August
Thomas Trevilian or Trevelyon compiled and illustrated three magnificent manuscript miscellanies: one in the Wormsley Library (1616), a more recently discovered miscellany now in the library at University College, London (c. 1603), and the Trevelyon manuscript of 1608 in the Folger Shakespeare Library, edited by Heather Wolfe, and represented by the August calendar in Figure 3.4.8.3

Trevelyon was clearly fascinated with calendars; all three manuscripts include elaborate calendars, and all pull a range of material from annual and perpetual almanacs and other sources, including almanacs by Thomas Buckminster, Thomas Bretnor, Edward Pond, and Henry Alleyn, and material from Thomas Tusser’s Five Hundredth Points of Good Husbandry, Leonard Digges’ Prognostication Everlasting, and Richard Grafton’s

Figure 3.4.8 August, Trevelyon Miscellany, Manuscript, Folger Shakespeare Library, V.b.232, fol. Hr, 1608. Used by permission of the Folger Shakespeare Library.
Treatise.4 The saints in the calendars in the 1608 manuscript appear to combine the lists from Grafton’s Treatise and Bretnor’s annual almanacs. Each calendar in the Folger manuscript is presented opposite a page that includes an illustrated labor of the month, calendar poetry for the month, and other standard almanac information such as the length of the hours of night and day. Trevelyon’s creative merging of different sources, his use of traditional calendars updated with Tudor imagery, and his inclusion of
Sample calendars, 1518-1640 277 information typical of most almanacs—dates for Easter, parameters of the law terms, how to find the age of the Moon, the dates for principal fairs, equivalences for measurement, directions, and historical chronology— suggest he was steeped in the calendar culture of the time.
