A. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: REED-L Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 15:01:08 +0100 (BST) From: Joe Parish <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Dear Abigail Young, I am researching the extinct dodo, and in particular the specimens brought over to Europe in the early seventeenth century. There is mention of one such specimen, in the collections of the Anatomy School at Oxford, which was donated by one William Gosling. Gosling is mentioned in the Oxford REED as performing a play, "Hierusalem in it's glory, destruction" in 1634. I was wondering whether anyone on the REED-L might have any further information on Gosling, or any other people linked with the dodo specimens in early seventeenth century England. If you could maybe subscibe me or forward a message to the list I would be most grateful.
