Several years ago Professor Gray of Bryn Mawr discovered, on the Exchequer Rolls for 1455–56, record of payments to four Greek visitors to England. Having noticed that discussions of English humanism were inclined to run thin for the third quarter of the century, he presented his findings concerning these Greeks as a contribution toward a new and more detailed telling of the story. He established that one of the beneficiaries, Emanuel of Constantinople, was the scribe of the famous Leicester Codex of the New Testament, and discussed the learned character of the King's Council in these years. Nevertheless, he concluded on so modest a note that one was not yet confident of the continuity of English humanism after the death of Humphrey in 1447. Previous writers give us a full and glowing account of the stir of men's minds under the influence of Humphrey, and a hasty sketch of travellers to and from Italy after Humphrey's death, not swinging into another full and vivid narrative until they reach the later years of Henry VII.
