Johannes Sleidanus 1506-66 was born in Schleidan Luxembourg and studied ancient languages and literatures at Liège and Cologne and law and jurisprudence at Paris and Orléans. At Lièges he encountered humanist scholars and developed an interest in Protestant ideas. He went to work for Cardinal du Bellay and was employed in the futile negotiations of the French court to make an alliance with the German Protestants against the Emperor Charles V. In 1542 he settled in Strassbourg. He was in the habit of copying all papers that had any bearing on the Reformation to which he had access and Martin Bucer who had seen his papers suggested that Philip of Hesse appoint him historian of the Reformation giving him a salary and access to all necessary documents. Thus began his great work the first volume of which appeared in 1545. That same year he traveled to England in a French embassy to Henry VIII and there he collected further materials for his work. He later went to Marburg to view the archives of Philip of Hesse. In 1551 he attended the Council of Trent. He finished his history in 1554 despite financial problems. He died in poverty the following year. Printed by Edw. Jones, for Abel Swall...and Henry Bonwicke.. unknown

STC 7490. Edmondes ca. 1568-1622 was an English government official likely in the employ of the Earl of Oxford Edward de Vere often mentioned as a possible author of Shakespeare plays. In 1600 he published a commentary on the first five books of Caesar's Commentaries dedicated to Sir Francis Vere Born about 1560 Francis was the second son of Geoffrey Vere of Crepping Hall Essex a younger son of John de Vere 15th Earl of Oxford. In this 1604 edition Edmondes augmented the previous edition with commentaries on books VI and VII and a short dissertation on the modern art of war. There is a further slight familial connection with Shakespeare. John Bernard 1604-1674 married firstly Elizabeth daughter of Sir Clement Edmondes; they had four sons who all predeceased him and four daughters. His second wife Elizabeth was the granddaughter and only surviving descendant of William Shakespeare. It is unlikely however that Shakespeare consulted Edmondes regarding the play Julius Caesar; the play was first performed in 1599 a year before Edmondes' commentary appeared. Good.

A response to Stillingfleet's 'notorious book on Idolatry among Catholics' Clancy the 1671 'Discourse concerning the idolatry practised in the Church of Rome' which was itself answered by Daniel Whitby and Stillingfleet himself. The 5pp. dedication to the queen is signed 'T. G.' for Thomas Godden pseudonym of Thomas Tylden or Tilden 1622-1688 Roman Catholic controversialist. The son of a tanner from Kent Tylden converted to Catholicism as a young man and by 1656 was president of the English College in Lisbon where he was created D.D. in 1660. In 1661 he was appointed chaplain and preceptor to Princess Catherine of Braganza: he accompanied her to England and was among the witnesses to her marriage to Charles II after which he remained a member of her household serving as chaplain and treasurer: 'it is said that he taught her to speak English' ODNB. According to Bishop John Russell Tylden 'spent his life at court as though in the cloister and "he was very dear to the Queen and not disliked by the King"' ODNB. His refutation of Stillingfleet in Catholicks No Idolaters was his 'most important work' ODNB.

It was first published anonymously in 1658 with an introduction by Henry Hammond 1605-1660.

To distinguish himself from his brother Pierre Corneille Thomas was known as “Monsieur Corneille.†He was one of the leading authors who began to produce plays during the Fronde and brought out even more plays than his brother Pierre: thirty-eight plays composed alone or in collaboration. His first tragedy Timocrate 1656 helped to restore the genre to popularity after the troubles of the Fronde. Although he was more attractive in manner and in conversation than Pierre he lacked Pierre's genius. Still "with Quinault he filled the interval in the history of the French drama between the zenith of Pierre Corneille and the advent of Racine" Harvey and Haseltine. <br/><br/>Although not as important a playwright as his brother Thomas wrote with great facility. He is credited with perfecting the French language as can be evidenced by this translation of Ovid begun shortly after he left school his notes to Claude Favre Vaugelas Remarques su la langue Francais 1647 his compilation of a dictionary of arts and sciences for the Academie Francaise 1694 and his editorship of Mercure galant with Donneau de Vise. <br/><br/>The artist of the two engravings fronting the books is the son of Hermann Weyen or Weyher Laurent Weyen 1643-1672 a Flemish engraver who died in Paris.

Later signature of Rebecca Ayre on title verso; a person seemingly untraceable it is notable at least this name suggests female ownership over some point in the life of the volume. <br/><br/>First published in 1600 in London by Peter Short dwelling on Bredstreet hill at the signe of the Starre two new editions of the Observations upon Caesars Commentaries appeared in 1604 one issued for Mathew Lownes and one for William Ponsonby and again three more editions appeared in 1609 two are linked to the printers office of Mathew Lownes ESTC S121465 as here and ESTC S91812 and the third ESTC S121472 indicates no publisher. All of the 1609 issues have variations in the titles and imprints as common. Mathew Lownes was a prominent bookseller in London at the Bishops-head in Pauls Church-yard from at least 1595 to 1625; Lowness activity is associated with several important publications on Roman imperial history between 1604 and 1623 which likely put him into the milieu of the author Sir Clement Edmondes d. 1622 who was by 1600 also an influential government official in the House of Commons and City of London. Edmondes wrote his observations on Caesars Commentaries the Gallic and Civil Wars to propagate the ways he believed ancient Roman military tactics might aid contemporary warfare. ODNB and larger scholarship notes that Edmondes carefully molded his remarks and included additional subjective material which was later seen as an attempt to influence the readers experience. This is an important publication thus for exemplifying the intent of some Roman histories written in the early Stuart years. It was popularly received in his time and Edmondes believed his efforts to draw out the true heroism of an ancient republic would help among other ideas the question of how to deal with an invasion of England.

Born of poor parents in Goerlitz Germany as a boy he tended cattle later becoming a shoemaker marrying & fathering 4 children. Boehme at the robust age of 37 in 1612 wrote his first treatise Aurora oder Die Morgenroete in Aufgang. In 1613 an unauthorized copy of the manuscript was copied and circulated by Karl von Ender. Its reception "raised him out of his homely sphere and made him the centre of a local circle of liberal thinkers considerably above him in station and culture." However the local pastor primarius of Gorlitz Gregorius Richter leveled a charge of heresy. The local muncipal council administered an admonishment to no further "meddle in such matters." This charge Boehme publicly followed for 5 years. In 1618 Boehme again started writing expository & polemical treatises. The majority of his works were written though not formally published from 1619 - 1624. A second major work Der Weg zu Christo was published in 1624 and signaled a renewal of clerical hostility. Boehem however was destined to suffer but a short period of this second persecution; he died of an illness on 17 November 1624. Boehme has been said to have a "fertility of ideas" and a "trasncendent greatness of religious insight." Boehme was studied by Sir Isaac Newton and influenced the work Henry More as well as and especially William Law 1686 - 1761. Xl Questions concerning the Soule was translated by the English mystic John Sparrow in collaboration with John Ellstone & financed by Humphrey Blunden. This the first of several works by Boehme that Sparrow & Ellstone were to translate into English between 1644 - 1662. Boehme proved to be highly popular in England where there were regular societies of Behmenists at the time. This work XL Questions went into a second edition in 1648 and a third edition in 1665. 11th EB. A scarce title in the Boehme canon.
