Hegge wrote a ‘Treatise of Dials and Dialling,’ preserved in the college library, to which he also presented a manuscript of
Augustine of Hippo's
De Civitate Dei. Another treatise from his pen, entitled
In aliquot Sacræ Paginæ loca lectiones, was published at London in 1647 by
John Hall. A third treatise by Hegge, entitled
Saint Cvthbert; or the Histories of his Chvrches at Lindisfarne, Cvncacestre, and Dvnholme, was written in 1625 and 1626. Richard Baddeley, private secretary to
Thomas Morton, bishop of Durham, printed an edition of it from a copy in Lord Fairfax's library, and suppressed the name of the author; he called it ‘The Legend of St. Cvthbert, with the Antiquities of the Church of Durham. By B. R., Esq.,’ London, 1663. A very correct edition was printed in quarto by
George Allan at his press in
Darlington in 1777, and another by
John Brough Taylor, at
Sunderland in 1816. Taylor's edition is printed from a manuscript, probably the author's autograph, which belonged to Frevile Lambton of Hardwick. ==See also==
