Don't have any books handy, but Beatrice puns on, what "Snr. Mountano,"
in *Much Ado*. Are the two connected? Roy

Subject: Mountanto/Montano
In *Much Ado About Nothing*, at 1.1.25, Beatrice refers to Benedick
as "Signior Mountanto", yes. I'm not sure how to connect this to
the other incidents, but perhaps someone has an idea. (Also the *Othello*
reference is a loose end right now).
I've been refining my idea a bit, and now realize that I didn't quite
make the case as convincing as I could have. Suppose Q1 Hamlet reports
Reynaldo's name as "Montano" as a reflection of the source play, the
*Ur-Hamlet*, rather than a reflection of a change made in performance
to avoid offense. In that case, Shakespeare could be seen avoiding
"Montano" in the source material for *Hamlet* and "Montanus" in
the source material for *As You Like It* (plays written consecutively
or simultaneously by most chronologies!). Is this getting more
interesting? More convincing, anyway?
