Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Visitations of Churches Belonging to St. Paul´s Cathedral: In 1297 and in 1458 This fact, together with some slight injuries which the manuscript has sustained, will account for a few small lacune in the transcript. (The volume measures about 11¿ inches by 9 inches, and the press mark is W.D. 15.) A few inventories of church goods taken in the sixth year of Edward the Sixth in certain of the parishes to which the early inventories refer are here added, partly to show that some very scanty remains of their ancient vestments were still to be discovered, here and there; partly to illustrate the method of procedure by which the Commissioners swept oft every article of value, condescending even to include fittings of brass and metal. These inventories are transcribed from the original returns in the Record Office. It is scarcely necessary to observe that inventories of church goods of so early a date as the close of the thirteenth, century are rare and valuable. An attempt has been made in the Introduction to give a fairly accurate view of the books, vestments, and furniture of these village churches at this particular period. Explanations have been added of any terms not quite familiar. In the Latin inventories all contracted words have been extended, save in the very few cases in which the text presented any obscurity, the original spelling being as far as possible retained. I have to acknowledge the patient skill and industry with which Miss E. Salisbury has transcribed the ancient manuscripts. In a very close and strict collation of the transcript with the originals, I have found reason to commend her accuracy.
