Thomas Linacre (or Lynaker) (c. 1460 -1524) was an English humanist scholar and physician (to Henry VIII), after whom Linacre College, Oxford and Linacre House The King´s School, Canterbury are named. He was one of the first Englishmen to study Greek in Italy, and brought back to his native country and his own university the lessons of the "New Learning". His teachers were some of the greatest scholars of the day. Among his pupils was one-Erasmus-whose name alone would suffice to preserve the memory of his instructor in Greek, and others of note in letters and politics, such as Sir Thomas More, Prince Arthur and Queen Mary I of England.
