I am a suspicious soul....
That’s messy? I don’t think they know what that word means.
I am not sure why this is surprising. Elizabeth the 1st was very well educated. Her tutoring was the finest available. Her education was in many ways superior to the other rulers of her times.
interesting that she translated Tacitus.
However, it has long been known she did a translation of Boethius, so she must have been a scholar.
Well, my name is Elizabeth and my handwriting is getting seriously messy in my older years, so I’m glad to find out that I am in such illustrious company. But, I see nothing awry about the page pictured here. Looks like a professional calligrapher wrote it.
