Robert Armin, an English player, author, and associate of Shakespeare. His name appears in the original list of the performers of Shakespeare's plays, given in the first folio edition of his works, He translated a small Italian novel, "The Italian Taylor and his Boy," and wrote a dramatic piece entitled "The History of the Two Maids of More Clacke;" and he is alluded to by Nash in 1502 as a writer of stories and ballads. His only work which at present has interest is entitled "A Nest of Ninnies, simply of themselves, without Compounds. Stultorum plena sunt omnia. By Robert Armin, 1608." Only a single copy of the original edition remains, which is in the Bodleian library. It was reprinted by the Shakespeare society in 1842.
