Abstract
  • Scholars have long assumed that poet-playwright Samuel Daniel (1562-1619) had traveled to Italy, basing this view on dedications and prefaces to Daniel's poetry. But until now, there has been no documentary evidence that clearly places him there. An album amicorum owned by an Austrian, Erhard Grunthaler (1562-1614), contains signatures of four Englishmen, including Daniel, whose inscription to the album owner, dated June 30,1591, recalls their journey together across the Alps to Italy.
