- Richard_Knolles abstract "Richard Knolles (c. 1545 – July 1610) was an English historian, famous for his account of the Ottoman Empire, the first major description in the English language.A native of Northamptonshire, Knolles was born in the 1540s, probably at Cold Ashby. He was educated at Lincoln College, Oxford, where he graduated with a BA in January of 1565. Knolles then became a fellow at Lincoln College, and obtained his MA there in July of 1570. Some time after 1571, he left Oxford to become headmaster at a grammar school in Sandwich, Kent, which was founded by Sir Roger Manwood circa 1563.After Manwood’s death in 1592, his son, Sir Peter became Knolles’ professional and literary patron and encouraged Knolles to write. In 1603, Knolles published his Generall Historie of the Turkes, of which several editions subsequently appeared, among them Sir Paul Rycaut's edition (1700). Rycaut’s edition includes his account of his time in Constantinople as secretary to the English ambassador. While the topic of the Turks was very popular during the period in which Knolles wrote, with an estimated 1,000 works about the Turks published in Europe between 1501 and 1550, Knolles’ history was the first chronicle of the military and political aspects of the Ottoman Empire to be written in English. Previous histories had been available only in Latin and were thus not widely circulated. Knolles also published a composite translation of Jean Bodin's Les Six livres de la Républiquein 1606, incorporating text from the French and Latin versions, dedicated to Sir Peter Manwood. Knolles also worked on an unpublished translation of Camden’s Latin original, Britannia. Though unpublished, Knolles' third work survives in the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford.His work had considerable merits of style and of arrangement. Samuel Johnson praised Knolles as the best of English historians, saying that "in his history of the Turks [Knolles] has displayed all the excellencies that narration can admit." Johnson explained Knolles' limited reputation by pointing out that his history recounted "enterprizes and revolutions, of which none desire to be informed".Knolles died in Sandwich in July 1610, and was buried in St. Mary’s church.Publishing dates for the editions of The Generall Historie of the Turkes1603 – original edition16101621 – includes continuation by Edward Grimestone1631 – includes continuation by Sir Thomas Roe, English Ambassador in Constantinople163816871700 – Sir Paul Rycaut edition1701 – two-volume abridged edition by John Savage".
