[John Locke]

This red herring goes back to a Frenchman, James Amiot. He published a French translation of Plutarch's Lives, which is of interest because it was one of Shakespeare's sources.

He also claimed to have discovered some lost manuscripts of Plutarch, one of which tells the story of the mysterious travel notes found at Carthage. Frankly, I don't believe it.

Thanks. I didn't know where I read that.
