John Stewart of Baldynneis (c. 1545–c. 1605) was a writer and courtier at the Scottish Court. he was one of the Castalian Band grouped around James VI. He was the translator of Ariosto's Orlando Furioso producing an abridgement in twelve cantos in 1590 preceding Sir John Harington's translation the following year.[1] The translation appeared with some of his own poems in a volume bearing the title {{lang|enm|Ane Abbregement of Roland Fvriovs, translait ovt of Aroist: togither vith sym Rapsodies of the Avthor's yovthfvll braine, and last ane Schersing ovt of trew Felicitie; composit in Scotis meiter be J. Stewart of Baldynneis}}[1] a copy of which is preserved in the Advocates Library, Edinburgh. This may well have been the 'propyne' of verse which Stewart gave to James VI as a new year present in 1584. Stewart wrote of the king deserving a "doubill croune and moir", not just referring to the likelihood of James inheriting the English throne, but also to coronation of Petrarch as poet-king in Rome in 1341, or that of Conrad Celtes in 1487.[2] References1. ^1 {{Cite EB1911 |wstitle=Stewart, J. |volume=25 |page=914}} 2. ^Court, Kirk, and Community: Scotland, 1470-1625 by Jenny Wormald (p. 186) External links
