About the author

Matthew Feilde appears to have been an English author active around the turn of the 17th century. Reliable biographical detail is limited, and even basic facts about his life are hard to confirm from widely available reference sources.

He is chiefly noted today through historical listings and bibliographic references rather than through a large surviving public profile. That suggests a writer whose place in literary history is modest but still of interest to readers exploring early modern English religious and scholarly literature.

Because the record is so thin, it is safest to describe him as an obscure early modern English author whose surviving reputation rests on a small body of attributed work.
