Excerpt from The Latin Poems Commonly Attributed to Water Mapes

The great popular movements in England during the end of the twelfth and the earlier half of the thirteenth centuries, gave rise to a numerous class of Latin poems of a very peculiar character, re markable chie?y for pungency of satire, or spright liness of composition. The remains of this poetry, which we have long been in the habit of attributing to Walter Mapes, appear to be of sufficient interest and importance to be collected into a volume; and prefatory to the poems themselves, it will naturally be expected that we should give some account of the presumed author.

Excerpt from The Latin Poems Commonly Attributed to Water Mapes

From that writer we learn that Mapes (or Map, which appears to be the proper orthography of the name), was a great favourite of King Henry II., who esteemed him equally for his extensive learning and for his courtly manners, and that he was one of the ornaments of the court of that monarch. He obtained, by this high favour, various ecclesiastical dignities, being canon of the churches of Salisbury and of St. Paul's in London, præcentor of Lincoln, incumbent of Westbury in Gloucestershire, with many other benefices, and finally archdeacon of Oxford. We learn from Thomas of Walsingham that he obtained this latter dignity in 1197, and he probably held it as well as the parsonage of Westbury to the end of his life. He visited Rome at the time of the great dispute between his friend Giraldus and Hubert Archbishop of Canterbury, relating to the rights of the Church of St. David's.
