MORYSON, FYNES (1566-163o)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 883 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MORYSON, FYNES (1566-163o) , English traveller and writer, was the son of a Lincolnshire
gentleman
 , Thomas Moryson, member of
parliament
  for
Grimsby
 .. After being educated at
Cambridge
 , where he gained a fellowship at Peterhouse, Fynes Moryson spent many years in travel on the continent of Europe, in Palestine, and in Asia
Minor
 . In 1600 he became secretary to Sir Charles Blount, lord-deputy of Ireland, in which country his brother, Sir Richard Moryson, held an important government appointment. In 1617 Moryson published an account of his travels and of his experiences in Ireland, where he witnessed O'Neill's rebellion, in a voluminous
work
  entitled An Itinerary. He died on the 12th of February 163o. The Itinerary was originally intended to consist of five parts; but only three were printed, a fourth being preserved in manuscript in the library of Corpus Christi College, Oxford (partially printed in 1903 in Charles Hughes's Shakespeare's Europe). Another part of the Itinerary was republished in 1735 with the title History of Ireland 1599-16o3, with a short Narrative of the State of the Kingdom from1169; and in 1890 Henry Morley included in the " Carisbrooke Library " a volume, Ireland under Elizabeth and James I., de-scribed by Spenser, Sir John
Davies
  and Fynes Moryson. The Itinerary is a
work
  of
great
  value to the historian as a truthful picture of the social conditions prevailing in Europe at the beginning of the 17th century.
