³⁸ The name Thierry appears to be common amongst Huguenots, spelled variously, Thiery, Therry, Thery, Tyere etc. In his Journal Schellinks consistently spells the name as Thierrij, (unusually for him: he is very inconsistent in spelling names, often different versions of a name are found in one sentence), but for simplicity's sake we have followed Elias, who uses Thierry.

⁵³ The ‘Dutch’ Church in Rome, Santa Maria dell'Anima, now the German church there, was founded by a Dutch couple in the fourteenth century (see Luff, A.G., A Christian's guide to Rome (1990), p. 171–2Google Scholar). On 14 March 1665, Copenhagen MS p. 1093, soon after Schellinks's return to Rome, he records that he wrote to Holland ‘about the grave of Sig. Steffano Thierry to have an epitaph erected on this by Mons J. Th. on which it was planned to carve … in marble, after the titles:

London saw my Spring life

Oxford gave us the Wisdom

Naples wealth; Rome the grave,

On which nephew gave this citation’.

Steffano Thierry's death, as recorded in the parochial burial register, is given in Hoogewerff, G.J.: Nederlandsche Kunstenaars te Rome (1600–1723), The Hague, 1942, p. 200Google Scholar. Foster's Alumni Oxoniensis does not record a Thierry matriculating at the time.
