Dear All,
I am forwarding a question to the list from my colleague Yvonne Bruce.
>In _Neostoicism and the Early Modern State_, Gerhard Oestreich makes a
>passing reference to a friendship between Justus Lipsius and Sir Philip
>Sidney (114), but Oestreich does not footnote his reference, and I have
>found no other references to or evidence of this friendship. Can anyone
>help?
Katherine Duncan-Jones notes that Lipsius dedicated a treatise on Latin
pronunciation to Sidney. She also quotes in her biography from a letter
Sidney wrote to Lipsius (p.294). Of how long a standing was the two men's
acquaintance? Where can one find more about their relationship?
Thanks in advance,
