Help with #Latin #Palaeography please! It's a 1518 account for a Corpus Christi procession with a sum interspersed. What is the Latin contraction after Su[m]m[a] and before 'xxxviij s'? It seems to start 'pri', as used throughout on 'price', etc. The other loop is not part of the 'p' in pakthreid.

I can confirm that the 'steady' hands of seventeenth-century surgeons were no better at handwriting than any other doctor... Any ideas what the surname of 'Johwhn' might have been? Do you think he actually knew? #palaeography #surgeonsproject

An image of an extract of PROB 11/26/288 Will of John Spurstowe of Spurstowe, Cheshire 04 February 1540 - black sixteenth century writing on a white background. We are asking for help to decipher a sentence that we think says 'Also I geve and bequeth to my Cosyn Hughe Aldersaye of chester an Eyrye of Sivannys yn prest lande poole'.
Looking for a sense check, or indeed some #palaeography help for this Tudor will: I read this as 'Also I geve and bequeth to my Cosyn Hughe Aldersaye of chester an Eyrye of Sivannys yn prest lande poole'.
'Priestland' is a name - but can anyone help with 'Eyrye of Sivannys'? What could this be?

The Douce Apocalypse (21r); Oxford, Bodleian Library, Ms. Douce 180. The page features a beautifully illuminated miniature depicting scenes from the Book of Revelation, showing Christ enthroned within a mandorla (almond-shaped frame) with the Lamb of God below, accompanied by saints and angels with golden halos. The figures are rendered in vibrant colors including blues, reds, and golds, using Gothic architectural framing. Below the illumination is Latin text in Gothic script, with the manuscript notation "Ch.8 v.1" visible at the top. The Douce Apocalypse is one of the finest examples of English Gothic manuscript illumination from the mid-13th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Apocalypse_manuscripts#/media/File:The_Douce_Apocalypse_21r_-_Oxford_-_Bodleian_Library.jpg
