Fascinating! Have you managed to find a copy of the
Lincoln's Inn? I would be fascinated to see how it
appears.

over and over one whether the "fleurdelice" is in fact
like a fleuret or movimento. This interesting
reference to a "flower" creates yet another good link
to the fleuret idea.

Where DO you find this stuff?! Fascinating!
