Biographies
The overview above is drawn from the following published accounts. Read them in the original:
John Dilworth+
SPICER, John Worked circa. 1650-1680 London UK. Lütgendorff lists him as a lute and viol maker. No work presently known. John Spicer / in Russel Street 1667 / His Half Penny
Cecie Stainer+
It has been inferred that he was a maker of lutes and viols in London, from a token which is inscribed ” John Spicer In Crown Court, in Russell Street, 1667—His Half-Peny,” with the device of a lute.
William Meredith Morris+
That he was a maker of stringed instruments is a mere conjecture.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Wenig hervorragender Lauten- und Violenmacher, der Russell Street, Crown Court wohnte, und von dem bisher nur eine Arbeit bekannt geworden ist. Vielleicht ein in London eingewanderter Holländer (Spyker); noch um 1824 soll ein William Spicer gelebt haben, von dem man Violoncelli kennt.
