Excerpt: ...Couper, Talour, Brewstere, and Ledebeater (Leadbeater). The webster was a weaver; the walker, a fuller; the milner tended the oornmill; the tournour turned wooden vessels and platters for domestic use; and the leadbeater was not exactly a plumber, but one who beat lead into various kinds of vessels such as the leaden bowls formerly used by farmers' wives in which to place the milk to stand for creaming. The shalooner was a maker of a special kind of worsted coverlet or quilt, first introduced from Chalon-sur-Marne. In the Reeves' tale they read of the miller who In his owen chambre he made a bedde With shetes, and with chalons fair yspredde. The nicknames included the following: Bull, Fox, Wylde, Hare, Strong, Swyft, Charite, Thrift, and Scherwynd. The last named may have been thin and lank, suggesting that he could easily cut the wind. A discussion took place at the close of the paper, in the course of which, Mr. Mallalieu stated that his name was of French origin, the local founder being one who came over with other Huguenots and settled in Saddleworth, at a place afterwards known as Frenches.

Download or read book Medieval Manuscripts in Post Medieval England written by Andrew G. Watson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-07 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two themes uniting the essays in this collection are the provenance and history of medieval manuscripts during the Middle Ages, and the fates that befell them in England in the period after the invention of printing and the 16th-century dissolution of the religious houses and visitations of the universities. The section 'Libraries and collectors' includes papers on seven major English collectors of the 16th and 17th centuries, and the section 'Manuscripts' concerns the fates of five manuscripts or groups of manuscripts from England, Belgium and Italy. Of the other chapters one is concerned with the post-medieval history of the library of All Souls College, Oxford, and another with the provenance of hundreds of manuscripts in the Harleian collection in the British Library. For this volume Andrew Watson has provided extensive additional notes and indexes.

Download or read book A Blake Bibliography written by Gerald Eades Bentley and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1964-01-01 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Blake Bibliography was first published in 1964. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. The aim of this book is to list every reference to William Blake published between 1757 and 1863 and every criticism and edition of his works from the beginning to the present. Partly because of the deluge of scholarship in the last forty years, it includes perhaps twice as many titles as Sir Geoffrey Keynes's great bibliography of 1921. An introductory essay on the history of Blake scholarship puts the most significant works into perspective, indicates the best work that has been done, and points to some neglected areas. In addition, all the most important references and many of the less significant ones are briefly annotated as to subject and value. Because many of the works are difficult to locate, specimen copies of all works published before 1831 have been traced to specific libraries. Each of Blake's manuscripts is also traced to its present owner. Two areas which have received relatively novel attention are early references to Blake (before 1863) and important sale and exhibition catalogues of his works. In both areas there are significant number of important entries which have not been noticed before by Blake scholars. The section on Blake's engravings for commercial works receives especially detailed treatment. A few of the titles listed here have not been described previously in connection with Blake.
