Author's name and signature

This is going to be a serious longshot here.

The book Stefano Guazzo and the English Renaissance 1575-1675 was written by John Leon Lievsay.

I have a hardcover edition that is signed but, may or may not be signed by the author.

The extremely neat printed inscription is in all caps and reads:

"FOR ERNEST L. MARCHAND,
WHO WILL FIND HIMSELF DULY
RECORDED IN THE INDEX AND
IN THE AFFECTION OF THE
AUTHOR

JACK ("Jack" is underlined)"

Now I know people named John who go by Jack, just a general statement, as I am not trying to declare this without any degree of certainty whatsoever. What I am trying to find out is if anyone else has any overlapping stories that may include or remotely connect to the tidbits within the inscription, including Ernest Marchand who I am hoping is the author I think him to be.

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

I have five books from Lievsay's library with his signature in them. One of them even contains an inscription in Lievsay's hand:
'1/5/82 For Harry Satenstein, with the warm regards of John L Lievsay'

Do you have an image to post of your inscription? I can compare them.

What does this have to do with "Author and venue pictures"?

Crypto-Willobie (Is Willobie a play on a Twilight Zone reference?)...
I have been focused on logging books with blinders on and not checking the answers posted here. My apologies.

I can snap a pic with my phone. How shall I get the signature pic posted so that you can see it?

No, Willobie comes from the Elizabethan poem Willobie His Avisa, which tells a convoluted, perhaps allegorical, story concerning... a courtship? Queen Elizabeth? etc? and contains one of the earliest notices of William Shakespeare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willobie_His_Avisa

So I am the 'hidden Willobie' -- whatever that means. My name is Will-I-am...

So, how can we share the photo of the signature?

In regard to the Wiki entry, which reads as follows:

"Regarding works by Shakespeare
In the 1590s in London, there seemed to be enmity between authors who were from the University and those who were not, ..."

I was just reading the book, English Drama from Early Time to the Elizabethans by A.P. Rossiter and on page 148 there is a quote from Thomas Nashe that touches upon the quote from Wikipedia:

"... But thought he (Kyd) nor Shakespeare was a university man, it is right to insist that one of the main shaping force of the Elizabethan theater was the advent of what Nashe called the "Idiot art-masters' : the lightly associated group of Oxford and Cambridge men who turned, if only for a time, to professional play-writing for the popular companies who catered not for the Court alone, nor for the Inns of Court, but for the world : the little world of London, which was then the microcosm of England. But for that there could have been no Globe..."

Crypto-Wilobie: Did you still want to see the signature/inscription?

>7 ClearShax: You can upload the picture to your profile gallery, and just reference the url here. That's the simplest way.

I left you a Private Comment on your Profile Page which answers this question.

Or the suggestion in >10 2wonderY: would work as well.

Never mind all that -- here's a scan of the inscription as uploaded to my own Profile gallery...
