Leon Talmy (he sometimes published as Leyzer Talminovitski) (born 1893; murdered on August 12 1952): another of the thirteen in the “Yiddish Writers Plot” on Feb 13; his bio here - and searching for it, I have just discovered that I am not alone in wanting to make a memorial of this calumny: click here
Sharon Marie Tate (married name Polanski; and yes, that Polanski, Rajmund Roman the film director): born January 24, 1943; murdered by followers of the cult of Charles Manson on Aug 9 1969 – and he is definitely in deep red: the full and horrific tale here
Richard Tarlton (born 1530; died September 5 1588), broadcasting the newes out of purgatorie on March 15; he isn’t actually on the page for Dec 18, but should be - see my note to him on March 15; bio here and here

Hananiah ben Teradion: father of Beruriah on Jan 12; my page has a lengthy quote from Mishnah about him, but I wonder: is that perhaps why Beruriah gets quoted, as a way of honouring him by proxy; that, rather than wanting to include her?

Emperor Theodosius (born January 11 347; died January 17 395): can be found on Jerry Darring’s “Timeline of Christian Anti-Semitism“ on July 14; most of that list is on the GER page, but he has been retained here, less for his qualities than his historical significance: he was the man who imposed the Nicene Creed on European Christianity and thereby established Roman Catholicism as we still know it. But he is also here for the reason given on the timeline, under 388 CE

Arthur Tudor (born September 20 1486; died April 2 1502): Katharine of Aragon’s first husband, on Dec 16 (I wonder what name he would have used had he lived to take the throne)
Sir William Mark Tully: neither feline nor Cicero on Jan 3 (and I don’t usually acknowledge aristocratic titles, but in his case I am very happy to make an exception; had there been a Nobel Prize for what proper journalism should be rather than all that tabloid garbage, he would have been awarded that instead: click here)
George Turberville (born circa 1540; died circa 1597): best known for doing a Petrarch (publishing a book of poems addressed to the woman he loved), but he is on Jan 30 for including some of Bandello’s stories in his own “Tragical Tales”
