Not directly relevant, but I came across a book this morning on Google Books
entitled "Sobriquets and Nicknames" By Albert Romer Frey while researching
Joshua Sylvester and Van Dalen.
It had many for Sidney, so I thought I'd take the time to "cull and paste"
them for the list. All are, I believe, attributed.

If anyone has suggestions on material for Van Dalen, especially as it
relates to the 1633 Divine Weekes portrait, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but here's one
possible start: Elizabeth apparently described Sidney as "le plus
accompli gentilhomme de l'Europe" to John Casimir. Jan A. van Dorsten
briefly comments on the phrase in "Sidney and Languet" (Huntington
Library Quarterly 1966, 29.3); Languet seems to have recorded the remark
in a letter (July 1579) to Matthaeus Wacker.

I'm ashamed to have to ask; but does anyone remember to whom Elizabeth
described Philip Sidney as 'the most accomplished gentleman in Europe'?
I have a dim memory that she said it in French, so possibly (but not
necessarily) to a Frenchman.
Many thanks,
