词条 | Anthony Ascham (astrologer) |
释义 |
Anthony Ascham (fl. 1553), was an English astrologer. He was born at Kirby Wiske, near Northallerton, Yorkshire, the third son of John Ascham (d. 1544) of Kirby Wiske, who was a yeoman farmer and steward to Lord Scrope of Bolton, and his wife, Margaret.[1] Ascham studied at Cambridge, became M.B. in 1540, and in 1553 was presented by Edward VI to the vicarage of Burneston, Yorkshire. He is probably to be identified with Anthony, the brother of Roger Ascham (cf. Grant's Vita Axchami in Ascham's Works, ed. Giles, iv. 307). Works
Ascham is also the suggested author, by some researchers, of the Voynich manuscript.[2] References1. ^Bernard Capp, ‘Askham , Anthony (c. 1517–1559)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 accessed 11 August 2011 {{Cite DNB|wstitle=Ascham, Anthony}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Ascham, Anthony}}2. ^{{cite journal|format=pdf|url=http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA070618&Location=U2&doc=GetTRDoc.pdf|publisher=National Security Agency|accessdate=31 October 2011|title=The Voynich Manuscript: An Elegant Enigma|author=D'Imperio, M.E.|year=1978}} 8 : People of the Tudor period|English astrologers|English astrological writers|16th-century English writers|16th-century male writers|People from Yorkshire|People from North Yorkshire|People from Northallerton |
