As a clergyman of the Church of England Spark was admitted to a prebend in the church of Rochester a few years before his untimely death: "He died on 7 Sept. 1692 at Bath whither he had gone to drink the waters" DNB. His contemporaries attributed his death to "his excesses and too much Agitation obtaining Spiritualities" Wood "Ath. Oxon.".<br /> <br /> The present work is a scholarly edition of the works of early Christian theologian Lactantius ca. 240-320 CE. Thomas Hearne contemporary of Spark's deemed it "a poor Performance the Text being very incorrect and the Notes from MSS. very mean he having taken no pains to collate them accurately." <br /> <br /> Overall a reassuring reminder that shoddy scholarship has been around for a long time and can endure for centuries after the scholar's demise. <br /> <br /> ESTC R014307; WING L-139; see also the DNB XVIII p. 719 and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
