Criticism of Travel |
Notes | English translation of an Oration by Hermann Kirchner and pronounced at Marberg by his student Henry de Stangi (or Henrich von Stange as Stagl spells it). Occurs at sigs. Cc8r-Ee3r of 'Coryats Crudities'. The Latin original is described elsewhere in this database under the title 'De Germaniae Perlustratione Omnibus Aliis Peregrinationibus anteferenda'. 'Coryats Crudities' (1611) appeared in only one edition. In 1611 a pirated version of its prefatory verses titled 'The Odcombian Banquet' appeared with a scurrilous preface attacking Coryat. ODNB states John Taylor may have been responsible. |
