Authority Cited: Fairfax
Author name and dates: Edward Fairfax (1568?-1635)
Portrait: Torquatto Tasso
BKG Bio-tweet: Well-off natural son; Tasso trans. in verse later praised by Dryden, Waller; treatise on demonology
Categories (list of works cited – preliminary) [BKG Note: about 136 Fairfax cites in 1755 Dict. vol. 1, about 134 Fairfax cites in 1755 Dict. vol. 2. Three Fairfax cites were identified as added in the 1773 Dict., indicated in bold italic below. All cites of Fairfax appear to be from the Godfrey of Bulloigne title. The edition SJ used is unknown (1600 first edition; there were three reprints in 1687, a Dublin printing in 1726 and a London 1749 printing with editorial changes). The majority of Fairfax cites list book and stanza number. This may indicate that the Fairfax text was one of the early texts marked by SJ and transcribed. The translation is from the 1581 Italian poem Gerusalemme liberata of Torquato Tasso (1544-1595).]
