Mary Clar(c)ke Bassett (née Roper) was Thomas More granddaughter. From her mother Margaret, she inherited a taste for writing: Mary’s translation of his grandfather’s History of the Passion, included by William Rastell in More’s English works (1557), was the only text by a woman to appear in print during the reign of Mary Tudor. However, this paper will not deal with the aforementioned work, but rather with a less well known text that has also come down to us: a translation of Eusebius’ Historia Ecclesiastica, attributed to “Maria Clarcke” (Harleian MS. 1860) and preserved in the British Museum
