pieces were written earlier, Malim's own contribution begins on leaf 2. One copy is by a "ffranciscus Verus", supposed to be Sir Francis Vere. Malim also translated from the Italian a short pamphlet on the successful siege of Famagusta in Cyprus by the Ottoman Empire, published by John Daye, London, 1572. The long title begins: The True Report of all the successe of Famagosta, of the antique writers called Tamassus, a citie in Cyprus, &c. The dedication to the Earl of Leicester, which occupies seven pages out of a total of forty-eight, is dated "from Lambheth, the 23rd of March, An. 1572." The original by Nestore Martinengo was L'Assedio e presa di Famagosta. This translation was then used by George Gascoigne in his Devise of a Maske, written for Anthony Browne, 1st Viscount Montagu. One of the sets of verses in Geoffrey Whitney's Choice of Emblemes, 1586, p. 152, is addressed to Malim.
