Encyclopedia Britannica



MERBECK (or MARBECK), JOHN (d. c. 1585)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 148 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MERBECK (or MARBECK), JOHN (d. c. 1585) , English theological writer and musician; was organist of St George's, Windsor, about 1540. Four years later he was convicted of heresy and sentenced to the stake, but received a pardon owing to the intervention of Gardiner,
bishop
  of Winchester, though Gardiner had himself censured Merbeck for compiling an English Concordance of the Bible. This
work
 , the first of its kind in English, was published in 1550 with a dedication to
Edward
  VI. In the same year Merbeck published his annotated Book of Common
Prayer
 , intended to provide for musical uniformity in the use of the First
Prayer
  Book of
Edward
  VI., which was several times reprinted in the 19th century. Merbeck wrote several devotional and controversial works of a strongly Calvinistic character, and a number of his musical compositions are preserved in
manuscript
  in the British Museum, and at
Oxford
  and
Cambridge
 . He died, probably while still organist at Windsor, about 1585. His son, ROGER MERBECK (1536-16o5), a noted classical scholar, was appointed public orator in the university of
Oxford
  in 1564, and in 1565 became a canon of Christ Church and was elected provost of Oriel; he left Oxford on account of an unfortunate
marriage
 , and took to
medicine
  as a profession, becoming the first registrar of the College of Physicians in London, and
chief
  physician to Queen Elizabeth.
