In the 1590s and until the early years of the seventeenth century he published a number of works, including, Arisbas, 1594, The Shepheardes Complaint, [?1596], and Greene in Conceipt, 1598, "now remembered for its title-page depiction of Robert Greene scribbling in his winding-sheet" [Oxford DNB]. In 1598 Dickenson published for Adam Islip a translation of Aristotle's Politiques and shortly after, perhaps through the influence of Sir Robert Sidney, became secretary to George Gilpin, Queen Elizabeth's agent at The Hague. Thereafter Dickenson became a much valued agent of the crown in the Low Countries and Germany, undertaking several diplomatic journeys including escorting Princess Elizabeth from Arnhem to Cologne, and later to Sigismund III in Poland. In later years he returned to London and served as a clerk of the privy council extraordinary, though he still undertook several diplomatic missions abroad. "Learned and analytical, Dickenson is in his literary writings as in his political letters a master of the small details... his ability to unpick the wording of treaties, where ambiguous syntax and confusions of translation were rife, and his insightful analyses of people and politics, were valued." - Oxford DNB.

This is the fourth Venetian edition published by Sessa, after those of 1533, 1535 & 1541. It is not in Sabin and COPAC records only one copy (University College, London).The second work, a treatise on the planispheric astrolabe for astronomers and navigators, is a later edition of the earliest book on any scientific instrument. It is now ascribed to Robert of Chester who worked in Segovia and London and wrote a treatise on the universal astrolabe, produced tables for the meridian of London, and translated al-Kwarizmi's Algebra. It was first printed in Perugia c.1477-79 but was edited by Pietro Catena and published in Venice in 1512. It describes the astrolabe and how to use it to locate astronomical bodies, determine local time and establish latitude and longitude. It is not listed on COPAC; WorldCat lists 2 copies only (Leiden and Michigan).
