Randall, 1986.</ref> and underlined passages in Oxford's personal bible, which Oxfordians believe correspond to quotations in Shakespeare's plays.<ref>Stritmatter, Roger A.[http://www.shakespearefellowship.org/virtualclassroom/bibledissabsetc.htm"The Marginalia of Edward de Vere's Geneva Bible: Providential Discovery, Literary Reasoning, and Historical Consequence"] (PhD diss., University of Massachusetts at Amherst, 2001).
