This is going to be a serious longshot here.
The book Stefano Guazzo and the English Renaissance 1575-1675 was written by John Leon Lievsay.
I have a hardcover edition that is signed but, may or may not be signed by the author.
The extremely neat printed inscription is in all caps and reads:
"FOR ERNEST L. MARCHAND,
WHO WILL FIND HIMSELF DULY
RECORDED IN THE INDEX AND
IN THE AFFECTION OF THE
AUTHOR
JACK ("Jack" is underlined)"
Now I know people named John who go by Jack, just a general statement, as I am not trying to declare this without any degree of certainty whatsoever. What I am trying to find out is if anyone else has any overlapping stories that may include or remotely connect to the tidbits within the inscription, including Ernest Marchand who I am hoping is the author I think him to be.
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
Respectfully I Remain,

I have five books from Lievsay's library with his signature in them. One of them even contains an inscription in Lievsay's hand:
'1/5/82 For Harry Satenstein, with the warm regards of John L Lievsay'
Do you have an image to post of your inscription? I can compare them.

Crypto-Willobie (Is Willobie a play on a Twilight Zone reference?)...
I have been focused on logging books with blinders on and not checking the answers posted here. My apologies.
I can snap a pic with my phone. How shall I get the signature pic posted so that you can see it?

No, Willobie comes from the Elizabethan poem Willobie His Avisa, which tells a convoluted, perhaps allegorical, story concerning... a courtship? Queen Elizabeth? etc? and contains one of the earliest notices of William Shakespeare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willobie_His_Avisa
So I am the 'hidden Willobie' -- whatever that means. My name is Will-I-am...

In regard to the Wiki entry, which reads as follows:
"Regarding works by Shakespeare
In the 1590s in London, there seemed to be enmity between authors who were from the University and those who were not, ..."
I was just reading the book, English Drama from Early Time to the Elizabethans by A.P. Rossiter and on page 148 there is a quote from Thomas Nashe that touches upon the quote from Wikipedia:
"... But thought he (Kyd) nor Shakespeare was a university man, it is right to insist that one of the main shaping force of the Elizabethan theater was the advent of what Nashe called the "Idiot art-masters' : the lightly associated group of Oxford and Cambridge men who turned, if only for a time, to professional play-writing for the popular companies who catered not for the Court alone, nor for the Inns of Court, but for the world : the little world of London, which was then the microcosm of England. But for that there could have been no Globe..."
