Talk: 'Two Men and Two books: Evidence for Humanism, Law and Royal Service under the early Tudors'

Brown Bag Talk, Huntington Library, San Marino, USA. This was a work in progress talk about material held at the library. John Gunthorpe and Richard Nix were humanist colleagues in the 1490s with careers in law and royal administration. By looking at books they owned which are now in the Huntington's collections, we can begin to discuss networks of intellectual interests among elite priests in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
