See also:HOLINSHED (or HOLLINGSIIEAD), See also:RAPHAEL (d. c. 158o) , See also:English chronicler, belonged probably to a See also:Cheshire See also:family, and according to See also:Anthony See also:Wood was educated at one of the Englishuniversities, afterwards becoming a " See also:minister of See also:God's Word." The authenticity of these facts is doubtful, although it is possible that Raphael was the Holinshed who matriculated from See also:Christ's See also:College, See also:Cambridge, in 1544. About 156o he came to See also:London and was employed as a translator by Reginald or Rtyner See also:Wolfe, to whom he says he was " singularly beholden." Wolfe was already engaged in the preparation of a universal See also:history, and Holinshed worked for some years on this undertaking; but after Wolfe's See also:death in 1573 the See also:- SCOPE (through Ital. scopo, aim, purpose, intent, from Gr. o'KOaos, mark to shoot at, aim, o ic07reiv, to see, whence the termination in telescope, microscope, &c.)
scope of the See also:work was abridged, and it appeared in 1578 as the See also:Chronicles of See also:England, See also:Scotland, and See also:Ireland. The work was in two volumes, which were illustrated, and although Holinshed did a See also:great See also:deal of the work he received valuable assistance from See also:- WILLIAM

William See also:Harrison (1534–1593) and others, while the See also:part dealing with the history of Scotland is mainly a See also:translation of See also:Hector See also:Boece's Scotorum historiae. Afterwards, as is shown by his will, Holinshed served as steward to See also:- THOMAS

A second edition of the Chronicles, enlarged and improved but without illustrations, which appeared in 1587, contained statements which were offensive to See also:Queen See also:Elizabeth and her advisers, and immediately after publication some of the pages were excised by See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order of the privy See also:council. These excisions were published separately in 1723.. An edition of the Chronicles, in accordance with the See also:original See also:text, was published in six volumes in 1808. The work contains a large amount of See also:information, and shows that its compilers were men of great See also:industry; but its See also:chief See also:interest lies in the fact that it was largely used by See also:Shakespeare and other Elizabethan dramatists; Shakespeare, who probably used the edition of 1587, obtaining from the Chronicles material for most of his See also:historical plays, and also for See also:Macbeth, See also:- KING
