| Preliminary Material Notes: | In the dedication Munday writes: "this rude and vnpullished peece of worke, not handled with art, because I want it, nor glozed with borrowed phrases, because I am loath to be indebted... This woorke of Palladine, with all his imperfections, I humblie commit to your honorable protection: knowing that in respect of your owne loue to Chiualrie, you will thinke well of him". Then in the letter to the reader, he writes: "If you happen to fynde any mislike in the translation, or that it is not so currant English as fyne eares hunt after: let this serue as a sufficient excuse for mee, that in translating, men are bound to their Writers words, and such roue at random, may set downe what they please". |
