  1. The renaissance brought us some of the greatest art and some of the brutalist wars. Definitely a time of great contrasts. Can I suggest a future you look at James Murrey the first editor of the Oxford English Dictionary and Wiilam Minor one of the OEDs greatest contributor and where he was living at the time. Also the involvement of the then Home Secretary Winston Churchill, a noted man of words. Murrey himself would make an interesting story, but then again so would Minor.

  2.  @TheHistoryGuyChannel  I came across the story of these two people in a book called The Etymologicon, though I did see a documentary about the origins of the OED some time ago. As I said the story of either one of these two people is fascinating in itself, but the two combined adds greatly to the story.
