SANDYS, George [1578-1644].First published in 1615, George Sandys' travels in the Levant quickly became the standard authority on the subject, being reprinted many times during the 17th century.The work chronicles the author's journey in 1610 from Venice to Constantinople, and thence to Greece, Egypt, Palestine, and the Mediterranean islands of Cyprus, Malta, Crete, Sicily, and Rhodes.

In 1621 he became colonial treasurer of the Virginia Company and sailed to Virginia with the new governor, Sir Francis Wyat, where he became a member of the governing council in 1624-8. Sandys also did a translation of Ovid's "Metamorphosis" in 1621, upon which his reputation as a poet chiefly rests. Cox 1, 206.
