ERLER, MARY C.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the will of English printer Wynkyn de Worde of Saint Bride's parish in London, England. The will only exists in the form of five summaries written between 1812 and 1925, the original copy can no longer found. Witnesses to de Worde's will included attorney John Studde, a wealthy neighbor of the same parish; Thomas Cooke, possibly a haberdasher; and stationer John Tourner. It considers bequests to apprentices, servants, and the local parish and analyzes the will's wording in comparison with contemporary wills regarding de Worde's state of mind, church donations, and guild bequests.
