DONNO, Elizabeth Story. (editor).
An Elizabethan In 1582. The Diary of Richard Madox, Fellow of All Souls.
London: Printed for the Hakluyt Society, 1976. Second Series, Vol. 147. Tall 8vo., orig. blue cloth with a pictorial decoration in gilt on the upper board, xvi, 365pp. Spine slightly faded o/w fine.
Madox, along with John Walker, was appointed to the position of chaplain on Edward Fenton's Galleon Leicester, which set sail on 1 May 1582.[1] Fenton was intending to sail around the Cape of Good Hope to the Moluccas and China. Madox died on the voyage, on 27 February 1583, while the vessel was near Vitória, Brazil. Madox started writing his diary, which is now preserved in the British Museum, on 1 January 1582. During the voyage on the Galleon Leicester, Madox resorted to writing in a cipher, and then in Latin and Greek, in order to ensure his diary remained secret. As well as recording events on board, his diary during the voyage described various examples of flora and fauna which he encountered.
