Abstract

Describes a passage from Thomas Nashe's 1594 book 'The Unfortunate Traveller' that was borrowed by George Chapman for his play 'Bussy D'Ambois.' Possibility that Nashe may have borrowed the cock and lion image from the Greek skeptic Sextus Empiricus; Possibility that Chapman knew and read the English version of Sextus.
