[189] Anthony Wood’s _Athenae Oxonienses_, p. 87. [190] Wood gives his name as entered in an old College Catalogue in 1320. He compiled his book between 1305 and 1317: Freind, vol. ii. p. 277; and Eloy, vol. ii. p. 287. See also Hutchison’s _Biographia Medica_, vol. i. p. 323; and Aitkin’s _Biographical Memoirs_, p. ix, etc. [191] Guy de Chauliac entitles Gaddesden’s book (probably with more truth) “una _fatua_ Rosa Anglica.” [192] _Rosa Anglica quatuor Libris distincta_ (Papiae, 1492), lib. ii. cap. vii. p. 55; or _Joannis Anglici Praxis Medica, Rosa Anglica dicta_ (Schopf’s edit. 1595), p. 1076, _sqq._ [193] _Rosa Anglica_, p. 1079. The editor, Schopf, appends to this passage a rubric, stating the above sound counsel as “Decretum Joannis Angli de Leprosis.” [194] Pitt places him about 1360: Eloy, vol. ii. p. 354; Freind, vol. ii. p. 293. [195] From the old translation of Glanville’s work, _De Proprietatibus Rerum_, by John Trevisa, Vicar of Barkley. See _Phil. Trans._ vol. xxxi. p. 59. [196] _Eccles. Dunelm. Hist._ l. liii. f. 56, a; vide _Monasticon Anglicanum_, tom, ii. p. 437, a. [197] Bernhard Gordon of Montpellier, whose description of the disease I have already quoted, has been sometimes alleged to be a native of Scotland, see Sprengel’s _Histoire_, ii. p. 447; but without any other evidence whatever than that derivable from his Scottish surname. [198] _The Testament of Cresseid_, compylit be M. Robert Henrysone, Sculemaister in Dunfermeling. Imprentit at Edinburgh, 1593. Reprinted by the Bannatyne Club, Edinburgh, 1824. The poem has been published, without the name of the author, in Godfray’s and most other later editions of Chaucer’s Works.
