This first English guide to Italy seems to have been based on Bargrave’s manuscript journal, which is lost, and was published under the name of his young nephew, who was one of the young men in his care on his first journey to Italy. The copy in the Cathedral Library at Canterbury was not Bargrave’s own, but given by a later donor. G-20-14.
