Content: Complete Work

Thomas Nicolls (ca. 1523-1612), translator. Nicolls matriculated at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, in 1544, where he studied under Sir John Cheke for about three years. In 1548, he was admitted to the Goldsmiths' Company by patrimony. In 1550, Nicholls published an English translation of Thucydides. He dedicated the work to his former tutor, Sir John Cheke, and it is likely that the translation was used as a school text for Edward VI. ODBN
