Ansley Anthony, [134], [183], [193], [283].
All the entries in which this person's name occurs relate to the expences of playing at tennis, hence it may be inferred that he was the keeper of the ground; or perhaps the marker.
Anthony Anthony, [161], [179].
A person of these names was Master of the Ordnance to Henry the Eighth, and made the celebrated drawing of the "Henry Grace de Dieu."—See a note to Archæologia, vol. vi.
Anthony Mark, [109], [157], [165].
Apparently a Venetian merchant.
Anthony a Sackbut, [174].
Anticks, for two brought to the king, [226].
Two buffoons, or two grotesque figures, might be meant by this entry, for Shakspeare seems to use the word in both senses, "We can contain ourselves were he the veriest antick in the world."—Induction, Taming the Shrew. "Indeed three such antics do not amount to a man."—Hen. V. act iii. sc. 2. Dr. Meyrick, however, with more probability, suggests that it referred to "two antiques," the taste "for articles of that description being then at its height in England, as it had been previously in Italy, on the revival of the arts." In old inventories, "one antick head piece," "one antick armour," often occur. Milton also, says,
"Antick pillars massy proof."
