Quote:

So Fernando was writing in modern English? Sorry, I cannot view that as proof that jury was used in that fashion in 1504. I will bet you a buck that the quote from Fernando in the original Spanish or Portuguese or whatever he wrote in does not include the word jury. And I'll give you ten to one odds.



And you'd be right, TEd. The question here, Mr Milum, would be the date of the translation. For the translator didn't pluck "jury" out of thin air.
