Sandys, George (b. 2 MAR 1578, d. BEF 7 MAR 1644)
Note: George Sandys studied at St. Mary's Hall, Oxford, and in 1610 set out on a journey that would take him to France, Italy, Turkey, Egypt, Cyprus, and the Holy Land, a remarkably ambitious tour for that time. In 1615 he published The Relation of a Journey begun An. Dom. 1610, a book that enjoyed much success.
In 1621 he was appointed colonial treasurer of the colony of Virginia and accompanied Sir Francis Wyatt, the new governor, to the colony. He remained in Virginia until at least 1631. While in Virginia he completed his translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses, the first English poetry written in America.
Back in England he wrote several other books of poetry, including paraphrases of the psalms, and a translation of Grotius's Christ's Passion.
There is an article on George Sandys in the Dictionary of National Biography.
