heading. Jayne ([1956] 1983, 134), recognizing that the list should
be distinguished from Tolley's, conjectured c.1600 for its date in the
absence of the owner's identity. Recently, however, the date and ownership
have been addressed by giving attention to two notes at the foot of the list.
The first note reads: "mr babyngton the proctor hathe sten [certain] bokes
besides thes as hit appereth by a byll of his one [own] hand," and the
second: "Also mr smythe of mton [Merton] collige hathe some the wch mr
browne had of mton collyge." The first dates the list to the proctorship,
1557 to 1558, of Francis Babington (Master of Balliol, 1559; Rector of
Lincoln and Vice-Chancellor, 1560) while the second gives evidence that the
owner was William Brown of Merton (Ker, 471 n. 1, and McConica, 703),
who, like Tolley, died in 1558.
Brown ([Browne] BRU02, 78) came from the West Country and first
appears in the records of the University as a scholar of St. Alban's Hall. He
proceeded B.A. in 1533 and M.A. in 1539, embarking thereafter on the
theology course. Meanwhile, he had been elected a Fellow of Merton in
1537 and served, in the fullness of time, as third bursar (1547-48), second
bursar (1539-40, 1543-44 and 1546-47), first bursar (1550-51) and princi-
pal of the post-masters (i.e., scholars) (1545-46). His aptitude for worldly
business was recognized by the University with his appointment in 1539 as
Clerk of the Market, and his deserts acknowledged by the ecclesiastical
establishment by his appointment in 1554 as a prebendary of Barton and
Canon of Wells. His college marked him as a very shrewd philosopher
(argutissimus philosophus). He died on 19 August 1558 leaving ten pounds to
2 PLRE 67
Merton where, it may be inferred, he had maintained his principal resi-
dence.
This extensive list is particularly rich in literary material and in grammar
and rhetoric. Practically all major classical poets and dramatists known in
the period figure here, often in more than one edition, sometimes in Greek
and Latin separately, together with many of the historians. There is also a
smattering of Neo-Latin literature, and a few works of contemporary
political interest. The list contains several bibliographical rarities and
several works in the vernacular or in English translation.

The balance of probability is difficult to determine between Leonardo

of the presence of a good deal of Homer in Brown's collection, the Latin
translation of the Batrachomyomachia by Carolus Marsuppini, under the title

David Tolley. Physician (M.A., B.M.):
Probate Inventory. 1558
KATY HOOPER
David Tolley (Tablaeus, Talley, Taulaeus, Tavelegus, Tayley, Tolleius, Tolly,
Towle, Towley, Toyley) was born c.1506 in Kingsbridge, Devon. He went up
to St. Mary's Hall at Oxford, and took the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and
Master of Arts, incepting as Master of Arts in February 1528. He then took
the degree of Bachelor of Medicine, and was admitted to practice in
February 1532. In June 1533 he supplicated for the Doctorate in Medicine.
Tolley is recorded as a scholar of St. Mary's Hall in 1522 and 1534, and
as a senior student (theologus) of Christ Church in 1549. He held the posts
of Keeper of the Shelton and Warwick chest in 1528, Keeper of the Vienne
chest 1531-33, and exorcist in 1534.
Tolley had a reputation in his own time as a classical scholar and teacher
of grammar in the University. His own works include Progymnasmata gram-
matice Graece (written for the use of Edward, Prince of Wales, whose copy
survives in the British Library at BL C.28.a.l4), Grammatica regia, Institutio-
nes linguae graecae and Themata Homeri. (BRU02, 570-71 and Athenae
Oxonienses, 1:195).
Tolley's library has been taken to be much larger than the fifty titles re-
corded here, by confusion with the inventory of William Brown, fellow of
Merton, who also died in 1558, to which inventory it has, inexplicably, been
stitched for many years. The transcript printed by Emden, as noted below,
is a conflation of the two libraries. (For Brown's library, see PLRE 67.) The
medical section of the library forms two-thirds of the whole and is dominat-
ed by the writings of Galen, Hippocrates and Avicenna, the classic texts of
the medical curriculum. The remainder is divided chiefly between theology
and grammar. Horman's Vulgaria is the only book in the library definitely
printed in England and in a language (English) other than Greek or Latin.

Language(s): Greek. Appraised at 4s in 1558.
68.2 Epistole manardi
Joannes Manardus. [Epistolae viedicinales]. Continent: 1521-1557.
This commentary on Mesue appeared in several editions, with different
titles, during the first half of the sixteenth century; it is possible but less
likely that this entry represents the compendium published in Lyons in
1556 under the title Epistolae medicinales {Wellcome no. 2050) in which
Manardus is the first named author. Language(s): Latin Greek (perhaps).
Appraised at 2s in 1558.
68.3 dioscorides grece et Latine
Dioscorides. De medica materia. Continent: 1529-1549.
There is another entry for this text at 68.18, appraised at the lower sum
of 14d; the rough draft of the inventory specifies in octavo for the later
entry, which suggests that this entry may represent the folio edition printed
in Cologne, 1529, by Joannes Soter, in the translation by Marcellus Vergili-
us. Language(s): Greek Latin. Appraised at 2s 6d in 1558.

Alexander, Traliianus. Libri duodecim [medicinae] graeci et latini. Edited by
Jacques Goupyl with Latin translation by Joannes Guinterius (Andernacus).
Basle: per H. Petrum, 1556.
The rough draft of the inventory adds "grece et latine," which narrows
the possible editions to that printed in Basle in 1556, the tide-page of which
prominently identifies the two languages. Language(s): Greek Latin. Ap-
praised at 6d in 1558.
68.14 Compendium fushii
Leonard Fuchs. [Methodus, sen ratio compendiaria perveniendi ad medici-
nam]. Continent: 1531-1550.
Likely, one of the earlier editions, which begin: Compendiaria. . . . Lan-

Dioscorides. De medica materia. Continent: date indeterminable.
The rough draft of the inventory adds "in 8"; there is another entry for
this text at 68.3 at the higher valuation of 25 6d. Language(s): Greek Latin.
Appraised at 14d in 1558.
68.19 Galenus de sanitate tuenda
Galen. De sanitate tuenda. Continent: 1517-1549.
The rough draft of the inventory adds "cum aliis." Another copy at
68.24. Language(s): Latin (probable) Greek (perhaps). Appraised at lOd in
1558.
68.20 Chirurgia tagaltii
Joannes Tagaultius. De chirurgia institutions Continent: 1543-1549.
The work is also the leading item in Chirurgia, edited by Conrad Gesner
(Zurich, 1555). Language(s): Latin. Appraised at lOd in 1558.
David Tolley 41
68.21 fushius in aphorismos Ipocratis
Leonard Fuchs. In Hippocratis . . . septem Aphorismorum libris [sic] commen-
taria. Translated by Leonard Fuchs, with his explanations of Galen's com-
mentary on the text. Lyon: (different houses), 1558-1559.
Conceivably, the edition of Hippocrates' work that first appeared in 1544
with Fuchs's commentary, but the entry suggests this work. See 68.35 for
the same text at the lower valuation of 4d. Language(s): Greek Latin.
Appraised at 6d in 1558.
68.22 Lexicon grece et Latine
Unidentified [dictionary]. Continent: date indeterminable.

68.24 Erasmus de tuenda valetudine
Galen. De sanitate tuenda. Basle: (different houses), 1538 [colophon:
1539]-1549.
The rough draft of the inventory adds "grece." The Greek editions
issued in Basle (see NLM6 no. 1925 and Adams G109) give the title in the
entry's form (in Greek: Ilepl oyieiv&v pipAJcc £i;) rather than the more
usual De sanitate tuenda. Probably Erasmus is a simple mistake, carried down
from the preceding entry, although his own Encomium artis medicae did
appear in 1525 in Paulus, Aegineta, Salubria de tuenda valetudine praecepta
{Wellcome no. 4860). Another copy at 68.19. Language(s): Greek. Appraised

praised at lOd in 1558.
68.31 galenus de locis affectis
Galen. De locis affectis. Continent: 1510-1557.
There were numerous editions of Copus's Latin translation, and Fuchs's
translation appeared 1549-1554, but the entry might alternatively represent
either the 1540 or the 1554 Greek edition. Language(s): Latin (probable)
Greek (perhaps). Appraised at 6d in 1558.

Conceivably, the edition of Hippocrates' work that first appeared in 1544

Thomas Allen. Scholar (B.A.):
Probate Inventory. 1561
CHARLES A. HUTTAR
Thomas Allen (Aleyn [BRU02], Alan, Alen, Alyn, Alyne) was admitted to the
degree Bachelor of Arts in May 1522 and elected a Probationary Fellow of Bal-
liol College in 1523 (BRU02, 5; further details in Boase, 118). He is named as
"Mr Alyne of Baylie" in the inventory on decease made 17 October 1561.
His library of some thirty-five volumes reflects a strong conservatism and
suggests he would have been more comfortable during the reign of Queen
Mary than in the final years of his tenure after the accession of Elizabeth I.
About a third of his library is theology, in which, alongside older authorities
such as Augustine and Lyra, he has a handful of contemporary works by
such Catholic writers as the German Franciscan Franz Titelmann and the
younger Englishman William Allen— possibly a relative— who would finally
become a cardinal. They include works expounding and defending the doc-
trines of Purgatory and of the Eucharist. The only Protestant writer is Stur-
mius, and Allen's book by him is as likely to be a work on education or a
commentary on an ancient text as a work of theological controversy.
Classic texts make up another third of the collection. Standard school
fare, they include two in Greek, a good deal more prose than poetry, pos-
sibly one or two Erasmian editions, the faintly nonestablishment authors
Lucretius and Lucian, and perhaps a slight stress on oratory with Demos-
thenes and Livy's Condones. Supplementing these are Erasmus's handbook
on copia, the old warhorse Perottus, and one or two newer rhetoric or
grammar textbooks.
One gets the impression that nearly all the humanist part of Allen's li-
brary could have been in place very early in his academic career. Only the
works in conservative theology are necessarily newer acquisitions. And the
only "modern" tone in the collection comes from Erasmus's Colloquies, to-
gether with its forerunner Lucian. His scientific books are standard texts
composed at least two centuries before.
46 __ PLRE 69
Only one of Allen's books, an Oxford imprint, can be identified with any
assurance as an STC volume. Nearly all are printed works. With one excep-
tion, all are in Latin or Greek so far as can be determined. No individual
appraisals are given.

Augustine, Saint. Probably [Works]. Continent (probable): date(s) indeter-

Probably not STC books, but see STC 919 et seq. if a collection of six
separately published titles. There was at least one edition of the Works in six
volumes. Alternatively, these six volumes could be a fragment of any of
several early sixteenth-century editions in seven to eleven volumes (e.g.,
Erasmus, 10 vols., 1529); or they might be separate titles; or they could be
a ten-volume set bound in six. Language(s): Latin.
69.2 plinie de historia animalium
Pliny, the Elder. Probably part of Historia naturalis. Continent (probable):

Probably a printed book, but perhaps a manuscript. Books 8-12 of the

word mattheum, both deleted. In printed editions of this work the Incipit
typically identified it as "super Matheum," delaying full identification until
the Explicit, e.g., "Postilla Nicolai de lira super quatuor evangeliis cum
Additionibus Pauli Burgensis episcopi et cum Replicationibus fratris Mathei
do ring ordinis minorum" (BL: Mantua, 1477). Perhaps the text as well. Lan-
guage(s): Latin.

69.5 opus mathematicum
Unidentified. Place unknown: stationer unknown, date indeterminable.
STC/non-STC status unknown. Joannes Taisnier's Opus mathematicum is
too late for this 1561 inventory if its 1562 date is accurate. Language(s):
Latin (probable).
69.6 lucrecius
Titus Lucretius Carus. De return natura. Continent: date indeterminable.
Language(s): Latin.
69.7 alin de purgatorio
William Allen, Cardinal. A defense and declaration of the catholike churchies
[sic] dactrine, touching purgatory. Louvain (perhaps): c.1561
Manuscript. Cardinal Allen's work on Purgatory (STC 371) was first pub-
lished in Antwerp in 1565, too late for this inventory. In the Epistle, dated
2 May 1565, however, Allen tells the reader that at a friend's request he had
previously written a short explanation of the doctrine of Purgatory and
prayers for the departed. The friend, Allen writes, made this "rude" com-
position "common to many moe, then I woulde my selfe." Allen therefore
decided, despite his "lacke of yeares" and his reluctance to provoke con-
troversy that would keep him from other studies, to "make a more full dec-
laration" of what he "had so briefly touched before" (fol. 2v). According to
Nicholas Fitzherbert, Allen's biographer, the work was written in 1561 while
Allen was in Louvain and made a considerable impact despite its being in
English (see Southern 1950, 380). What is here inventoried, then, is neces-
sarily the short version, in manuscript, which was later ("these late
mounthes," Allen writes, fol. 5r) expanded for publication. Conceivably,
William was related to Thomas, who was some thirty years his elder, al-
though we know too little about the latter to do more than speculate. Such
a connection would, however, help explain the appearance of the earlier
manuscript form of this work in Thomas's library. The title was probably
given in Latin for academic respectability (see BCI 1:322, entry 103). Lan-
guage(s): English (probable).

Joannes Balbus (dejanua). Catholicon. Continent: 1460-1520.

Thomas Allen 49
Probably not an STC book, but see STC 19767.3 et seq. Either his popu-
lar Cornucopia or his often printed (once in London) Rudimenta grammatices.
Manuscript entry has, between the two words, "pp" deleted. The hand-
writing in the second word is abnormal. The word might be read as "per-
vatt," a name unidentifiable except possibly as that of Nicole Prevost
(Nicolaus Praepositi), author of Dispensarium ad aromatorios, which appeared
in several Continental editions between c.1490 and 1538 (e.g., Adams
N244). Language(s): Latin.
69.11:1 Anthonius andreas de Spera mundi
Antonius Andreae. Unidentified. Continent: date indeterminable.
Taken to be a double entry since Antonius Andreae, whose philosophical
works based on Aristotle were much read in early sixteenth-century Oxford,
is not known to have interested himself in the Sphaera mundi of John Holy-
wood (Joannes Sacrobosco), or of the De mundi sphaera of Oronce Fine.
Conceivably bound with 69.11:2. Language(s): Latin (probable).
69.11:2 [See 69.11:1]
Unidentified. Continent (probable): date indeterminable.
Either the work of John Holywood (Joannes Sacrobosco) or that of
Oronce Fine is most likely intended here. Works by Diadochus Proclus and
by Joannes Stoeffler are less likely possibilities. See the notes to 69.11:1,
with which this may have been bound. Language(s): Latin (probable).
69.12 officia Ciceronis
Marcus Tullius Cicero. De officiis. Continent (probable): date indetermi-
nable.
Probably not an STC book, but see 5278 et seq. Commonly this work is

STC/non-STC status unknown. STC lists twelve editions or issues of four
different books by Despautere— nearly all published in Scotland. Adams
D330-67 displays a wider range of titles and editions from Continental
presses. His collected works appeared in 1537 (Adams D338) under the title
Commentarii grammatici. Language(s): Latin.
50 PLRE 69
69.15 Johannes Sturm ius
Joannes Sturmius. Unidentified. Continent (probable): date indetermina-

Probably a non^STC book, but see STC 23407. Sturmius was highly
regarded as a classical scholar and as a writer on educational and theologi-
cal matters. Only one work of his was published in England by the time of
this inventory. Language(s): Latin.

There is an English translation, STC 4337, within the period before
1561. Language(s): Latin.
69.17 titlemannus
Franz Titelmann. Unidentified. Continent: date indeterminable.
Besides commentaries on most of the New Testament and the poetical
books of the Old Testament, Titelmann wrote devotional works on the
Mass (1549) and on Christian doctrine (1555), as well as De considerations
rerum naturalium (1530), a study of Aristotle's Dialectics (1543), controversial
writings against Erasmus, and a variety of other works. Language(s): Latin.
69.18 luciani dialogi grece et latine
Lucian, of Samosata. [Dialogues-Selected]. Continent: date indeterminable.
Conceivably the collected works. Language(s): Greek Latin.
69.19 wyllin bergensis
Unidentified. Continent (probable): date indeterminable.
Almost certainly not an STC book, and perhaps a manuscript. Probably
the Latini eloquii synonymorum collectanea or one of the philosophical
writings of Hieronymus Wildenbergius. Alternatively, perhaps the Rerum
Anglicarum of William, of Newburgh (Neubrigensis) or the Chirurgia of
Wilhelm von Congeinna (Burgensis), neither of which was printed by the
date of this inventory. Language(s): Latin (probable).

Thomas Griffith. Scholar, perhaps Physician
(MA, perhaps B.M.): Probate Inventory. 1562
MARGERY H. SMITH, C.S.J.
Of the Thomas Griffith, M.A., associated with the following book-list, all
that is known is found in Alumni Oxonienses where he is described as having
been a Fellow of Corpus Christi College (2:612). A contemporary of this
Griffith, also Thomas Griffith, M.A., is cited in Alumni Oxonienses as having
been a Fellow of Oriel College, supplicating in June 1562 for both the
degree of Bachelor of Medicine and the "leave to practice" (2:612). The
Corpus Christi Griffith is not mentioned by Fowler (1893), nor does he
seem to make any appearance in the records of the College. Similarly, there
is no evidence of the Oriel Griffith after his supplication for the medical
degree. While the Fellows of Corpus Christi were, by and large, theologians,
its statutes stated that one was to be "medicus deputatus" and allowed to
study medicine, probably to provide treatment for the other members of
the College. Fowler (1893, 372-73) extracted a list of these medicinae
deputati from the College Register, a list he believed to be "tolerably
complete" (372). Griffith's name is not listed. But people did move between
colleges, and the physician Griffith had no fellowship to keep him at Oriel
after June 1562. In light of the high proportion of medical texts in this
collection, along with the paucity of theological works, it seems reasonable
to consider the Oriel Thomas Griffith, probably a practicing physician after
mid-1562, to have been the Thomas Griffith who owned the books listed
below, whether he was the same as or different from the Corpus Christi
Griffith cited separately in Alumni Oxonienses.
Medical works constitute about a third of the collection, both the
ancients (including Galen, Dioscorides, Hippocrates, Avicenna, and Rhazes)
and more recent writers (including Leonard Fuchs, Joannes Argenterius,
and Joannes Baptista Montanus). Theology is hardly represented, but the
classics are, including works by Sophocles, Euripides, Xenophon, Cicero,
Homer, Virgil, and, of course, Aristotle. Modern humanists are represented
by Erasmus and Budaeus. Only one work in the list definitely came from an
54 PLRE 70
English press, John White's Diacosiomartyrion, and only about a half-dozen
of the remaining could possibly have been printed in England.

Nicholas Sykes. Butler: Probate Inventory, 1562
J. R. ROMANO
Nicholas Sykes (Syckes), butler of Christ Church, enjoyed the "privileged"
status in law accorded to college and university retainers and is among the
handful of such privileged persons in sixteenth-century Oxford whose
probate inventories contain books (Ker, 470 n. 3). While not formally an
academic member of the college or university community, Sykes may,
however, have been an unmatriculated student financing his way from his
stipend as butler, a practice that was not unknown.
For the most part, his books focus on the theological controversies of
the Reformation and reflect both Roman Catholic and Protestant opinion.
The spectrum of Protestant authors in Sykes's collection ranges from
Lutheran positions to Calvinism, with various Swiss and German positions
between, but does not extend to the more radical sorts of Protestant
thought such as Anabaptism. Although neither a cleric nor a member of
the university, Sykes's interest is not surprising for one who had just lived
through the reign of Mary Tudor and the first years of the Elizabethan
setdement in religion.
Only five of the forty-two items in his inventory are definitely secular:
two dictionaries, a Greek grammar, Quintus Curtius Rufus, and Cicero's De
qfficiis. A sixth possibility is only conjecturally identified as a work by
Claudius Claudianus. What was to be found in the "nomber of other smale
bokes" that concludes the inventory remains a tantalizing, unanswered
question.

71.4 Bible of Tygur
The Bible. Zurich (probable): probably Christoph Froschouer, date inde-

The transactions of the first four councils of the Church were of great
interest in Reformation controversy and editions of the transactions were
printed on the Continent, notably at Paris, 1524 and 1535, and at Cologne
in 1530. Gene* Ramus is surely a slip for "Generalium." Language(s): Latin.

Althamer (1498-1564) took the Protestant position, defending Luther in
Berne in 1527 and 1528. Saint Augustine's work also very possible; see

Martin Perez de Ayala, Archbishop of Valentia. Perhaps De divinis apostoli-

Perez de Ayala was a peritus at the Council of Trent. The most likely of
his works to interest an Englishman would be this one. Language(s): Latin.
Appraised at 20d in 1562.
71.18 Confessio Polonica
Probably Stanislaus Hozyusz, Cardinal. Confessio catholicae Jidei Christiana.
Continent: 1551-1562.
Hozyusz defended the Catholic position and was known as a "hammer"

Caspar Ursinus Velius's less widely published Epitome chronicarum (1533

Nicholas Sykes 73
71.24 Acta Romanoram
Perhaps John Bale. Acta Romanoram pontificum. Continent: 1558-1560.
Other identifications are of course possible, but given the theological
and polemical bias of Sykes's books, this identification seems likely. Bale's
work, however, is usually abbreviated as Acta pontificum (Shaaber B79ff.).
Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 8d in 1562.

Probably not an STC book but see STC 20843. Language(s): Latin. Ap-
praised at 12d in 1562.
71.27 loci communes Althameri
Andreas Althamer. Perhaps Concilatio locorum scripturae. Continent:
1530-1561.
Althamer is not known to have composed a loci communes although he
did compose a Lutheran catechism, perhaps the first to use the question
and answer format. While this work may be taken as his loci communes, the
Concilatio seems more likely. The work went through more than a dozen
editions by 1562. For what is perhaps a second copy, see 71.13. Language(s):
Latin. Appraised at 3d in 1562.
71.28 Homister
Johann Hoffmeister. Unidentified. Continent: date indeterminable.
Hoffmeister (c. 1509- 1547), general of the German Augustian friars,

corruptions in the Roman Catholic Church and to maintain that Church in
Germany. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 12d in 1562.

Henry Townrow. Scholar (B.A.):
Probate Inventory. 1565
CAROL ANNE VOGEL JONES
Henry Townrow (Towneraw, Townerow, Townerowc) matriculated from
Lincolnshire to Corpus Christi College, Oxford, on August 31, 1555
(Fowler 1893, 387), but was granted a Bachelor of Arts degree on July 29,
1557 from Brasenose College (Oxford Univ. 1909, 1:27). At the time of his
death in 1565, he was listed as a "B.A. of Brasenose" {Alumni Oxonienses,
1499). The inventory of his few goods is dated 29 October 1565.
Townrow's academic career spanned the turbulent years at Oxford in
which Mary Tudor reasserted conservative religious and scholastic values
and in which Elizabeth's accession brought a resurgence of Reformation
values and more humanistic reforms from the Continent. The book list
reveals, on the whole, a standard selection of conservative undergraduate
texts in rhetoric, logic, philosophy, theology, as well as Latin and Greek
grammar, history, and literature, although three works by Erasmus stand
out in a library of eighteen volumes.

Richard Cliff. Cleric (chaplain), Scholar (M.A.):
Probate Inventory and Will. 1566
DAVID PEARSON
The biographical tale of Richard Cliff (Clef, Cleve, Clif, Clive, Clyf, Clyffe)
is soon told, and depends almost entirely on the brief details given by
Foster {Alumni Oxonienses 1:291); he proceeded B.A. on 24 July 1555, M.A.
on 23 June 1560, became chaplain at Christ Church sometime before 1564,
and died in 1566, when his will was proved at Oxford on 14 March. The
University Register adds only the rather inconsequential scraps of informa-
tion that he originally supplicated for BA. degree on 9 December 1553,
and that he disputed twice on 14 October 1560 (Boase, 223). He does not
surface in Wood's Athenae Oxonienses, or in any other of the standard bio-
graphical sources. If we hazard a guess that he may have been twenty when he
took his B.A., he cannot have been much over thirty when he died.
The paucity of biographical information is unfortunate, as he appears to
have had a personal library much larger than average for a fairly junior
member of the University, especially for one who died so young. His total
of 261 volumes, as recorded in the probate inventory and his will,
considerably overshadows the collections of the thirteen other Oxford men
who died in the 1560s whose book-lists are transcribed in this volume; only
one of these extends beyond double figures (but see the collection of
William Brown who died in 1558, PLRE 67, which totalled 242 items).
Comparison with the Cambridge probate inventories reinforces this impres-
sion of Cliffs library; none of the lists of the 1560s approach his in size,
and the only contemporary Cambridge collection which is in the same
league (indeed, in a rather higher one), is that of John Bateman (d.1559),
running to over 400 books (BCI 1:234-244). Cliffs books formed the major
portion of his estate; the individual valuations add up to £16 25 4rf, con-
siderably more than the £4 \§s \\d at which the rest of his possessions were
assessed. This "houshould stuffe" comprised the usual mixture of beds,
linen, and odd pieces of furniture ("a baso[n]," "a coverd desk," "a
cha[m]ber pot," "an habytt wt a hoode"); the last item on the list, "a bow
Richard Cliff 81
& viii arrows," presumably offers a glimpse of Cliffs recreational activities.
The contents of the collection offer no great surprises. The entries on
the inventory are brief and cursory, and identifications are often tentative
at best. We can, however, be confident that most of Cliffs books were
printed on the Continent, and they would have been variously dated
between the end of the fifteenth century and the time of his death. There
are a number of entries for books first printed in the 1560s, supporting the
assumption that this was a growing collection accumulated throughout
Cliffs academic career (see 73.12, 73.25, 73.36, 73.88, 73.130, 73.136,
73.139, 73.142, 73.149, 73.216, and 73.243).
The central importance of Aristotle in the sixteenth-century Oxford arts
curriculum is reflected in the numerous Aristotelian texts recorded in the
inventory (often unidentifiable beyond "una pars Aristotelis graecae," etc.)
and in the commentaries on Aristode's works by de Mouchy, Dedicus,
Faber, Stapulensis, Velcurio and others. The presence of texts like the
Libellus sophistarum ad usum Oxoniensium shows that the late medieval
traditions of Oxford sophistry survived into Cliffs generation despite
reform of the curriculum earlier in the century. The church fathers are
modesdy represented (a little Augustine, Cyprian, Cyril, St. John, Chrysos-
tom, but not apparently Hilary, Jerome, or Tertullian) but not as well as the
Reformers. There are commentaries, homilies, and other writings by
Brentz, Bucer, Bullinger, Calvin (but only the Institutio Christianae religionis),
Luther, Melanchthon, Musculus, Oecolampadius, Vermigli, Walther, and
Zwingli. Contemporary English controversial writings do not surface in the
list very often: Calfhill against Martial, Jewel against Harding, Nowell
against Dorman. Cliff also had at least one copy of Jewel's Apologia, and of
Cranmer's defense of the Protestant view of the sacraments {Defensio verae
et catholicae doctrinae de sacramento). Erasmus is well represented in his
collection, as are classical authors, both Latin and Greek: Caesar, Cicero,
Florus, Horace, Ovid, Plautus, Quintilian, Terence, Valerius Maximus,
Virgil; Euripides, Hesiod, Homer, Lucian, Sophocles, Thucydides. There is
not much by way of medical or scientific texts, although there are a few
standard mathematical works such as Euclid, Fine, and Sacrobosco. There
is similarly little law, or geography. Cliff clearly had a reasonably wide
linguistic command, as he had texts in Greek and Hebrew as well as English
and Latin; he also had a copy of Sebastian Muenster's Dictionarium Chaldai-
cum.
Cliffs will (Oxford Chancellor's Register, Hyp.A.5; Reg. GG), made on
19 January 1566, makes provision for a few specific books, for which see
73.257-61. These books, and particularly the descriptions that accompany
them in the will, leave little doubt about the strength of Cliffs puritan
inclinations. The bulk of Cliffs library must have gone to his brothers
Robert and Piers, who were the residuary legatees.
Except for one item (73.18), the whereabouts of Cliffs books today are
unknown; inquiries at Christ Church have failed to identify others. Quite
82 PLRE 73
possibly, Cliff did not mark his books in any way. His book list is the most
substantial record of his existence that he bequeathed to posterity, and the
only memorial he is likely to have.
I would like to include here a sincere and grateful acknowledgment of
the help and advice rendered by Elisabeth Leedham-Green in elucidating
some of the more challenging entries in the list.

at 7s in 1566.
73.131 theoph in evang et
Probably Theophylact, Archbishop ofAchrida. [Selected works: commentaries].
Continent: date indeterminable.
Because of the et at the end of the truncated entry, the item is assumed
to contain more than Theophylact's commentary on the Gospels. Whether
it is a collection as suggested by the conjectural identification or more than
one book cannot be determined. See Adams T596. Language(s): Latin.
Appraised at 3s 4d in 1566.

Interpretatio propriorum nominum Hebraicorum). It was also printed separately
(Adams SI 824). Language(s): Hebrew Latin. Appraised at 16d in 1566.
73.135 Apotheg
Perhaps Desiderius Erasmus. Apophthegmata. Continent (probable): 1531-
1565.
Almost certainly not an STC book. An English translation in 1542 (STC
10443). Joannes Stobaeus and Conrad Lycosthenes are among other, less
likely possibilities. See 73.31 and 73.185. Language(s): Latin (probable).

73.140 decre conci trent
Canones et decreta Concilii Tridentini. (Councils-Trent). Continent: date in-
determinable.
One of the various collections with titles beginning Canones et decreta
(first in Adams, C2795, 1564) seems more likely than the Acta Concilii
Tridentini which first appeared in 1546 (Adams C2783). See also separate
decrees, Adams C2822 et seq. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 4d in 1566.

73. 144 cleonar
Nicolaus Clenardus. Perhaps [Institutiones linguae graecae]. Continent:
1538-1565.
Clenardus's popular Tabula in grammaticen hebraem, given Cliffs collec-
tion of books in Hebrew, is another possibility. See also 73.129 and 73.220.
Language(s): Latin Greek (probable). Appraised at 4d in 1566.
73.145 trape
Georgius Trapezuntius. Probably [Dialecticd]. Continent: date indetermi-
nable.
The Diabetica brevis seems more likely in view of the low valuation.
Trapezuntius 's Rhetorica is consistently appraised at a higher value (see
73.64). See BCI 2:755, PLRE 47.34, 60.62, and 60.80 for the valuations
assigned to these titles. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at Id in 1566.

73.148 ErasPsal
Desiderius Erasmus. [Psalms: commentary]. Continent: 1515-1560.
Another possibility would be Erasmus's edition of Arnobius Afer's com-

Latin. Appraised at 2d in 1566.
73.149 Apolo. angli.

73.150 hutten
Ulrich von Hutten. Unidentified. Place unknown: stationer unknown,
date indeterminable.
STC/ non-STC status unknown. For several possibilities see Adams
H1216-41 and STC 14024-27.5, but however often his De morbo gallico was
published, on the Continent and in England, that work would seem out of
place in this collection . Language(s): Latin (probable) English (perhaps).

73.156 Annota in Polit
Unidentified. [Aristotk-Politica: commentary]. Continent: date indetermina-
ble.
Because of the wording of its tide, Martin Borrhaus's, In Aristotelis
Politicorum libros octo annotationes (Basle, 1545) is a strong possibility. Lan-

Probably not an STC book, but see STC 4335. Because the entries are so
often truncated, an author other than a "Caesar" is possible, including

both of whose writings would fit well in Cliffs collection. Language(s): Latin

John Bury. Scholar (probably B.A.):
Probate Inventory. 1567
ELLEN SUMMERS
According to the Brasenose College Register, the will of John Bury (Bery,
Berry, Burye, Byrry, Byrrye) was proved at Oxford in 1567 for probate. The
same source tentatively identifies this John Bury, deceased in 1567, with a
John Byrrye admitted to the college on 19 June 1555 and with ajohn Burye
of Berkshire, listed as a member in 1556/7 (Oxford Univ. 1909, 1:26). No
personal or biographical information is in the inventory itself, where the
owner is referred to only as "Syr Burye," the title indicating, according to
academical usage, a Bachelor of Arts. The owner of these books, residing
in Brasenose College at the time of his death was likely, therefore, a John
Bury, perhaps from Berkshire, who had been granted a degree of Bachelor
of Arts, but probably was not, after these years, formally pursuing further
studies.
The appraised value of his books at fifteen shillings comprised nearly
half the value of his estate (a flockbed, bolsters, a covering, a couple of
frocks, a brush and a candlestick) and seems to indicate that his treasure
was at least partly in his library. For the most part, the books are standard
fare for an Oxford student, including the classics and grammars, but the
presence of Doctor and student and a commentary on the Decretales suggests
an interest in the law.

Robert Jones. Sexton: Probate Inventory. 1567
ALAIN A. WIJFFELS
The inventory which lists the books of "Roberte Jones Qohne, Johns, Jonys],
one of the Sexteynes had in his Chambre," bears at its foot, in the hand of
that one of its appraisers who sporadically attached valuations to some of
its contents, the date 16 January 1556 (i.e., 1557). Jones's possession of
Rastell's confutation of Jewel (75.21), published in 1564, precludes
acceptance of this date. It is certain that the inventory is rather that of the
Robert Jones, "one of the sextons of christs churche" whose will was
proved in the Vice-Chancellor's Court on 17 January 1567: the overseer
named in the will was Master Smith, master of the choristers, and the
inventory makes mention of a "table with a payre of tressels in Master
Smithes Chambre." More conclusively still, the record of probate notes the
value of the goods inventoried as six pounds seventeen shillings and a
penny, and this is, indeed, the sum somehow determined and noted at the
foot of the inventory.
Four possible Robert Joneses are found in BRU02 and Alumni
Oxonienses among the graduates of the University. The first, who was
admitted B.C.L. on 15 July 1520 and supplicated for the B.Cn.L. in October
1527, is recorded as a secular chaplain subsequendy holding the livings of
Lower Heyford, Oxfordshire, and of Eaton Bishop, Herefordshire (BRU02,
321; Alumni Oxonienses 2:828). Another secular chaplain of the same name
proceeded B.A. on 6 December 1541 and, perhaps, B.C.L. in the same year.
Next in time is a Robert Jones of Holywell, a student residing in the town
in July 1562, whose tutor was Philip Jonys of Oriel, and, finally, a Robert
Jones is recorded as a chaplain of Christ Church in and before 1564. This
last is almost certainly the man with whom we are here concerned, but
whether or not he is to be identified with any of those previously named is
not clear.
His modest library suggests a man with some grounding in the law; he
had an incomplete Corpus juris civilis (75.2-4) and a dictionary of the civil
124 PLRE 75
law (75.23), a fragment of canon law (75.5), two other texts of a more
humanist bent (75.6 and 75.15) and the Institutions of the laws of England
(75.16). Besides these he has the New Testament and liturgies essential to
a working cleric (75.8 and 75.11-12), one of the basic texts of humanist
theology (75.9), one recent work of Catholic polemic (75.21) and, finally, a
number of elementary texts such as might have been serviceable to a friend
(and assistant?) of the Master of the Choristers, including Elyot's dictionary
(75.1), rhetorical texts of Erasmus (75.17-18), and works by Cicero (75.10
and 75.14), Ovid (75.13) and Terence (75.22). It may be that Cato's Disticha
(75.19:1) and Erasmus's Enchiridion militis Christiani (75.19:2), among
several items struck out, were books belonging to the choir-school.

Richard Ludby. Cleric: Probate Inventory. 1567
DALE B. BILLINGSLEY
Richard Ludby (Ludbye) is not recorded as a graduate of the university. His
priesdy status tells us litde of his academic standing; it is possible that he
had only recently entered the university, a possibility enhanced by the large
proportion of elementary arts texts among his books.
Gloucester College was, during the early Reformation years, subject to
constant fluctuations of fortune. Originally a hall belonging to the
Benedictine Abbey of St. Peter, Gloucester, and housing monastic students
at the University, the property (which lay outside the walls of the city)
passed to lay landholders at the Dissolution, and then back and forth
between them and the Bishop of Oxford until it passed into the possession
of St. John's College in the 1570s. A 1559 survey of the property mentions
"six litde lodgings . . . wherein doth lie two ould priestes that be penconers
[i.e., pensioners]" (transcribed in Stevenson and Salter [1939], 433), one of
whom might have been Ludby; he is not named as a member of the College
in a 1560 affidavit (Stevenson and Salter 1939, 435-36). No other even
inferential record of his Oxford life can be discovered.
The modest library he collected is heavily weighted toward Latin rhetoric
and poetics; two works on natural history, two Bibles, and a keyboard-music
book complete the collection.

76.1 Tullis rethorique
Marcus Tullius Cicero. [Selected works-Rhetorica}. Continent: date indeter-

Perhaps collected works on rhetoric published together, or as a volume
in any of the many editions of the Opera available from 1498; it may
indicate a copy of the spurious Ad Herennium (as early as 1470 from
Venice) or the De inventione (as early as 1475 from Venice). Of these
possibilities, the Ad Herennium is the most likely (Adams CI 674-87); the
first English edition postdates Ludby (STC 5323.5). Langaage(s): Unknown.
Appraised at lOd in 1567.
76.2 Horatius cum commento
Quintus Horatius Flaccus. Probably [Worfo]. Continent: date indetermi-

The presence of a commentary makes an edition of the Works most
likely. See also 76.24. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 12d in 1567.

76.4 the historie of Styrpium
Leonard Fuchs. De historia stirpium. Continent: 1542-1555.
First published in Basle 1542, it appeared in at least seven Latin editions
before 1567. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 4d in 1567.
76.5 testamentum grece et latinum
[Bible-N.T.]. Continent: date indeterminable.
Given the specific identification of the two languages, possibly a copy of
one of the many printings of Erasmus's edition of 1516. Language(s): Greek
Latin. Appraised at 12d in 1567.
76.6 Apothegmata Erasmi
Desiderius Erasmus. Apophthegmata. Britain or Continent: date indetermi-

STC 10443 etseq. and non-STC. STC 10443, Udall's translation published

Condnental Latin editions. Language(s): Latin (probable) English (perhaps).
Appraised at 8d in 1567.
76.7 Tullis officis
Marcus Tullius Cicero. De officiis. Britain or Continent: date indetermina-
ble.
STC 5278 et seq. and non-STC. De officiis, arguably the most widely read
of Cicero's works, often appeared first in collections, but the appraisal here
indicates an edition of this work alone, which was available from 1465 on
the Continent and from 1534 in an English edition. Language(s): Latin
(probable) English (perhaps). Appraised at 2d in 1567.
76.8 Gualterus de ratione carminum
Rudolph Walther. De syllabarum et carminum libri duo. Continent: 1542-

This popular handbook to classical poetry, first published as early as
1501, was published under various titles. The form given in this item
132 plre 76
appears from Cologne in 1536, and is recorded in Adams T822 (Antwerp,
1546). Robert Estienne's less widely published dictionary, Dictionarium

may be intended. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 8d in 1567.
76.10 Tullis epistoles cum commento
Marcus Tullius Cicero. [Selected works-Epistolae]. Continent: date indeter-
minable.
Editions of the various collections, many with commentaries, were widely
available from Continental presses. An edition of the single Epistola ad
Quintum fratem is the first in English, STC 5306 (in English translation,
1561); the many later editions postdate Ludby. Language(s): Latin. Ap-

Aulus Persius Flaccus. [Wor&s]. Continent: date indeterminable.
This author was frequendy published with Juvenal, but here the entry

presses from at least 1480. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 2d in 1567.
Richard Ludby 133
76.16 an epitome of Tullis epistles
Marcus Tullius Cicero. [Selections-Epistolae]. Continent: date indetermina-

The title here effects a distinction between this item and 76.10, but the
principal sources do not identify as an epitome any work published in the
period. Adams C2000-2006 (1502-1566) are extracts and florilegia from
the letters; C1990-93 (1542-1543) are commentaries and annotations
separately published; one of these works may be intended by this entry.

Probably not an STC book, but see STC 21626-27. Collections and
individual works, one of the latter being suggested by this appraisal, were
published on the Continent from at least 1470. Latin editions printed in
England postdate Ludby, but Pynson prints an English Cataline zndjugurtha
in 1520 (STC 21626) and the latter with Latin facing-text in 1525 (STC
21627). Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 2d in 1567.

John Shoesmith. Profession unknown:
Probate Inventory. 1568
ELLEN SUMMERS
Although the library of John Shoesmith (Susmythe) inventoried after his
death in St. Mary's parish, Oxford, consisted almost entirely of religious
works, several with a particularly pious bent, he was likely not a cleric, nor
a student. His collection has not a single, standard academic book. Further,
no scholar's library at this date would be entirely in the vernacular as his
appears to be. He can be traced in none of the standard lists of University
students and fellows.
Shoesmith seems likely to have been a reasonably prosperous person; his
New Testament was appraised at 3 shillings and his Bible— perhaps an
edition of the Great Bible— was valued at over 13 shillings. His inclinations
were strongly Protestant: see the devotional works at 78.5 and 78.6 and the
cryptic entry (78.10) listing a "boke agaynst the usurped poore [power] of
the bishoppe of rorae" which, in its polemical anti-papal tone, is definitely
Protestant, if not clearly pious. On the basis of this book-list, John
Shoesmith seems to have been moderately prosperous, moderately devout,
and ardently Protestant.

Richard Allen. Scholar (B.A.):
Probate Inventory. 1569
GRADY A. SMITH
Two Richard Aliens (Alen, Allein, Alynne) graduated B.A. from Corpus
Christi College at about this time, one in 1548 and one in 1566; yet another
graduated from an unspecified college in 1561 {Alumni Oxonienses 1:17).
The earliest of these three men, Fellow of the College from 1546, was
confined to the Fleet with the then Master, on suspicion of popery in the
reign of Edward VI (Fowler 1893, 97). He is said to have been restored to
his Fellowship shordy afterwards, but his subsequent career is not recorded.
Of the B.A. of 1561 nothing whatever is known. The youngest of these
Richard Aliens entered Corpus Christi College 20 July 1561 from Lin-
colnshire, aged thirteen years, ten months, during the tenure of Gulielmus
Butcher (or Boucher or Bocher). He was granted the status of probationer
Fellow in 1566, the year of his graduation (Fowler 1893, 388; McConica,
704). Alumni Oxonienses gives 1567 as the year of his death; McConica (704-
5) gives 1569. (At first glance, a reading of the manuscript seems to favor
1567, but a reading of 1569 is supported by the appearance of other
open-topped 9s written elsewhere by the compiler, Henry Crosse.) Regrettably,
the appraisers in drawing up this inventory left an incomplete statement of the
status of the deceased: "bachiler of — ." If the deceased was indeed a
Bachelor of Arts only, then this last Richard Allen is the likeliest candidate; it
is unlikely that either of the other two would have lingered in the University
without at least proceeding M.A. although the B.A. of 1561 might have
been on the point of so proceeding. If, however, he was a Bachelor of
Theology, then the first Richard Allen must be taken into consideration. In
the absence of further biographical discoveries, the balance of probability
lies with the B.A. of 1566, especially if the date of the inventory is 1569
(which date is virtually confirmed by the appearance of at least two items in
the book-list with 1568 publication dates: 79.19 and 79.32).
The books listed constitute an unusually substantial collection for one
who had but lately determined; the subject matter also seems to denote a
Richard Allen 141
student of theology rather than of arts, although with a scattering of
classical histories and literary works, arts textbooks are by no means absent.
At first glance, the emphasis on Protestant polemic would seem to fit ill
with a quondam recusant (the 1548 B.A.), but it is important to recall the
frequent use made, especially of those under threat of persecution, of the
works of their adversaries where they could read, legitimately, the opinions
of those with whom they secretly agreed. The library shows not only that
Allen was familiar with Greek, but that he had begun cultivating an
acquaintance with Hebrew. See McConica (704-5) for his comments on
Allen's library.

provides evidence that other Latin entries in this list might be English

Agathias. Unidentified. Continent: date indeterminable.
The only work by Agathias that was issued in both Latin and Greek is De
imperio et rebus gestis Justiniani imperatoris, first printed in 1594, well after
Allen's death. Agathias 's De bello Gotthorum is found only in Latin (1516 and
1519). Conceivably the compiler was identifying that work by reading from
the running tide of the 1531 edition of Procopius, of Caesarea's De rebus
Gothorum, Persarum ac Vandalorum, which carried other works (besides the
Agathias), some in Greek and others in Latin. Language(s): Greek Latin.

John Poynet, Bishop. Probably A defence for manage ofpriestes, by Scripture
and aunciente wryters. London: R. Wolff, 1549.
Probably STC 20176. This is taken to be the work that carries both
Poynet's name and the above title. Other possibilities include: A Defence of
priestes manages, stablysshed by the imperial lawes of the realme of Englande
(1567?) (STC 17518); and An Apologie fully answering ... a blasphemose booke
. . . against the godly mariadge of priests (1555) (STC 20175 et seq.). See com-

79.97 petrus martir de eucharistia
Pietro Martire Vermigli (Peter Martyr). Unidentified. Place unknown:
stationer unknown, date indeterminable.
STC/non^STC status unknown. It is impossible to fix the precise title
because of the number of separate works by Vermigli on the eucharist (a
Tractatio, a Defensio, and a Disputatio or two), and the proliferation of
variants, both British and Continental, before Allen's death. See STC 24673
for a Latin treatise; see STC 24665 for one in English. Language(s): Latin.

John Conner, Cleric, Scholar (B.Th.):
Probate Inventory, 1569
j. s. CRAIG
John Conner (Canner, Cunnar, Cunner) was chaplain and fellow of Exeter
College, Oxford from 1523 until 1549. A chorister of Magdalen College,
Oxford in 1501, he was admitted to the degree of Bachelor in Arts in
October 1510, proceeded M.A. in 1513, and successfully supplicated for the
degree of Bachelor in Theology in October 1524. While a fellow of Exeter
College, he held the living of Little Wittenham, Berkshire, from 1531 until
at least 1553, and from October 1558 until his death in March 1569, served
as vicar of St. Peter's in the East, Oxford (BRU02, 133).
An inventory of Conner's possessions, which included a list of forty-five
book titles, was taken on 3 December 1569. The predominance of theologi-
cal works is not surprising. His small library possessed a distinctively conser-
vative flavor with works by Fisher, Pepin, and Aquinas and a relative
absence of reformed texts. It is interesting to note the number of collec-
tions of sermons which were presumably used as the basis for his own col-
legial or parochial duties.

George and Simon Digby. Scholars (students):
Inventory. 1569
JULIETTE M. CUNICO
All that can be discovered about George and Simon Digby, probably
brothers, is in the inventory of their "goodes and bokes" compiled on 4
November 1569, where they are described as "late scollars in Glocester
haule in Oxforde." The inventory was taken at the commandment of
Thomas Cooper, Vice-Chancellor of the University (BRU02, 135-36), prob-
ably against debts left unpaid on their leaving Oxford. Their departure can
only be speculated upon, but Gloucester Hall was "greatly suspected" of
recusancy during this period (Loach 1986, 381) and conceivably the Digbys
left, apparently abruptly, as recusants seeking surroundings more congenial
than Oxford.
What they left behind of their collection, however, does not suggest any
such Roman Catholic inclination. Rhetoric, history, philosophy, literature
and law comprise the majority of the volumes. Standard student texts are
also well represented. Jacopo di Porcia's De re milUari in its English transla-
tion {The preceptes ofwarre) makes an unusual appearance (81.46). Of the
forty-six titles in their collection, most are in Latin, with several in Greek
and a few in English. The books are not appraised.

William Napper. Scholar (B.A.):
Probate Inventory. 1569
DAVID C. MCPHERSON
William Napper was born in Hampshire about 1544 (McConica, 705). At
Brasenose he matriculated about 1562, received his B.A., 1565, and
supplicated for his MA., 1568 {Alumni Oxonienses, 3:1052). Admitted to
Corpus Christi as a probationer fellow, 1568/69 (McConica, 705), he died
there after a few months. The probate inventory from which the list of
books below is taken is dated 1 June 1569.
McConica compares Napper's library with that of one Richard Allen (see
PLRE 79), also a recent Bachelor of Arts, concluding that Napper's has an
"altogether more humanisdc, less theological cast" (705). Nevertheless,
Napper owned a considerable number of theological works himself, a
group of books accounting for about a fourth of his collection.

Desiderius Erasmus. Adagia. Continent (probable): date indeterminable.
Probably not an STC book, but see STC 10438 et seq. STC 10438 has
both Latin and English, but since the manuscript entry suggests a Latin
edition, the book was probably printed on the Continent. Language(s):
Latin. Appraised at 2s 6d in 1569.

82.6 Calepinus
Ambrogio Calepino. Dictionarium. Continent: 1502-1569.
By this date, several editions included vernacular languages. Napper
owned another copy of Calepino, perhaps with a somewhat different set of
languages included; see 82.117 below. Language(s): Greek Latin. Appraised
at 20d in 1569.

Language(s): Latin (probable) Greek (perhaps). Appraised at lOd in 1569.
82.12 Officia Ciceronis
Marcus Tullius Cicero. De qfficiis. Continent: date indeterminable.
Since Napper owned a Latin-English edition (see 82.67 below), surely this
entry refers to a Latin only edition printed on the Continent. See also 82.50
below, which is yet another copy of De officiis. Conceivably Selected Works
with De qfficiis leading. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 6d in 1569.

haps). Appraised at 3s in 1569.
82.17 de ratione studti
Probably Desiderius Erasmus. De ratione studii. Continent: date indeter-
minable.
Often published with other works. Several educational works printed
prior to 1569 bear this tide, but since Napper owned three other works by
Erasmus, it seems probable Erasmus's is the one meant. Another good
candidate, however, is the collection of writings on this subject by various
authors which was published at Basle, 1541. Conceivably Andreas Gerardus,
Hyperius. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 14d in 1569.

Nicolaus Gruchius. [Aristotle-Ethica: commentary], Paris: 1558-1566.
Perhaps an edition of the Nichomachean Ethics, the Eudemian Ethics, or
both: translated by Joachim Perion and edited by Nicolaus Gruchius. See
82.88 for a work possibly by Gruchius. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 12d
in 1569.
82.44 Aristotelis organum
Aristotle. Organon. Continent: date indeterminable.
Language(s): Latin (probable) Greek (perhaps). Appraised at 8d in 1569.
82.45 The governance of vertu
Thomas Becon. The governans ofvertue. Britain: 1538-1566.
STC 1724.5 et seq. Of the seven editions available to Napper, five were

in 1569.
82.46 Agrippa de vanitate scientiarum
Henricus Cornelius Agrippa. De incertitudine et vanitate scientiarum. Conti-
nent: date indeterminable.
An English translation (STC 204) was published in 1569, the same year
as the probate inventory. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 6d in 1569.
82.47 Epistole, Dalmada
Emanuel Dalmada, Bishop of Angra. Epistola adversus epistolam Gualteri
Haddoni contra Heironymi Osorii Lusitani, episcopi Sylvensis epistolam. Antwerp:

William Napper 181
Answers an epistle by Walter Haddon published in Paris in 1563, later
(1565) translated into English as STC 12598. Language(s): Latin. Appraised

Henricus Cornelius Agrippa. De nobilitate et praecellentia foeminei sexus
[and others]. Continent: 1529-1567.
An English translation (STC 201) was published in 1540. Language(s):
Latin. Appraised at 8d in 1569.
82.50 officia Ciceronis
Marcus Tullius Cicero. De officiis. Continent: date indeterminable.
Since Napper owned a Latin-English edition (see 82.67 below), surely this
entry refers to a Latin edition printed on the Continent. He owned yet
another copy of De officiis (see 82.12 above); that copy or this may very well be
an edition of Selected works with De officiis leading. The multiple copies may
also indicate teaching texts. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 4d in 1569.
82.51 the bishoppe of Winchester
Perhaps A copie of a letter sente unto Stephen [Gardiner] bysshoppe of Winches-
ter. (England-Privy Council). London: In aed. J. Cawodi, 1554.
STC 7753.8. This work orders public thanksgiving for the (erroneously
diagnosed) pregnancy of Queen Mary. But this entry could also refer to any
of several works by Stephen Gardiner, Bishop of Winchester and Lord Chan-
cellor, or to works by other Bishops of Winchester. See, e.g., STC 13818.
Language(s): English. Appraised at 4d in 1569.
82.52 tomus primus rethorice ciceronis
Marcus Tullius Cicero. [Selected works-Rhetorica (part)]. Continent: date
indeterminable.
Collections of Cicero's works on rhetoric were common, but few were
issued in two volumes. Such editions were printed in Paris in 1527 and
1531, and in Lyon in 1546. See also 82.66. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at
lOd in 1569.
82.53 floris poetarum

Aesop. Fabulae. Continent: date indeterminable.
Language(s): Greek Latin. Appraised at 8d in 1569.
82.55 elucidarius poeticus
Probably Hermann Torrentinus. [Elucidarius carminum]. Continent: date
indeterminable.
This widely published and often issued encylopedic work is considered
more likely than either the work of Robert Estienne (Adams SI 81 5) or that
of Johann Gast, each of which carries the same tide; Gast's was designed to
be used as a school text. The two must, however, remain possibilities,
especially since Gast is represented elsewhere in Napper's library (82.15).
Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 4d in 1569.

82.59 de turcarum moribus
Bartholomaeus Georgievits. De Turcarum moribus epitome. Continent:
1552-1568.
Georgievits was a sixteenth-century Croatian author; he is not to be con-
fused with the fifteenth-century Hungarian author with a similar name who
also wrote on Turkish customs. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 4d in 1569.
82.60 Rudimenta Fidei
Jean Calvin. [Catechism]. Britain or Continent: date indeterminable.

82.67 Officia Tullii anglice et latine
Marcus Tullius Cicero. De officiis. Translated by Nicholas Grimald.
London: Richard Tottell, 1558-1568.
STC 5281.8 etseq. Napper owned two other (probably Latin only) editions
of De officiis; see 82.12 and 82.50 above. Language(s): English Latin. Ap-

82.71 Vergilius
Publius Virgilius Maro. Probably [Wor&s]. Continent: date indetermina-

STC 24787 and non-STC. Perhaps a work by Polydorus Vergilius. Lan-
guage^): Latin. Appraised at 6d in 1569.
82.72 Justinus
Trogus Pompeius and Justinus, the Historian. [Epitomae in Trogi Pompeii
historias]. Continent: date indeterminable.
Probably not an STC book, but see STC 24290. Goldyng's translation of
this work was published in 1564 (STC 24290), but the entry probably refers
to a Continental edition. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 4d in 1569.
82.73 Perionius in Livium
Joachim Perion. In omnes T. Livii condones annotationes. Basle: Robert
Winter, 1545.
Language(s): Latin. Appraised at lOd in 1569.
82.74 Melancthonus in Paulum
Philipp Melanchthon. [Epistles-Paul (unidentified): commentary]. Continent:

Perhaps the commentary on Romans and Corinthians, but it could be
any of his expositions on individual epistles of Paul (Ephesians, Colossians,
I Timothy, or Romans). Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 8d in 1569.
82.75 rivius de officio pastorali
Joannes Rivius. De officio pastorali ministrorum Ecclesiae in pagis. De vero

82.78 Progymnasmata Apthoni
Aphthonius, Sophista. Progymnasmata. Continent (probable): date indeter-

William Napper 185
Probably not an STC book, but see STC 699. The only edition in the
STC that could be in Napper's collection (STC 699, c.1520) is titled Prae-
exercitamenta, different from the entry. Napper owned another copy of
Aphthonius, though perhaps in a different edition; see 82.109 below. Lan-
guage(s): Greek Latin (probable). Appraised at 6d in 1569.
82.79 Similia Erasmi
Desiderius Erasmus. Parabolae sive similia. Continent: date indetermina-

82.82 Salustius
Caius Sallustius Crispus. Probably [Works], Britain or Condnent: date in-
determinable.
STC 21622.2 and non-STC. In 1569 Thomas Marsh published a Latin
edition of Sallust's Works, but this is so close to the date of the probate
inventory that in all likelihood the entry refers to a Continental edition.
Conceivably, the English translation of De bello Jugurthino (STC 21626,
c.1520) could be intended. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 2d in 1569.
82.83 Valerius Maximus
Valerius Maximus. Facta et dicta memorabilia. Continent: date indetermi-

Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 2d in 1569.
82.84 Consiliationes Locorum

Augustine's work less likely, but possible. Language(s): Latin. Appraised
at lOd in 1569.
82.85 Quintilianus
Marcus Fabius Quintilianus. Unidentified. Continent: date indeterminable.
Could be the Declamationes, Institutiones oratoriae, or the Works. Lan-

Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 14d in 1569.
82.87 Rodolphus Agricola
Rodolphus Agricola. Probably De inventione dialectica. Continent: date in-
determinable.
De inventione was Agricola's most frequently reprinted work, and its
subject (logic) is one in which Napper— judging from the other books in his
library— was very interested. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 4d in 1569.
82.88 Dyalectica g*r*cii
Unidentified. Place unknown: stationer unknown, date indeterminable.
STC/non-STC status unknown. The blotted word may be grucii for
Nicolaus Gruchius, author of Disputatio de nomine dialectices (Paris: 1552,
1558, and 1559). See 82.43 for a work definitely by Gruchius. Language(s):
Latin (probable). Appraised at 20d in 1569.
82.89 Philosophia Foxii
Sebastiano FoxMorzillo. Probably Ethices philosophise compendium. Conti-
nent: 1554-1561.
Possibly the author's De naturae philosophia (Louvain, 1554). But the rest
of Napper's library indicates more of an interest in ethics than it does in
science. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at lOd in 1569.
82.90 Okinus de cena Domini
Bernardino Ochino. Probably Syncerae et verae doctrinae de Coena Domini
defensio contra libros tres Joachim Westphali. Zurich: [Andreas Gesner], 1556.
Less likely, because of the de cena Domini entry, Ochino *s Liber de corporis
Christi praesentia in Coenae sacramentis. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 8d
in 1569.
82.91 Dyalectica
Unidentified. Place unknown: date indeterminable.

82.94 Erasmus de conscribendis epistolis
Desiderius Erasmus. De conscribendis epistolis, Britain or Continent: date
indeterminable.
STC 10496 and non-STC. The one edition published in England before
1569 was issued in 1521, making one of the many Continental editions
more likely here. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 4d in 1569.
82.95 Evangelistarium Maruli
Marko Marulic. Evangelistarium. Continent: date indeterminable.
Language(s): Latin. Appraised at lOd in 1569.

epic The Rape of Proserpine. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 6d in 1569.
82.98 Biblia antiqua
The Bible. Britain or Continent: date indeterminable.
STC 2055 and non-STC. Presumably this, like 82.20 above, is an edition
of the Vulgate. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 12d in 1569.
82.99 Emblemata Sambuci
Joannes Sambucus. Emblemata. Antwerp: Christopher Plantin, 1564-

82.103 Morie Encomium
Desiderius Erasmus. Moriae encomium. Continent (probable): date inde-

Probably not an STC book. Chaloner's translation (STC 10500-10501)
has both the English title The praise offolie and the Latin on its title page; it
could, therefore, be intended here. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 8d in

Xenophon. De re publica Lacedaemoniorum. Paris: apud Joannem Lodoi-
cum Tiletanum, 1539.

82.107 Colloquium Erasmi
Desiderius Erasmus. Colloquia. Britain or Continent: date indeterminable.
STC 10450.6 et seq. and non-STC. The STC editions in Latin were issued
in 1519 and 1520, well before the inventory date, making a Continental
edition more likely here. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 4d in 1569.
82.108 Gramatica Porcelli
Unidentified. Place unknown: stationer unknown, date indeterminable.
STC/non^STC status unknown. Perhaps a sloppily rendered "Perotti" for

Marcus Tullius Cicero. Quaestiones Tusculanae. Continent: date indetermi-

Jodocus CHchtoveus. [Homiliae]. Paris: (different houses), 1547-1556.
One Paris edition in 1547 and two in 1556, all octavo, are the only

Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 8d in 1569.
82. 1 14 Epithomi philosophic
Perhaps Aristotle. Unidentified. Continent: date indeterminable.
An epitome of Aristotle's scientific treatises was presumably made (and
certainly edited) both by Simon Brossie (Paris, 1536, etc.) and by Georgius
Lieblerus (Basle, 1561, etc.). Perhaps, however, this is another copy of
Melanchthon's Philosophiae moralis epitome (see 82.102). Language(s): Latin

82. 118 dixionarium Coperi
Thomas Cooper, Bishop. Thesaurus linguae Romanae et Britannicae.
London: in aed. quondam Bertheleti, per H. Wykes, 1565.
STC 5686. Cooper had also been the reviser of a number of the later
editions of Sir Thomas Elyot's dictionary, but the work issued in Cooper's
own name is clearly intended here. Language(s): English Latin. Appraised at

John Atkinson. Scholar (M.A.):
Probate Inventory. 1570
JULIETTE M. CUNIGO
John Atkinson's library seems rather small for a person of his standing. A
Fellow of Balliol, he received his B.A. on 6 July 1560 and the M.A. on 16
December 1564. He died in 1570, and the inventory prepared for probate,
from which the book-list below is taken, is dated 7 November of that year
{Alumni Oxoniensis 1:41).
There is some evidence that Atkinson was sympathetic to the papist
cause in that he was at pains to list at the back of the College Register in
1568 the names of those benefactors for whom, under the old order,
exequies would have been performed. But he then, apparendy for the sake
of his own security, scored through the list with the lightest of possible
strokes (Jones 1988, 75). Atkinson's collection demonstrates interests in
dramatic literature and in theology as well as in history— the study for which
his college is known. At the end of the inventory is listed "the kynges
armes," which is taken to be a scroll or heraldic roll and not a book, even
though it is listed with books.

Thomas Day. Cleric, Scholar (B.C.L.):
Probate Inventory. 1570
E.S. LEEDHAM-GREEN
Thomas Day (Daye, Dey) first appears in the Oxford records on his
admission as a Fellow of All Souls in 1518. He was admitted B.C.L. in July
1521 and remained at All Souls for a further twenty years serving as law
bursar (1526-28, 1533-35), law dean (1536) and subwarden (1540-41). At
this point his career accelerated in the ecclesiastical sphere. He had been
deaconed in 1532, but was not priested until 1542 in which year he was
appointed to a canonry and prebend of Oseney which he held until its
dissolution in May 1545. In November of the next year these offices were
transferred, with the see, to Christ Church where, in spite of his alleged af-
faire with the wife of Thomas Cooper, later Bishop successively of Lincoln
and Winchester (for whom see Athenae Oxoniensis 1:610), he held them until
his death. From 1548 he was also precentor of Chichester (where, by no
coincidence, his brother George had been bishop since 1543 [Athenae
Oxoniensis 2:242]) and prebendary of Oving as well as holding two other
livings in Sussex (BRU02, 165). Thomas Day has been tentatively identified
by Emden (BRU02, 165) with the "Mr Dee" or "Deyus" recorded by John
Foxe as having been one of those who conducted the interrogation of John
Philpot prior to his death at the stake in 1555.
If this is the Thomas Day with whose inventory we are here concerned,
the chief item of note in this comfortably successful career is its length. He
must have been between eighty and ninety at the time of his death. But
when, exactly did he die? His holograph will, proved in the Prerogative
Court of Canterbury (Public Record Office, Prob. 11/52; registered at PCC:
Lyon 15) is clearly dated "6 July 1569" and was proved before Walter Had-
don, as the will of Thomas Day "priest and prebend of Christ Church" on
2 May 1570. It requests burial in Christ Church cathedral to which he
leaves "18 bookes of doctors upon the cannon & civile law which bookes
stande first against the dore, in my littell studie above" (84.1-18?). He also
leaves ten pounds to All Souls and "my fyve bookes of the texte of the
Thomas Day 197
civile lawe, that is to saie the Codex, the three bookes of the digestes and
the autentikes [85:29-32?], that some yonge man there that laiketh may
have the use of them and to leave them to an other at his departeinge after
the discrition of warden." There are minor bequests to the poor in
Newport, Shropshire (perhaps his birthplace), in his various livings in
Sussex, and in Oxford.
The inventory tallies well, in that it supplies admirably the "18 bookes of
doctors upon the cannon 8c civile law" and, indeed, in its division between
the old legal texts, so relegated to the attic, and the later divinity texts. It is,
however, apparently dated "1 March 1567," that is, 1568, new style.
Effortless superiority is all very well and good, but it is not to be looked for
that even a canon of Christ Church should make his will when he had been
buried for over two years. Dr. Mark Curthoys has kindly assured me that
the records of Christ Church show but one canon of these names and
dates, and that he was clearly alive in December 1569, where he appears in
the annual list of the foundation in the Chapter Book. No list survives from
1570, and he is absent from those of 1571 onwards. The precentorship of
Chichester, vacant by his death, is recorded as having been filled on 9
March 1570 (Calendar of Patent Rolls. Elizabeth I (1569-1572) 1966, item 30,
p. 4). The most economical, and certainly the most plausible solution, is to
assume that the inventory date should in fact be read as "1 March 1569,"
that is, 1570, new style. Even this solution, however, leaves one problem
outstanding: according to BRU02 (165) and to the revised Fasti for Chi-
chester (le Neve 1971, 10), Thomas Day was buried in Christ Church on 22
February 1568. The immediate source for this statement appears to be
Browne Willis (1730, 451), who in turn probably took the date from
Wood's Fasti (Athenae Oxoniensis 5 [Fasti]:59), but his source I have been
unable to trace. There is no memorial to Day and no register of burials
preserved in the Christ Church muniments. The date originally entered at
the head of Day's inventory was 22 February, and it seems possible that
either Wood or his source took this date as the date of Day's burial and
that the year was derived also from a misreading of the ambiguous final
digit of the year as there entered.
The list of Day's books given in BRU02 (718-19) totals 137 items, not
thirteen as stated in the text (165).

In the absence of an appraised value, it is impossible to conjecture what
part or parts of the Corpus are here intended. Language(s): Latin.
84.31 Inforciatum Bernardini
Justinian I. Infortiatum. (Corpus juris civilis). Edited by Guido. Venice: per
Bernardinum [Stagninum] de Tridino, 1495 (1496?).

Not appraised. Language(s): Latin.
84.34 volumen quod intitulatur decretum
Gratianus, the Canonist. Decretum. (Corpus juris canonici). Continent: date
indeterminable.
The entry seems to indicate an unfamiliarity on the part of the appraiser
with legal texts, and it may have been this unfamiliarity which led him to
leave so many of the legal texts with no appraised value. Language(s): Latin.

Concilia omnia tarn generalis quam particularia. (Councils of the Church).
Edited by Petrus Crabbe. Cologne: (different houses), 1551-1567.
No edition earlier than these two (Adams C2770 and C2772) seems to
have run to more than two volumes. This is the first book to be listed in
this inventory which could not have been printed in or very near the incun-
able period. From this point appraised values are entered with more
regularity. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 3s 4d in 1570.
84.37 hieronymi opera in tribus volu minibus
Jerome, Saint. [Works]. Continent: date indeterminable.
Editions of Jerome's Opera were commonly issued in nine volumes, but
are not infrequendy found bound in three. Language(s): Latin. Appraised at
25s in 1570.
84.38 originis duobus voluminibus
Origen. Probably [VTorfa]. Continent: date indeterminable.
It was mostly the later editions which were issued in two volumes, but
this could have been one of the earlier, four volume, editions bound as two.
Language(s): Latin. Appraised at 10s in 1570.
84.39 Chrysostomi in tjuatuor voluminibus

Ignatius, Saint, Bishop ofAntioch. Probably [Epistolae]. Continent: date in-
determinable.
The editio princeps of Jacobus Faber, Stapulensis of 1498 was followed by
numerous others, some in the original Greek, some in Latin and some with
parallel texts. Various editions contain letters by others, including Polycarp
and Martial. Bound with 84.43:2. Language(s): Latin (probable) Greek (per-
haps). Appraised with one other at 4s in 1570.
84.43:2 [See 84.43:1]

praised with one other at 4s in 1570.
84.44 Biblia cum annotationibus hebraicis
The Bible. Continent: date indeterminable.
Sanctes Pagninus's translation of the whole Bible with Hebrew annotations
is perhaps the likeliest candidate here, but the entry may rather represent an
edition of the Old Testament only, either by Sebastian Muenster or Leo Juda.
Language(s): Hebrew Latin. Appraised at 16s in 1570.

Probably the commentaries on the Gospels in the first volume, and those

84.48 Index super quinque Tomus [Tomos] operum Chrysostomi
John, Chrysostom, Saint. [Works (index only)]. Continent: date indetermi-
nable.
There were various five-volume editions of Chrysostom's Opera between
1522 and 1558 which included a separate index, usually bound with the
first or the last volume but here, apparently, free-standing. Language(s):
Latin. Appraised at 20d in 1570.
84.49 Tomus tertius Bedae in Epistolas Pauli
Beda, the Venerable. Tomus tertius in Epistolas divi Pauli Apostoli. Paris:

84.50: 1 Erasmi annotationes in novum Testamen. 3bus voluminibus
Desiderius Erasmus. [New Testament: commentary]. Continent: date inde-
terminable.
The entry poses various problems: no three-volume edition of Erasmus's
In Novum Testamentum annotationes is recorded; nor yet is a three-volume
edition of his New Testament. If, on the other hand, three volumes of the
Paraphrases are here intended, their price seems high compared with
84.53:1-4 below. See also 84.52 and 84.59-60. Language(s): Greek Hebrew
Latin. Appraised with two others at 10s in 1570.

tolis 4or voluminibus
Desiderius Erasmus. [Matthew: paraphrase]. (Bible-N.T). Continent: 1520-
1557.
In this context, perhaps a set (the first appearing in 1524), lacking St.
Mark and Acts rather than individual volumes. (The Paraphrases on various-
ly selected Epistles were usually issued separately.) See also 84.50:1-3,
84.53:2-4, and 84.59-60. Language(s): Latin. Appraised with three others at

at 5s in 1570.
84.54 Adagia Erasmus
Desiderius Erasmus. Adagia. Continent (probable): date indeterminable.
Probably not an STC book. It is impossible to tell how copious a collec-
tion of the Adagia is here indicated: the price seems high for an Epitome but
210 PLRE 84
low for, say, the Chiliades. Selections from the Adagia in English were
published from 1539, but it seems likely that the compiler would have
indicated as much were one of these intended here. Language(s): Latin
(probable). Appraised at 20d in 1570.
84.55 Novum Testamentum per eundem translatum
[Bible-N.T.]. Translated by Desiderius Erasmus. Continent: 1516-1570.

84.56 Enchiridion militis Christian!
Desiderius Erasmus. Enchiridion militis Christiani. Continent (probable):
1504-1563.
Probably not an STC book. Editions in English were frequent after 1533,
but the context favors a Latin version. See also 84.57. Language(s): Latin
(probable). Appraised at 14d in 1570.
84.57 Alteram enchiridion
Desiderius Erasmus. Enchiridion militis Christiani. Continent: 1504-1563.

Fridericus Nausea, Bishop. Probably Evangelicae veritatis homiliarum

Latin. Appraised at 2s 8d in 1570.
84.70 Ludolfus in psalterium
Ludolphus, de Saxonia. [Psalms: commentary and text], (Bible-O. T.). Conti-

84.71 psalterium 4 or translationibus
[Bible-O.T.-Psalms]. Continent: date indeterminable.
Perhaps Liber Psalmorum cum translationibus quatuor et paraphrasibus

course, other possibilities. Language(s): Latin Greek (perhaps) Hebrew
(perhaps). Appraised at 16d in 1570.
84.72 Novum Testamentum

common prayers and usinge the holy sacramentes, and partly for the apparrell of all
persons ecclesiastically (Church of England-Advertisements). London: Reyner
Wolfe, 1565-1569?
STC 10026 et seq. The Advertisements dealt with the question of clerical
apparel (thus sparking off the vestiarian controversy) as well as with the

Unidentified. Places unknown: dates indeterminable.
Probably manuscripts. Emden (BRU02, 718) reads this as "Duo (libri)
cartatii" and takes "cartatii" as a rendering of "chartacei," the "two paper
books." This seems a likelier interpretation than "two copies of a book by"
Cartari, Cartarius, or some other similarly disguised author. The items are
not appraised. Language(s): Unknown.

John DunneL Scholar (student):
Probate Inventory. 1570
JOCELYN SHEPPARD
John Dunnet (Dannet, Donat, Dunnat), a student at University College,
Oxford, died in 1570. The name Dunnet and its many variations can be
traced to the northeast coast of Scodand where Dunnet Hill, Dunnet Head,
and Dunnet are located. Scottish church records reveal that in the late
1570s and early 1580s a John Donat served as rector of the church at
nearby Canisbay (Innes 1855, 2:789). This possible family connection, the
number of religious texts owned by Dunnet, and the fact that University
College was known primarily for its theological instruction, suggest that
Dunnet may have intended to take orders. McConica (707, n. 7) includes
Dunnet in a list of young men whose inventories, taken together, tell
something about what works were commonly used as textbooks by Oxford
students.

Lisle (given name unknown) was a scholar of Oriel College, Oxford when
an inventory was taken of his goods in 1570, the purpose of which remains

as was left in the handes of Gawynge Stangar by the commandement of Mr
Doctor Cooper, commissarie" (Thomas Cooper, BRU02, 135-36).
His small collection of books was typical of a student, including works of

PLRE Cumulative Catalogue
In the following lists, entry refers to a single entry made by a compiler of a
manuscript book-list; record refers to a single record created from an entry
by an editor. An entry may contain more than one record; conversely, a record
may constitute only part of an entry. A record always represents at least one
book but may represent more, including a volume set.
I. PLRE Database Totals
Book-lists: 116; Entries: 4,496; Records: 4,782
Number of Books Represented: More than 5,155
(Fifty-eight records of the 4,782 records specify two or more unidentified
books for a determinable total of 431 books, adding a net 373 books to
the record total. In addition, thirty-seven records contain an indetermi-
nable number of books, identified in the database as multiple. Also, one
book may possibly be traced to two owners of collections included in the
PLRE database [see PLRE 52.14:1-2 and PLRE 57.3], and another may
have been listed twice in one owner's list, once when purchased and later
in his probate inventory [PLRE Ad5.5 and PLRE Ad5.21].)

Stationers
(Publishers, Printers, Booksellers)
The stationers' names in the annotated book-lists are drawn either from imprints
and colophons, which offer the names in a variety of forms, or from bibliographi-
cal sources, none of which consistently agrees with another on those forms. For
indexing purposes and for searching the database, PLRE has, therefore,
constructed a uniform stationers' names list. English stationers' names, with a few
exceptions, are derived from the STC, Volume 3; the forms of Continental names
derive from a number of sources, including the STC, but most especially Adams.
Accordingly, the names below do not always duplicate forms that appear in the
annotated book-lists.
