Jasper Heywood, 1535-1598, English Jesuit and poet. These translations from Seneca were his first works, and were written by him before
he entered the novitiate. He became a priest in the Society of Jesus in 1562. An edition of these translations was not printed
in Oxford in 1560, and the error in the 1815 catalogue may have arisen from the printed description of the author on each
title-page.
