Author
Anacreon is documented in Fuller’s letters (1846). No work is named in the surviving passages, all in Letter to Richard F. Fuller, and the most intensive engagement recorded is “read”.
Reprints, Memoirs passages, and repeat notes within a single manuscript are shown but never counted twice. Evidence for this author is selective, not exhaustive. Methodology →
