James D. George suggested that the writer was Johann Adolf von Glauberg (1556 - 1611), the son of Dr. Adolf von Glauburg (1524 - 1555) who gave support to English Protestant exiles during the reign of Queen Mary; however in MS 1009/2/24 the writer names his son as August, and this identifies him as Johann von Glauburg (1529 - 1609), the stepfather of Johann Adolf von Gluburg. |
