Laurence Twine (fl. 1564-1576), Writer and translator whose The Pattern of Painful Adventures, registered in 1576, provided Shakespeare with a source for Pericles. An edition of 1607 may have drawn Shakespeare´s attention to the subject. The book also had a direct influence on George Wilkins´s The Painful Adventures of Pericles Prince of Tyre (1608).
From the library of Swedish antiquarian bookdealer Björn Löwendahl (1941-2013).
