I apologize for the long delay. Lear is now open, the understudies have been trained in their fights, the final manuscript complete with copy-edits has been sent, and I have a little more time to devote to this.
One of the interesting things about getting the marked up pages of the copy-edits (grammer, spelling, punctuation, etc.) was that there was a list of every single name I had used in the book. Now, I was aware that I had used many names – but not that many! Most of them are passing references, but here we go. We begin with the letter A:
Abbot of San Zeno, father of the current abbot
Abbot of San Zeno
Abelard
Alaghiero di Cacciaguida
Albertino Mussato
Alberto della Scala I
Alberto della Scala II
Alboino della Scala
Alexander
Alighiero Alaghieri
Amabilio, Signora de
Andriolo
Antonia Alaghieri (Imperia)
Antonio Capecelatro (Antony)
Antonio Nogarola
Arcole family
Aristotle
Arthur
Aurelia Montecchio
Aventino Fracastoro
