Paradoxes of Defence — George Silver

Book 1599 English United Kingdom

George Silver

Created because no clean standalone local George Silver work existed; the previous local candidate was a noisy reference cluster.

Castle also records the 1599 London witness of George Silver's Paradoxes of Defence.

Additional MS 34192 is retained as a manuscript witness of the same work.
