Lodowick Bryskett (1547–1612 ca., fl. 1571–1611), poet, translator, and Irish official. ==Life== He is stated to have been the son of ‘a natural Italian', but of his early life nothing definite is known. He was generally believed to have relations in Florence, where he certainly had many correspondents. He matriculated as a pensioner of Trinity College, Cambridge, 27 April 1559, but left the university without proceeding to a degree. On 7 April 1671 Lord Burghley was informed that Bryskett was temporarily filling the office of clerk of the council in Ireland under Sir Henry Sidney. Before 1572 he had become the intimate friend of Sir Henry Sidney's son, Philip Sidney, and he was young Sidney's companion on a three years' continental tour through Germany, Italy, and Poland (1572–l575). In 1577, he became clerk of the chancery for the faculties in Ireland, an office in which he was succeeded by Edmund Spenser. Afterwards (1582), he received from Arthur Grey, 14th Baron Grey de Wilton the appointment of secretary of the Munster council. About the same time he made the acquaintance of the poet Spenser, Lord Grey's secretary, and Spenser relieved the tedium of official life by teaching his new friend Greek. Bryskett remained in Munster for manv years. In 1594, he sought to be reappointed clerk of the Irish council, but failing to obtain that post he was granted the ‘clerkship of the casualties’ in the following year. In 1600, Sir Robert Cecil wrote to Sir George Carew in his behalf, and described him as ‘an ancient servitor of the realm of Ireland, and now employed by her majesty beyond the seas.’ He had an interest in Bridgetown Abbey, which Cecil asked Carew to secure to him. In 1606, he was reputed to hold large estates in Dublin, Cavan, and Cork. He is stated to have been alive in 1611. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lodowick Bryskett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
