Description: Antverpiae, Ex Officina Plantiniana, Apud Viduam, & Ioannem Moretum, 1593. Original overlapping vellum, (XXXII), 694, (26)pp.Thomas Stapleton: Sussex 1535 - Louvain 1598. On Elizabeth's accession he left England rather than conform to the new religion, going to Louvain and Paris to study theology. In 1563, back in England, he was ummoned by the Anglican bishop Barlow to repudiate the pope's authority but refused. He retired to Louvain and in 1568 he went to Douai where he helped founding the English College there. He soon became a professor. In 1584 he resigned the preferments to enter the Society of Jesus, but did not complete his novitiate. Philips II appointed him professor of Scripture at Louvain in 1590. His fame as a theologian had spread to Rome and Pope Clement VIII invited him twice to Rome in vain. He remained at Louvain untill his death in 1598. With manuscriptual provenance of 1593 (Fr ....?), the stamp of a former library at Leuven and two names of formers owners or users (Willem Gods? & Catelyn Wantels?) on the verso of the last free endpaper. Closing-ribbons partly gone; vellum binding with some traces of use (a small hole in the right downer corner); otherwise a good copy.
