William Phiston information

William Phiston or Fiston (fl. 1571 – 1609), was an English translator and author.^[1] He describes himself as "a student of London", and had some leading figures of the time as patrons. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography points out that a William Phiston matriculated at Magdalene College, Cambridge in 1572. It also notes the strong Protestant tone to the Testimonie, intended as a cheaper substitute for the Actes and Monuments.^[2]^[3]
