Athenæ Oxonienses. Vol. 1. an exact history of all the writers and bishops who have had their education in the most ancient and famous University of Oxford, from the fifteenth year of King Henry the Seventh, Dom. 1500, to the end of the year 1690 representing the birth, fortune, preferment, and death of all those authors and prelates, the great accidents of their lives, and the fate and character of their writings : to which are added, the Fasti, or, Annals, of the said university, for the same time ...

An. Dom. 1533.

An. 25 Hen. 8.

Chanc. John Longland D. D. and Bishop of Lincoln, sometimes Fellow of Magd. Coll.

Commiss. in chief was Will. Treshan D. D.

  • Owen Oglethorp of Magd. Coll.
    • Apr. 3.

Grammarians.

• June…Gilb. Saywell
• Jan…. Jehn Best.
  • Schol. of Gram.

These two were admitted to inform in Grammar: Qu. Whe∣ther Jo. Best was not the same person who in 1560 was made Bish. of Carlile, for in these days, and after, several of the Bishops were originally Pedagogues.

Bach. of Arts.

Feb. 15. John Clerke—Quaere.

Sixty two in all were admitted this year, and but six that suppl.

Bach. of Civ. Law.

July 13. Joh. Wymesley or Wymsley of Broadgates Hall.—He was made Archdeacon of London by his Brother Dr. Bonner Bishop of that City, in the place of Dr. Rich. Gwent deceased, an. 1543, and was present in the Convocation of the Clergy 1 Mari. c, Dom. 1553, in which Convocation he did speak an Oration that was soon after made publick.

About nine besides him were admitted, and but three there were that supplicated for the said degree.

Bach. of Can. Law.

Nov. 27. Donatus Riane a public Reader of the Canon Law in New Inn.—A learned Irishb Author in his enumcration or Writers and learned men of Ireland, tells us there were two Bre∣thren of Oxford whose Sirnames were Riane, and that one of them was a good Civilian, and the other a Mathematician, but mentions nothing of their Writings. This Donatus therefore I take to be the Civilian, and Daniel mention'd under the year 1556, to be the Mathematician. See in the year 1514.

Besides him were six admitted, and eight at least that supplica∣ted for the said degree.

Mast. of Arts.

Mar…. John Shepreve or Shepery of C. C. Coll.

Apr…. Will. Pye of Oriel.—He was afterwards Dean of Chi∣chester.

Opponents in Divinity.

Mar. 31. Fath. Rob. Kynner alias Bate a Monk of the Order of S. Bernard. now of S. Bernards Coll.—He was the last Abbat of Smite in Warwickshire, of the Cistercian Order. In the year before he supplicated for the degree of Bach. of Div. tho he had not op∣posed; and whether he was admitted this, or in any other year following, it appears not in the Reg.

• Mar. 31. Fath.
• May. 29. Fath. Tho. Kyngeswood
  • Rich. Greene
  • Ralph Wobourne.
    • of S. Bernards Coll.

These three Fathers who were Monks of the Order of S. Bern. were not adm. Bach. of Div. which is the reason I put them here.
