TANNER, THOMAS (1674-1735)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 399 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
TANNER, THOMAS (1674-1735) , English antiquary and pre-
late
 , was born at Market Lavington in Wiltshire on the 25th of January 1674, and was educated at Queen's College, Oxford, taking holy orders in 1694. Next year he became chaplain and then fellow of All Souls College, and a few years later private chaplain to John Moore (1646-1714), bishop of Norwich and afterwards of Ely, who appointed him chancellor of the diocese of Norwich. In 1706 he became
rector
  of
Thorpe
 , near Norwich, in 1713 a canon of Ely, in 1724 a canon of Christ Church, Oxford, and in 1732 bishop of St Asaph. He died in Oxford, where he had passed most of his life, on the 14th of December 1735
Tanner's
chief
 
work
  is his Notitia Monastica, a short account of all the religious houses in England and Wales. This was published at Oxford in 1695; it was reprinted with additions by the author's brother, John Tanner, in 1744; and was reprinted again with further additions by James Nasmith (1740-1808) in 1787. He also wrote Bibliotheca Britannico-Hibernica, a dictionary of all the authors who flourished in England, Scotland and Ireland before the opening of the 17th century, at which he laboured for
forty
  years. This was not published until 1748, thirteen years after the author's death. The bishop collected materials for a history of Wiltshire and worked for some time on a new edition of the works of John
Leland
 . His valuable collection of books and manuscripts is in the Bodleian library at Oxford.
Another writer of this name was THOMAS TANNER (1630-1682), the author of The Entrance of Mazzarini (Oxford, 1657-58). Educated at St Paul's School, London, and at Pembroke
Hall
 ,
Cambridge
 , he became a barrister and later a clergyman, being vicar of Colyton, Devon, and afterwards of Winchfield, Hants.
