Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from St. Erkenwald (Bishop of London 675-693): An Alliterative Poem, Written About 1386, Narrating a Miracle Wrought by the Bishop in St. Paul´s Cathedral Other names are Thomas Masse (? Mosse), f. 64 b, and what looks like Neltho Norton, f. 75 b. Some jottings are of interest, as for example against the words ´How longe had he per layne´, 1.95, we find ´we redyn in a boke´ followed by a word or two illegible, and a reference in one of the margins of f. 75 b to ´Ryght reuerrynd Sodor´, before which last word is a mark resembling a Y. But transcending in interest all these annotations is a marginal entry running along the length of the page, looking like an attempt on the part of some one to write out a legal formula, the words being as follows: ´Nouerint vniuersi per presentes nos Eesebyt (? = Elsebyt) bothe of dunnam (wrongly contracted) in the comytye (= county) of Chester in the comythe´, followed out of line by what looks like ´edmund´. Now Dr. W. L. Ward, in his Catalogue, suggested that this entry, with the name of Elsebyt Bothe of Dunham Massey, might have reference to Elizabeth, daughter of George Booth, and wife of Richard Sutton. This would give us about 1566 as date for the entry. But Elizabeth was a common name in the great Booth family, and there was an earlier Elizabeth Booth. This matter, however, cannot be determined. For me, the point of striking value is that the book, in some way or other, was connected with a member of the famous Lancashire and Cheshire family of Booth, who were settled at Dunham Massey, and from whom came the great bishop and statesman, Laurence Booth, and his half-brothers, William, Archbishop of York, and John, Bishop of Exeter.
