Philip Traherne

Philip Traherne, or Traheron (/trəˈhɑːrn/; 9 August 1635 in Lugwardine 1686 in St. Nicholas, Hereford) was an English diplomat, author of books.

He was son of Thomas Traherne (1603–1644) and Mary.[1] He was English Chaplain at Smyrna in 1669-1674. He possessed minuscule 71, a Greek manuscript of the four Gospels, and brought it to England. Traherne collated text of the manuscript, and in 1679, presented it to Lambeth Palace along with its collation.

gollark: I just *suspend to RAM* when it's not in use, so restores take a few seconds at most.
gollark: Oh, this is a laptop.
gollark: Well, "work"space.
gollark: And I think my reboot-time metric is tracking "time from power on to working desktop", not "time to full workspace starting up", which is more like... 40 seconds?
