William Bavand
Edit ProfileCareer
Bavand, having been educated at Oxford, became a student in the Middle Temple, and published in 1559 ‘A work touching the good ordering of a Common Weale in 9 Books,’ a translation from Ferrarius Montanus. The book is dedicated to Queen Elizabeth. Scattered up and down the work are several verse-translations of passages from classical poets.
Jasper Heywood, in his translation of Seneca"s ‘Thyestes’ (1560), mentions Bavand in these words:—
There Bavande bides that turned his toil A common wealth to frame, And greater grace in English gives To worthy authors name.
