Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'On 19 May 1554, Ascham sent Francis Alan, Gardiner’s Secretary, a copy of Iacopo de Strada’s brand new book on coins, with an elaborate dedicatory letter. The book and letter were recently found by Lucy Nicholas in the library of Lichfield Cathedral. The letter was known from Edward Grant’s edition of Ascham’s letters (no date given), and from the translation given by Abraham Fleming in his Panoplie of Epistles, but not with the context of Strada’s book or the correct date (Londini. Decimo nono Maii. MDLIIII = London, 19 May 1554).' (Burnett 2020b, pp. 1359-60)

RemarksRemarks regarding the annotation. (en)

The book is Lichfield Cathedral Library, R49A. It is signed on the title page by a later owner ‘E (or possibly F) Hartford’. This might be Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford, of the 3rd creation, (1539–1621), the grandfather of William, 2nd Duke of Somerset (1588–1660), whose wife Frances, Duchess of Somerset, gave his books to the library in 1673: another volume in the same library has one of his bindings.
