Opis

This is the first book-length study of the fascinating life of the clergyman and scholar of Welsh descent Meredith Hanmer (c.1545–1604). Drawing extensively on archival evidence, it contextualises his clerical activities and wide-ranging scholarship, and elucidates several aspects of his previously little understood career.
