John Viccars

, was originally of the University of Cambridge, where taking one degree in Arts, retired to Oxon, setled in Lincolne coll. in the condition of a Commoner, an. 1624, and the next year proceeded in Arts as a member of that house. Afterwards he travelled beyond the Seas, visited divers Academies and Recesses of learning, and gained from them and their respective Libraries great experience and knowledge. He hath written, Decapla in psalmos. Sive commentarius ex decem Linguis, antiquis paetribus, Clar. 1639. Rab. Historicis & Poetis, &c. Lond. 1639. fol. which book doth plainly demonstrate, that he was a most admirable Linguist, and the best for the Oriental tongues in his time. I shall make large mention of John Vicars the Poet among the writers under the year 1652.
