Robert WARING 1614?-1658

Biographical Note

Son of Edmund Waring of Ley, Staffordshire, a long established family there. BA Christ Church, Oxford 1634, MA 1637. He remained at Oxford where he supported the royalist cause in the 1640s. He was appointed senior proctor, and Camden professor of ancient history, in 164] but was shortly afterwards ejected, and banished from the University. He found refuge with Sir William Whitmore at Apley Hall in Shropshire. He travelled to the continent thereafter but returned to England and died in London. Shortly before his death, in 1657, his Amoris effigies, sive, quid sit amor? was published, which went through several editions and was translated as Effigies amoris in English, or, the picture of love unveil'd (1682).

Books

Waring is documented as having had to surrender books when banished from Oxford in 1648. His will refers to his library, "part whereof is at Tew [Oxfordshire] in the hands of Mr Garad, another part thereof at Apley near Bridgnorth and the residue thereof at Oldbury [Shropshire]". He directed that five folios should be chosen by Michael Thomas, rector of Stockton, Shropshire, five by William Fuller, and five by Francis Palmer, with the remainder of the books bequeathed to his cousin Giles Waring (b.1629/30), rector of St Alphege, London.
