Encyclopedia Britannica



PHAER (or PIAYET), THOMAS (151o?-156o)

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 342 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PHAER (or PIAYET), THOMAS (151o?-156o) ,
English
  translator of Virgil, was educated at
Oxford
  and at Lincoln's Inn. He published in 1535 Natura brevium, and in 1543 Newe Boke of Presidentes. He says on the title-page of his version of the Aeneid that he was " solicitor to the king and queen's majesties, attending their honourable
council
  in the marches of Wales." He settled at Kilgarran in
Pembrokeshire
 , and combined the study of
medicine
  with his legal practice. He wrote several medical works, and was admitted M.D. of
Oxford
  in 1559. He contributed to Sackville's Mirrour for Magistrates, "Howe Owen Glendower, being seduced by false prophecies, toke upon him to be Prince of Wales." In 1558 appeared The Seven First Bookes of the Eneidos of Virgil converted into
English
 
Meter
 . He had completed two more books in
April
  156o and had begun the tenth, but he died in the autumn of that year, leaving his task incomplete. The
translation
  was finished by
Thomas
  Twyne in 1584. Phaer's
translation
 , which was in rhymed fourteensyllabled lines, was greatly admired by his contemporaries, and he deserves credit as the first to attempt a complete version, the earlier renderings of Surrey and Gawain Douglas being fragmentary although of greater poetic value.
