Manes Verulamiani

The Manes Verulamiani

ed. Gundry, W. G. C., Manes Verulamiani, Privately Printed, London, 1950, pp.63

Wilfred Gundry a barrister of the Middle Temple was a member of The Francis Bacon Society for more than half-a-century and served on the Council for many years. ‘Of the books and pamphlets which Mr. Gundry wrote and edited in support of our cause perhaps the most noteworthy is the Manes Verulamiani of 1626, printed in full photo-facsimile in its original Latin with English translations and notes. This exceedingly rare book is one of the strongest pieces of evidence for the Baconian cause. As such it must have appealed to Wilfred Gundry's legal mind. This facsimile edition, limited to 400 copies of which only a few remain, is unlikely to be reprinted, and no Baconian library should be without one. It is strange that Bacon's principal biographer, James Spedding, should have neglected it.’
