The Jewish Encyclopedia notes it as one of the first Hebrew grammars in a living European language, with the one in Italian by Guglielmo dei Franchi, Sole della Lingua Sancta (1591). The work was prized by James VI of Scotland, who reportedly asked for Udall on his arrival in England in 1603, and, on learning that he was dead, to have exclaimed, ‘By my soul, then, the greatest scholar of Europe is dead.’The anecdote of King James is given, for example, in Benjamin Brook, The Lives of the Puritans, Volume 2 (1813) p. 23; Google Books. In 1593 also appeared (anonymously in London) the first edition of Udall's ; other editions are dated 1595, 1599, and 1637. A Dutch translation by J. Lamstium is dated 1660. Udall's , which was issued in 1596, is a reprint of his Amendment of Life and Obedience to the Gospel. Erroneously attributed to him, according to Sidney Lee in the Dictionary of National Biography is an antipapal tract, An Antiquodlibet, or an Advertisement to beware of Secular Priests, Middelburg, 1602; it is now attributed to Dudley Fenner.In the company of Shakespeare: essays on English Renaissance literature in honor of G.

Ambrose Dudley, 3rd Earl of Warwick in The true Remedie against Famine and Warres (1586). Henry Hastings, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon, Combat between Christ and the Devil.
