The Polyhistor of Gaius Julius Solinus
C. Iulii Solini Polyhistor (1543)
First Modern Translation
Only antiquated translations exist. This is the first modern English translation.
The work 'Polyhistor' by Solinus was translated into English by Arthur Golding in 1587, titled 'The excellent and pleasant worke of Iulius Solinus Polyhistor'. As this is an Elizabethan-era translation, there is no modern scholarly English translation of the Latin text. Therefore, this is a 'first modern translation' case.
