Historia Titj Liuij Patauini ab aduentu Aeneæ in Italiam ... vsque ad interitum Romulj
'Historia Titj Liuij Patauini ab aduentu Aeneæ in Italiam ... vsque ad interitum Romulj ...', a poor poem in Latin hexameter verse, with prose English translation, and a long Latin dedicatory preface by Henricus Hook to Charles lord Howard of Effingham: the poem beg. 'Insula diues opum.' This seems to be a youthful performance of Henry Hook, archdn. of York, who matriculated at C. C. C. Cambridge in 1574.
