Arthur Golding
16th-century English linguist and translator / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Golding (c.ā1536 ā May 1606) was an English translator of more than 30 works from Latin into English. While primarily remembered today for his translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses because of its influence on William Shakespeare's works, in his own time he was most famous for his translation of Caesar's Commentaries, and his translations of the sermons of John Calvin were important in spreading the doctrines of the Protestant Reformation.
