2 On account of its remarks about acting, the treatise is mentioned briefly by Boas, Frederick Samuel, University Drama in the Tudor Age, (Oxford, 1914), pp. 244–245 Google Scholar; and by Chambers, Edmund Kerchever, The Elizabethan Stage, (Oxford, 1951)Google Scholar, IV, 245.

3 See D.N.B., s.v. Gentili, Alberico; van den Molen, Gezina Hermina, Alberico Gentili and the Development of International Law, His Life, Work, and Times (Amsterdam, 1937)Google Scholar; brief accounts of Gentili's life and works are also given in modern editions of two of his works: De lure Belli Libri Tres, trans. John C. Rolfe, introd. by Coleman Phillipson (London and Oxford, 1933), II, I2a-22a; De Legationibus Libri Tres, trans. Gordon J. Laing, introd. by Ernest Nys (New York, 1924), II, na-37a.

4 See D.N.B., s.v. Matthew, Tobie.

5 Gentili refers to the volume as made up from two commentaries ‘confectae in Vesperiis quas nominamus Comidorum’. Clark, Andrew, Register of the University of Oxford, (Oxford, 1887)Google Scholar, Vol. II, Part i, pp. 171 and 183, records similar graduation ceremony debates which deal with acdng: in the Vesperies for 1584 the question ‘vtrum ludi scenici in bene instituta civitate probandi sint?’ was debated; in the Comitia for 1593, ‘An histriones sint infames?’ Records of other topics have, however, perished and are thus not listed by Clark.

6 MS. D'Orville 612, p. 21 ir and v.

7 Gentili did not come to Oxford until 1583. In February 1591/2 the differences began between Dr. John Rainolds, the Puritan, and William Gager, the academic dramatist, on the propriety of academic acting (see E. K. Chambers, The Elizabethan Stage, rv, 245; and F. S. Boas, University Drama in the Tudor Age, pp. 227-248). Gentili later took up the argument against Rainolds and on 7 July 1593 he wrote to Rainolds enclosing a copy of this present treatise, stating that he had spoken in public about actors before Rainolds had entered into controversy with Gager, i.e., before February 1591 /2: ‘Audi, mi Rainolde: quaestionem de histrionibus publice ego tractavi antea quam tibi haec qusestio cum altero esset.’ Gentili's letter is printed in Rainolds, John, Th'Overthrow of Stagc-Playes, ([Middleburgh], 1599), p. 164 Google Scholar.

11 Book n of Parergorum ad Pandectas, Libro Duo, (Frankfurt, 1588).

1 Presumably a reference to Dr. Matthew's college, Christ Church, Oxford, founded by King Henry VIII.

2 Dr. Matthew had resigned the Deanery of Christ Church early in 1584, having been installed as Dean of Durham in August 1583.

3 The Earl of Leicester and Sir Francis Walsingham were among Gentili's patrons.

4 The first of the two commentaries in the volume, Ad. Tit. C. de Maleficis et Math, et ceter. similibus Commentarius, deals with fortune-telling, sorcery, astrology, witchcraft, and similar practices.

5 A puzzling clause: according to Clark (op. at., Introduction, n. 5, p. 82): Incepting consisted of taking part in certain disputations. These were divided into two parts: (1) disputations ‘in Vesperiis’, and (2) disputations ‘in Comitiis’; the Vesperies took place on a Saturday, the Comitia (known in English as ‘the Act’) on the Monday following the Vesperies. 1[Codex, x, 53, l. 3] In referring to the Corpus Iuris Civilis I use the edition of Paul Krueger and Theodor Mommsen, 3 vols. (Berlin, 1928). I cite in the normal modern way: Book—Roman numerals; title—Arabic numerals; and where necessary, law number— Arabic numerals preceded by the abbreviation l; paragraph number—Arabic numerals preceded by ‘para.’. Gentili usually cites the Corpus Iuris Civilis in the manner customary in the sixteenth century: by the abbreviated title, preceded where necessary by the number of the law and the first words of the paragraph.

46 I am indebted to Professor J. IJsewijn of Louvain for suggesting that the ‘iurisconsultus Lovaniensis’ to whom Gentili refers is Justus Lipsius.
