#OTD (6th Aug.) 1571: a letter was read at the General Assembly in Stirling from John Knox, who was forced to flee the Marian Civil War, but too frail to travel to Stirling. His letter warned against the ‘merciless devourers of the patrimony of the Kirk.’ www.scottishrecordsociety.org.uk/membership/

Unbelievable

You worked very hard to get here and it was a pleasure reading your work! Congratulations Dr Hall!

Graffiti has become a real problem in Edinburgh. In the news today:

Most photographed street 'wrecked' by vandals, say shopkeepers

Thank you - that’s helpful!

Thank you! That’s what I’d expect for Middle Scots as well, but English palaeography is new territory for me! It’s from Kendal from 1587. Persouns?

Colleagues working on #earlymodern England - which is more likely in #palaeography - ‘un’ or ‘nn’? For example, should one expect ‘persouns’ or ‘personns’? #toomanyminims

#OTD (14th July 1408) in the CSS to C. VII & B. XIII of Avignon, 1378-1419, we find swapping of benefices due to a vacancy created when William de Lauder was elevated to the See of Glasgow, so long as he resigned the Canonry of Dunkeld and Prebendary of Russill. www.scottishrecordsociety.org.uk

Took me a minute, but finally figured it out - 'vj d toties quoties' from a rather fetching entry in the Kendall Shearmen records...

#palaeography help please! What is thus contraction mark? It looks like a capital I like on Item or It. Ibidem? It’s from 1551 from the Edinburgh Hammermen: ‘…be our soverane and proveist and baillies of I[ ] this burght’ Ibid would fit?

What a fantastic name!

Congrats Dr Hall - if slightly belated!

Yeah, some fantastic material! John Smith’s Hammermen excerpts barely scratches the surface, but the @scotrecsoc.bsky.social is publishing the full volume, edited by Jean Munro and Henry Steuart Fothringham. It will be great when it’s out - the detail on craft altars and processions is incredible.

Yes - the notary. It’s a conundrum! I’m sure it will pop up again, but do let me know if you find it. Thanks for looking at it.

Thank you all for the help and for re-posting!

Thanks Jo - it's one that I know I've come across before, and cannot for the life of me remember where. If you come across one, please give me a shout!

Good call - thank you!

No, I haven't - I have to admit I'm skeptical about AI, but perhaps I needing to be more open-minded!

Maybe? It seems odd to have that followed by 'yis burght' though? Take a look at the capital I on Item and It - am I wrong that it looks like a I with a flick?
