Beleg Tâl/Sandbox | Newes from the Dead
The "Citation" column refers to the text at the bottom of the poem in the work itself, identifying the author of the poem. I have compiled a glossary at the bottom of the page for all the cryptic abbreviations.

Authors are marked with pictographs as follows:

  • if I have found enough information about them to determine dates of birth and death.
  • if I have found information sufficient to identify them, but birth and/or death dates appear to be unknown.
  • if I have found little or no information beyond college attendance

Note that these are rough categories. For some, like Charles Forster, all I know about them is their birth/death dates. Others, like William Willis, I know everything about them except birth/death dates.

Notes

[edit]
  1. These poems are obscure enough that there are no disambig or versions pages for any of them.
  2. This is from the book's cover page, not a citation at the end of his text.
  3. Birkhead is the only person with the initials H. B. listed in Al. Oxon. as a member of All Souls College in 1651; his notability as a Latin poet confirms this identification.
  4. Likewise, Beeston is the only person with the initials H. B. listed in Al. Oxon. as a Fellow of New College in 1651.
  5. 5.0 5.1 5.2 Does not appear in Alumni Oxoniensis.
  6. 6.0 6.1 per [1]
