Anglicisation Of Names
The anglicisation of personal names is the change of non-English-language personal names to spellings nearer English sounds, or substitution of equivalent or similar English personal names in the place of non-English personal names. Anglicisation of personal names Classical, Medieval and Renaissance figures A small number of figures, mainly very well-known classical and religious writers, appear under English names—or more typically under Latin names, in English texts. This practice became prevalent as early as in English-language translations of the New Testament, where translators typically renamed figures such as Yeshu and Simon bar-Jonah as Jesus and Peter, and treated most of the other figures in the New Testament similarly. In contrast, translations of the Old Testament traditionally use the original names, more or less faithfully transliterated from the original Hebrew. Transatlantic explorers such as Zuan Chabotto and Cristoforo Colombo became popularly known as Jo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Robert Copland
Robert Copland ( fl. 1508–1547), English printer and author, is said to have been a servant of William Caxton, and certainly worked for Wynkyn de Worde. The first book to which his name is affixed as a printer is ''The Boke of Justices of Peace'' (1515), at the sign of the Rose Garland, in Fleet Street, London. Anthony à Wood supposed, on the ground that he was more educated than was usual in his trade, that he had been a poor scholar of Oxford. His best known works are ''The hye way to the Spytell hous'', a dialogue in verse between Copland and the porter of St Bartholomew's hospital, containing much information about the vagabonds who found their way there, including thieves' cant; and ''Jyl of Breyntford's Testament'', dismissed in '' Athenae Oxonienses'' (ed. Bliss) as a poem devoid of wit or decency, and totally unworthy of further notice. He translated from the French the romances of ''Kynge Appolyne of Thyre'' (W. de Worde, 1510), '' The History of Helyas Knyght of the S ...
