The Digital Ark: Early Modern Collections of Curiosities in England and Scotland, 1580-1700
Thomas Rymer (c. 1643 - 13 Dec 1713)
English historiographer royal, succeeding Thomas Shadwell. His sixteen-volumes Fœdera (published from 1704 to 1713) collected "all the leagues, treaties, alliances, capitulations, and confederacies, which have at any time been made between the Crown of England and any other kingdoms, princes and states." Uffenbach says Rymer incorporated Ashmole's The History of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. References in Documents:
