Extract

AS early as March 23, 1535, 105 days before his execution, there had been written an epitaph for St. Thomas More. Salmonius Macrinus (Jean Salmon, valet de chambre to Francis 1, and known as Macrin) on March 23 presented a copy of the epitaph to some person who inscribed it on page 6 of a copy of Thomas's Epigrammata (Basel, December 1520).
