Authorship of The Most Notable Antiquity (1655): Inigo Jones and Early Printed Books 1 RUMIKO HANDA HE Most Notable Antiquity of Great Britain, Vulgarly Called Stone- THeng, on Salisbury Plain (London, 1655; Stone-Heng hereafter) is the only publication associated with Inigo Jones (1573-1652), Surveyor for Prince Henry, King James I, and King Charles J.2 However, the precise nature ofJones's contribution to this work is much debated, his authorship being challenged. Jones's supposed lack of learning has led scholars to believe that Jones had little or no involvement in the work. However, new evidence suggests that Jones possessed far more extensive learning than has previously been credited to him.
