- Title
THOMAS LINACRE AND A MIDDLE ENGLISH BRUT MANUSCRIPT.
- Authors
Edwards, A. S. G.
- Abstract
The article examines a 15th or 16th century signature of the name Thomas Linacer appearing on a parchment and paper manuscript of the Middle English work "Brut" held by the British Library. It suggests the signature may belong to English physician and humanist Thomas Linacre, but notes inconsistencies between it and signatures on other manuscripts and books belonging to the scholar. The author suggests that Linacre's signature and methods of identifying his books may have changed over time.
