I thing the origin and fate of the comnapy of Maisters belongs in its own article.

Can anyone reference the 1605 date? I was sure it was more like 1600/01.

--Peregrine

I agree about the Maisters. The 1605 date comes from the reference to Great Britain in the introduction to Brief Instructions, where Paradoxes referred to England. When James I (who was James VI of Scotland) became King of England, joining the two in a personal union, he called himself 'King of Great Brittaine, France and Ireland'. Hence the introduction, at least, was almost certainly written after 1603, when he was crowned, or 1604, when he referred to Great Britain. Megalophias 17:01, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that one.--Peregrine
