Re: Earliest (detailed) sketch of Stonehenge
Nov 30, 2006, 14:27
Incidentally, what is the spelling for Stonehenge that they used?


Dunno, I'd assumed it was as now - Stonehenge but the more I look at the ninth letter, which should be a g, I'm not so sure. In fact the more I look at the whole bit of manuscript the more puzzling it becomes (that's not to say it's not authentic). The top five lines seem to be by a different hand than the bottom three, and the name Stonehenge itself seems to be a third hand (compare the ts). The name Stonehenge also looks to be in a more modern hand - maybe it was added above the sketch at a later date.

Fascinating, and certainly needs someone with the right expertise to look at it.
