[MR] BBC: Elizabeth I Linked to Lambeth Manuscript

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends,

A manuscript in Lambeth Palace Library has now been linked by a historian
to Queen Elizabeth I. The work is a 42-page translation from Tacitus on how
monarchs should rule and dates from the 1590s. The translation is written
on royal stationery, probably by a scribe working from a draft, but is
corrected in a scrawl known to be the Queen's own hand. Queen Elizabeth is
known to have been working on translations of Tacitus from references in
surviving documents from courtiers.
