Notes area

Note

The statutes of 1530 directed that muniments [archives] were to be kept in the upper chamber of the tower [in the Great Gate]. This chamber, known as the Treasury, had been assigned to that purpose from the earliest times. See the 'Our Chronicle' in the Eagle for Easter Term 1888 for a description of the room.

Note

The commentary on the psalms is that on psalm 84(5) and those preceding (& succeeding). The medical text is concerned with the 'gradus' [degrees] of the humours.
