John Bury (translator)
John Bury (1535–1571) was an English translator.
John Bury was the son of William Bury, a London draper. He is said to have been educated at Cambridge University.[1] He translated from Greek into English the speech of Isocrates, Isocratis ad Demonicum oratio parenetica or Admonysion to Demonicus, with a dedication to his uncle, Sir William Chester, 1557. It was published by the printer William Copland, paired with Benedict Burgh's version of the Distichs of Cato.[2]
