TitleLatin couplets by Jacobus Telones to Beale, in praise of his generosity
Datec 1583
Extent1 item
Administrative HistoryJacobus Telones of Zweibrücken, German student studying in England. (The name is the humanist translation of Jakob Zöllner)
DescriptionThirty-nine Latin couplets addressed to Beale, thanking him for past assistance (Tu modo semper ades mihi, vir clarissime, fautor) and asking him for money to enable Telones to return to Germany.
James D. George notes that the poem seems contemporary with Telones' letter MS 1009/2/40 of 27 April 1583 in which Telones, having completed his studies at Oxford, appeals for financial help to pay off his debts and return home; George suggests that this poem may have originally accompnied that letter.
