Abstract
The purpose of this contribution is to document a complete English verse translation of Tasso's epic which has remained unprinted, and virtually unnoticed, since its composition in the mid- to late seventeenth century. It proceeds towards presentation of a sample canto by way of discussion of the translator, Sir Gilbert Talbot (c. 1607–1695); of the literary-historical context; then finally, and briefly, of the translation itself. The text is taken from manuscripts in the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford.
