Christopher Wren’s epitaph in Saint Paul’s
which translates as:
Buried below is the founder of this church and city, Christopher Wren, who lived more than ninety years [and lived] not for himself but for the public good. Reader, if you seek a memorial, look about you.
Conditor I’m rendering as ‘founder’ to emphasis the honorific over the more technically appropriate to Wren definitions of ‘maker, builder, framer, establisher.’
