Book Description
Excerpt from The Verses Formerly Inscribed on Twelve Windows in the Choir of Canterbury Cathedral: Reprinted, From the Manuscript, With Introduction and Notes It is a roll numbered C 24-6 in the Chapter archives. It is about 9% inches wide and 8 feet 10 inches long, and consists of three Skins now fastened together with pins (which seem to be quite a hundred years old). The writing is very large and clear, and belongs, I think, to the early part of the fourteenth century. Unless I am much mistaken, the hand might very well be the same as that of the great Inventory of Prior Henry of Eastry (cotton ms. Galba, E. The titles, and some other parts of the text (but not the verses) are either rubricated, or underlined with red. This I shall express by the use of leaded and italic types. There is no general heading: the writing begins so near the top of the roll that it is quite possible that an original title has been cut off. Indeed, in the transcript referred to there is a title which I expect was originally inscribed at the top of our roll. It is: Fenestrae in superiori parte ecclesiae Christi Cant. Incipientes a parte septentrionali. The largeness of the writing suggests to me the conjecture that the roll may have been hung up in the Church itself for the perusal of visitors, just as tables containing lists of relics, Short histories of the foundation, and particulars about distinguished persons buried there, were hung up in various churches. A specimen of such a table, from Glastonbury Abbey, is, I believe, now at Naworth. These documents were generally written upon parchment and affixed to boards.
