Iter Lancastrense is a poem written by Richard James in the year of 1636. The poem is an account of a journey that James took through Lancashire, a county in the north of England. The poem is written in Latin, and it is divided into 12 sections, each of which describes a different part of the journey. In the poem, James describes the landscape, the people, and the towns that he encounters on his journey. He also includes historical and mythological references, as well as descriptions of local customs and traditions. The poem is a fascinating glimpse into life in Lancashire in the 17th century, and it provides insight into the culture and history of the region.Iter Lancastrense is a significant work of literature because it is one of the few surviving accounts of Lancashire from this time period. It is also notable for its poetic style, which is influenced by the classical Latin poets of ancient Rome. The poem has been studied by scholars of literature, history, and culture, and it continues to be an important source of information about Lancashire and its people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
