AB - 952 Book Re vie ws about Leland’s methods and the progression of his research is clear: Leland’s work on De Uiris Illustribus was undertaken in two stages. Stage I commenced during the reign of Anne Boleyn (from 1533, with writing undertaken 1535–36), with Stage II (1543–September 1545) coming after a hiatus of six years, during which Leland undertook his investigations into the English landscape. All this leads, finally, to the De Uiris itself; 815 pages of parallel text, with the Latin on the verso, accompanied by the English translation directly opposite. (The earliest work on this translation was undertaken by Caroline Brett, as the Preface explains.) This edition is a veritable treasure-house of meticulously detailed information, and the layout enables the reader to navigate this complicated text with relative ease. It may be some time before we see the second volume to accompany this edition but, as with all vast undertakings in print, time and economics demand that we eager readers must be patient. Given the outstanding achievements revealed here, this reader is certain that the final instalment will be worth the wait.
