*** The work, a treatise on education of statesmen, immediately acquired popularity at court, and it was doubtless to the increase of reputation which it brought that Elyot's appointment as ambassador to the Court of Charles V. was due.

"Elyot's literary work illustrates the wide culture and erudition of Henry VIII.'s Court. That he should have written all his books in his native language gives him a high place among the pioneers of English prose literature."(Dict. Nat. Biography).

Black Letter. Title within woodcut border.

Small 4to, half calf. London, Thomas Berthelet, 1544. £19 19s "This was partly translated, according to Elyot, from a Greek Manuscript by Eucolpius, the Emperor Alexander Severus's secretary. This manuscript had been lent to Elyot by a gentleman of Naples named Pudericus or Poderico. To the translation Elyot added extracts from other Authors, both Latin and Greek, dealing with the duties of rulers. The subject resembles that of Guevara's Libro Aureo,' translated by Lord Berners in 1533. William Wotton endeavoured to convict Elyot of plagiarism from Guevara and other writers, and asserted that the statement that it had been translated from a Greek manuscript by Eucolpius was false. Dr. Humphrey Hody denied with equal vigour that Elyot could have had any direct acquaintance with Eucolpius's writings. A careful perusal of Elyot's preface and text acquits Elyot of Wotton's and Hody's charges. Elyot's preface contains a list of his previous works." (D.N.B.).
