Étienne Baluze (1630-1718)^{[4, p.13]} I think Freeman’s passage calls Baluze a forger, “knowing transgressors”. I could be wrong which is why I made this note. I encourage others who are able to determine if Baluze belongs on this list to do so and let me know if I’m right or wrong.

Thomas Warton (1728-1790)^{[4, p.13]} I think Freeman’s passage calls Warton a forger, “knowing transgressors”. I could be wrong which is why I made this note. I encourage others who are able to determine if Warton belongs on this list to do so and let me know if I’m right or wrong.
