Thomas Langley (priest)

Thomas Langley was an English clergyman who rose to the position of canon of the 9th prebend of Winchester cathedral, which he held between 1559 and his death in 1581/82. In 1546, he translated parts of the De rerum inventoribus by Polydore Vergil (c. 1470—1555), and in 1552 a treatise on the Sabbath written in Italian by Giulio da Milano (viz. Giuseppe della Rovere [1504—1581]). He also wrote Latin verses in 1559 for William Cunningham’s Cosmographical Glass.
