    Pleasant Good Friday outing, Cloughie?

    Try this for size....

    An E (spelt slightly differently in each case) unites Luxembourg, the Juilliard School and Honoré d'Urfé.

    Pray elucidate.

        Forgive me, yes. I'll amend the question.

            No... but would be intrigued to know your thinking. And indeed the meaning of Epitres, which I shall look up...

            Done so: as in the epistles...

                It's another of Honoré whatsit's works that you're after - it's not an E itself, but is a link to one of the Es

                        Not directly though the word you want has a linguistic link, and is the name of an instrumental ensemble... which will lead you to one of the Es

                        And mercs, no - no Henrys are involved in any way; nor is the word 'eclogue'.

                          is it to do with a particular alumnus or teacher at Juilliard ?
                          is Astree the relevant d'Urfe work ?
