This work is comprised of a
second edition of the
Institutiones Grammaticae
above, no. 4836, including the Grammatica Islandica of Jonas, with additions by Hickes, and a catalogue of Anglo-Saxon manuscripts by Humfrey
Wanley. The work is dedicated to Prince George of Denmark, and in his preface, according to information obtained from the
Dictionary of National Biography, Hickes assigns the authorship of
The Whole Duty of Man
to Lady Pakington, under whose roof he was living.
Humfrey Wanley, 1672-1726, English antiquary, was employed by George Hickes during 1699 and 1700 to search through England for Anglo-Saxon
manuscripts. The results were published in 1705 as the second volume of Hickes’s work with a dedication to Robert Harley,
who had introduced Wanley to Hickes. The dedication was translated into Latin by Edward Thwaites (1667-1711) the Anglo-Saxon
scholar.
Sir Andrew Fountaine, 1676-1753, studied Anglo-Saxon under Hickes, and published in this
Thesaurus his
Numismata Anglo-Saxonica et Anglo-Danica Illustrata.
