	Polydore Vergil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Polydore was born at Urbino, is said to have been educated at Bologna, and was probably in the service of Guido Ubaldo, Duke of Urbino, before 1498, as in the dedication of his first work, Liber Proverbiorum (April 1498), he styles himself this prince's client.
		Polydore's Adagia (Venice, April 1498) was the first collection of Latin proverbs ever printed; it preceded Erasmus's by two years, and the slight misunderstanding that arose for the moment out of rival claims gave place to a sincere friendship.
		Polydore's duty is to state the problems and supply the historical illustrations; his friend's to explain, rationalize and depreciate as best he can.

	Richard III Society--Online Library
		One modern historian wrote that "England was a country to which occasional visiting Italian humanists came in search of patrons, although not always with success."[1] Polydore Vergil, that young man from Urbino, achieved his notoriety when Henry VII commissioned him in 1508 to write a history of the English people.
		Vergil used it in his history: Richard III symbolized everything that is evil and badand dishonest, while Henry Tudor symbolized everything that is good, forthright, and commendable.
		To believe Vergil's version of the story -- as it may have been related to him over seventeen years after the fact -- without considering the Tudor bias involved in the telling would be like trying to decipher the contours of a map with the wrong prescription lenses.

		Polydore Vergil's work deals with the question of who invented what when from a Renaissance perspective.
		This particular work was Polydore Vergil's most influential at the time, even if not particularly what he was remembered for today (A book of proverbs is what gets him attention these days, evidently).
		He's interesting for the range of classical sources he used, his commentaries on the subject, and the simple fact that yes, this was a successful book in his day.

	SHAKSPER 2005: Polydore Vergil's Anglica Historia Now Online
		The URL is http://www.philological.bham.ac.uk/polverg/ I am particularly pleased to see this online as Polydore (1470?-1555) is recognized as the pioneer in English humanistic history and was a principal source for both Hall's Chronicle (1548, 1550) and Holinshed's Chronicles (1577, 1587).
		Polydore was sent to England in 1502 to collect Peter's Pence, assumed a cultural role in Henry VII's court, was naturalized (1510),, became acquainted with More and other humanists, and by 1513 had drafted the first parts of _Anglica Historia_ (Vatican MS Codices Urbinates Latini 497/498).
		He also edited Gildas (1525) and wrote an influential account of invention and discovery (De Inventoribus Rerum, most recently translated by Brian Copenhaver as _On Discovery_, 2002.) The principal Latin edition of the English history, including the chapter on Henry VIII from 1509-37, was published in 1555.

		The historians whose work most influenced Shakespeare's play were Polydore Vergil, an Italian who lived in England under the patronage of King Henry VII, and the much better known Sir Thomas More, who, until he was beheaded for heresy by his sovereign, was Lord Chancellor of England under Henry VIII, son of VII.
		For a historian, the most telling argument the Richard III Society makes is that the peculiar loyalties of Polydore Vergil and Thomas More have to be considered when their own veracity is examined.
		He paid Polydore Vergil's salary, and Vergil, who as a native of the Italian Renaissance knew quite a bit about intrigues, regicides, and bloodletting, also knew on which side his bread was buttered.

		Polydore quotes also another passage from the same writer, by which he says it appears beyond doubt that the two Apostles were the "Authors of the Religion among the Romans." A few texts are further quoted on various points from "The Apostle," and that is all.
