From 360e80ba0834a88e684a30367f7905f0f24e9615 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Baker Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2024 08:31:17 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Update README.md --- README.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 88282f1..36f866b 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ The Elstob font (named for the eighteenth-century Anglo-Saxonist [Elizabeth Elstob](https://www.oxforddnb.com/view/10.1093/ref:odnb/9780198614128.001.0001/odnb-9780198614128-e-8761)) is based on the Double Pica commissioned by Bishop [John Fell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fell_(bishop)) in the seventeenth century.
