Biography
沈度。
明史卷二百八十六 列传第一百七十四：
沈度，字民则。弟粲，字民望。松江华亭人。兄弟皆善书，度以婉丽胜，粲以遒逸胜。度博涉经史，为文章绝去浮靡。洪武中，举文学，弗就。坐累谪云南，岷王具礼币聘之，数进谏，未几辞去。都督瞿能与偕入京师。成祖初即位，诏简能书者入翰林，给廪禄，度与吴县滕用亨、长乐陈登同与选。是时解缙、胡广、梁潜、王琏皆工书，度最为帝所赏，名出朝士右。日侍便殿，凡金版玉册，用之朝廷，藏秘府，颁属国，必命之书。遂由翰林典籍擢检讨，历修撰，迁侍讲学士。粲自翰林待诏迁中书舍人，擢侍读，进阶大理少卿。兄弟并赐织金衣，镂姓名于象简，泥之以金。赠父母如其官，驰传归，告于墓。
昆山夏昺者，字孟晹，与其弟昶以善书画闻，同官中书舍人，时号大小中书，而度、粲号大小学士。
度性敦实，谦以下人，严取与。有训导介其友求书，请识姓字于上。度沈思曰：“得非曩讦奏有司者耶？”遽却之。其友固请，终不肯书姓名。其在内廷备顾问，必以正对。粲笃于事兄，己有赐，辄归其兄。
