  Gavin Douglas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From this retreat Gavin Douglas was sent by the earl to the English court, to ask for aid against the French party and against the queen, who was reported to be the mistress of the regent.
In 1522 Douglas was stricken by the plague which raged in London, and died at the house of his friend Lord Dacre.
That Douglas undertook this work and that he makes a plea for more accurate scholarship in the translation have been the basis of a prevalent notion that he is a Humanist in spirit and the first exponent of Renaissance doctrine in Scottish literature.

 Gavin Douglas - LoveToKnow 1911
The marriage of this youth to James IV.'s widow on the 6th of August 1514 did much to identify the Douglases with the English party in Scotland, as against the French party led by Albany, and incidentally to determine the political career of his uncle Gavin.
The queen appealed to the pope and was seconded by her brother of England, with the result that the pope's sanction was obtained on the 18th of February 1515.
On the 17th of May 1517 the bishop of Dunkeld proceeded with Albany to France to conduct the negotiations which ended in the treaty of Rouen.

Gavin Douglas (c.1476-1522) was a younger son of Archibald Douglas, fifth Earl of Angus; membership of this powerful family clearly aided his early rise to high office in the church.
Douglas was educated at the University of St Andrews, graduating in 1494.
Douglas was fired by a double purpose: to transfer to his native tongue something of the "fouth", or linguistic richness, of Latin, and also to communicate an intimate knowledge of Virgil's great poem to his countrymen.

 Significant Scots - Gavin Douglas
DOUGLAS, GAVIN, one of the most eminent of our early poets, was the third and youngest son of Archibald, fifth earl of Angus, by Elizabeth Boyd, only daughter of Robert, lord Boyd, high chamberlain of Scotland.
Gavin Douglas, the son of such a father, was born about the year 1474, and was brought up for the church.

By 1940, a population of 500 to 700 animals along the lower Columbia River in Oregon and Washington, and a disjunct population of 200 to 300 in Douglas County, Oregon, survived (Crews 1939; Gavin 1984; Verts and Carraway 1998).
The State of Oregon (ODFW 1995) subsequently considered white-tailed deer in Douglas County to be fl-tailed deer or a hybrid between the fl-tailed deer and the Columbian white- tailed deer; the refuge was dissolved in 1952, and regulated hunting resumed (Gavin 1984).
Douglas County's zoning and planning ordinances and county park designations are recognized in the Recovery Plan as valid methods to secure habitat, and will provide continuing regulatory protection of Columbian white-tailed deer habitat unless changed through a public process.

 The Palis of Honoure: Introduction
Gavin Douglas's life seems to divide neatly into two parts, the events of his youth having passed largely unrecorded, while those of his later maturity are documented in some detail.
Douglas was uncle of the sixth Earl of Angus, who, eleven months after the death of King James IV at Flodden, married the widowed Queen, Margaret, sister of Henry VIII of England.
Douglas also inserts ``lays'' and ``ballats'' into the poem; two of these are in a ten-line stanza (aabaabbabb5; 607-36; 1015-44; the two which conclude the work return to the rhyme-scheme of the nine-line stanza in Parts One and Two, but complicate it by the addition of rhyme within and across lines.

The white-tailed deer in Douglas County was subsequently considered to be a fl-tailed deer or a hybrid between the fl-tailed deer and the Columbian white-tailed deer by the State of Oregon (ODFW 1995); the refuge was dissolved in 1952, and regulated hunting resumed (Gavin 1984).
Because the Douglas County and Columbia River populations of the Columbian white-tailed deer are discrete and significant, they warrant recognition as Distinct Vertebrate Population Segments under the Act.
Gavin (1988) conducted laboratory analyses of muscle samples from Columbian white-tailed deer and Columbian fl-tailed deer in Douglas County and found no evidence of hybridization between the two subspecies.

A critic of high consideration has recently said that “no poet, not even Dante himself, ever drank more deeply of the spirit of Virgil than Gavin Douglas.” Others who consent to this have laid stress on the fact that Douglas was the first translator of a great verse classic into the vernacular.
If this conclusion were as just as it is, at first sight, plausible, Douglas could have no place, or only a very minor place in this chapter, which assumes a fundamental homogeneity in medieval method, in most respects incongruent with the literary intention of the new learning.
Like Dunbar, Douglas was of good family, and a cleric; but he had influence and fortune which brought him a large measure of worldly success.

The other eclogues deal with the sorrows of earthly love, leading up to a dialogue between Corydon and Cornix, in which the heavenly love is extolled.
The volume includes epitaphs on Nicholas Grimald, John Bale and on Thomas Phaer, whose translation of Virgil Googe is uncritical enough to prefer to the versions of Surrey and of Gavin Douglas.
A much more charming pastoral than any of those contained in this volume, "Phyllida was a fayer maid" (Tottel's Miscellany) has been ascribed to Barnabe Googe.

 Accepted Papers, abstract Swanson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Within the exegetical commentary he appends to the opening chapters of the Eneados, Gavin Douglas furnishes a brief summary of Christoforo Landino's allegoresis of the Aeneid, which occupies the third and fourth books of the Quaestiones Camaldulensis.
Douglas's commentary reveals his awareness of a mode of response to the classical epic which he is perhaps too readily believed only momentarily to have pursued within his broader project of translation.
It will be argued here, however, that Douglas's familiarity with Landino's allegories is fundamental to the intertextual design of the Eneados.
