HOLLAND, PHILEMON (1552-1637)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 587 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HOLLAND, PHILEMON (1552-1637) , English scholar, " the translator-general in his age," was born at
Chelmsford
  in Essex. He was the son of a clergyman, John Holland, who had been obliged to take
refuge
  in Germany and Denmark with Miles Coverdale during the Marian persecution. Having become a fellow of Trinity College,
Cambridge
 , and taken the degreel of M.A., he was incorporated at Oxford (July 11th, 1585). Having subsequently studied
medicine
 , about 1595 he settled as a
doctor
  in Coventry, but chiefly occupied himself with translations. In 1628 he was appointed headmaster of the free school, but, owing probably to advancing age, he held office for only eleven months. His latter days were oppressed by poverty, partly relieved by the generosity of the common council of Coventry, which in 1632 assigned him 3, 6s. 8d. for three years, " if he should live so long." He died on the 9th of February, 1636-2637. His fame is due solely to his translations, which included Livy, Pliny's Natural History, Plutarch's Morals, Suetonius,
Ammianus
Marcellinus
  and Xenophon's Cyropaedia. He published also an English version, with additions, of Camden's Britannia. His Latin translation of Brice Bauderon's Pharmacopaea and his Regimen sanitatis Salerni were published after his death by his son,
HENRY
  HOLLAND (1583-?165o), who became a London bookseller, and is known to bibliographers for his Bazilicwlogia; a Booke of Kings, beeing the true and liuely Effigies of all our English Kings from the Conquest (1618), and his Herwologia Anglica (162o).
