A note on the type of author

​

The author has been set in Insubstantia. The type has a venerable history although much of it has been lost. For this reason we must rely on the assertions and self-assessments of recent authors set in Insubstantia, all of whom have proved unreliable sources of information on the topic. Nevertheless they cannot be gainsaid. It's their word against yours. Or in some cases their word against their own words. Such has been the appeal of Insubstantia through the years.
