SUMMARY

Peter Elmer's Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry, the standard modern scholarly biography of Valentine Greatrakes (1629-1683). Confirmed via the DOI resolver (Crossref record: Elmer, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, 23 Sept 2004). Elmer is also the author of the leading modern monograph on Greatrakes (Oxford University Press, 2013). Full text of this ODNB entry is institutional/paywalled and was not read beyond the DOI resolver's bibliographic metadata; it is attached to this case only as a general background reference confirming Elmer's standing as the leading modern biographer of Greatrakes, and no specific fact or interpretive conclusion in this case is attributed to its unread content.

NOTES

This entry’s unread content is not the basis for any fact or characterization in this case; every biographical detail this case states is independently drawn from the directly fetched, quoted Dictionary of National Biography (1890) entry, separately cited.
