Abstract:

The source of an Aristotelian quotation in Samuel Daniel's Defence of Ryme (1603) has long puzzled editors. This short essay traces Daniel's source to a chapter on versification in Omer Talon's Rhetoricae libri duo (1567), and sketches that chapter's influence on several other English critics in the decades either side of 1600.
