Robert Sheringham

Robert Sheringham (1602–1678) was an English linguist, scholar and royalist writer.

[5] His Joma:Codex talmudicus (1648) was a Latin translation of and commentary on Yoma, the tractate of Seder Moed.

In The King's Supremacy Asserted (1660) he denied the possibility of a “mixed monarchy”.

It agreed with Samuel Bochart in its emphasis on the Phoenicians, and followed in part Verstegan in making English identity largely Germanic.

[7] It took a linguistic interest in origins, matching Welsh words to the Greek language.
