ROLLAND, JOHN (fl. 1560)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 466 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROLLAND, JOHN (fl. 1560) , Scottish poet, appears to have been a priest of the diocese of Glasgow, and to have been known in
Dalkeith
  in 1555. He is the author of two poems, the Court of
Venus
  and a translation of the Seven Sages. The former, which was printed by John Ros in i 575, may have been written before 156o. The latter was translated from a Scots
prose
  version at the suggestion of an aunt (" ane proper wenche "), who had found his treatment of the courtly
allegory
  involved and uninteresting.
The Court of
Venus
  was edited by Walter Gregor for the S.T.S. in 1884. See W. A. Craigie's long
list
  of corrections of that edition in the Modern Language Quarterly (March 1898). The Seven Sages was printed in 1578, and frequently during the earlier decades of the 17th century. It was reprinted by
David
  Laing for the Bannatyne Club (1837).
Sibbald
 , in his Chronicle of Scottish Poetry (iii. 287), hinted that
Rolland
  may be the author of the Thrie Priestis of Peblis. There is not a scrap of evidence in support of this; and there are many strong reasons against the ascription.
