page 147 note a This and the following document are on long strips of parchment (torn and in bad condition) attached at one end to the edge of the front cover of the book.
page 148 note b The MS. has mense.
page 149 note a This Commission of 15 July, 1392, to Kingston, as treasurer “for war” a second time, is missing (compare the similar document given to him for the first expedition, p. 1, and see p. 3). We have here instead his acknowledgment for a sum supplied by Derbv's father towards the present journeys ; cf. fo. 1 with the second item in these receipts.
page 149 note b The full form of this contracted phrase is “Idem se onerat recepisse de,” &c See, for example, the accounts of Robt de Whitteby, receiver-general to John of Gaunt, for 15 and 16 Richard II., Duchy of Lancaster Records, Class 28, Bundle 3, No. 2, fo. 1.
page 149 note c See before p. 143.
page 150 note a The MS. has Jeresomital' bjth here and in margin.
page 151 note a The contraction in the MS. is Rote, for recepte, receipt, in the singular, which was the form in old accounts. Cf. the phrases “receipt of Exchequer,” “receipt of custom” (Luke, v, 27). Recepta before p. 3, and above p. 149, is nominative singular.
page 152 note a Salt, both coarse and white, here seems to be measured by the quarter, in the same way as wheat. See the following items. It should be noted, however, that the same contractions stand for quart and quarter.
page 154 note a This item was originally written “ad iiij s, xxiiij s,” which was correct; it was afterwards incorrectly amended, as above.
page 154 note b i.e. turnsole, or sunflower seed.
page 154 note c These words are p'is and op'is in the MS.
page 155 note a This word sagitta appears to mean a stave.
page 157 note a The MS. has batell.
page 158 note a Empt' is also found after “canevas” in this phrase, apparently a slip of the pen.
page 158 note b This seems to mean a wooden peek measure.
page 161 note a MS. has diem.
page 162 note a The MS. has mituac'.
b In the MS. for these first three folios Dansk alone stands as title. From 9 v° and onwards “In Partibus Prucie” is written at the head of every folio, evidently as a secord thought as the items show it to be the more correc
page 163 note a This seems to mean four bushels one peck of oats.
page 165 note a MS. has per.
page 172 note a i.e. Junker Johan.
page 173 note a This seems to refer to the items in 1. 6 above, and 1. 31, p. 168.
page 176 note a Vidz, empty; perhaps an error for yoidez.
page 177 note a MS. capell', it might be either capella or capdlano. In 1. 6, p. 178, the same contracted word evidently means capella.
page 178 note a The MS. word is carr', in the second case (p. 179, 1. 5) carr' eq.
page 180 note a The MS. has per.
page 181 note a i.e. of the treasurer himself.
page 181 note b The contracted word in the MS. is written famul' here and in a few other cases in Part II., which I render familia or familie, following the use of the word (spelt in the usual manner) in Part I., and required in this instance by the words “fuit hospicata” which are written in full.
page 182 note a i.e. William Pomfreit.
page 183 note a About a third of the page is left blank here, perhaps with the intention of inserting some forgotten items.
page 183 note b This word generally appears as Chaunclr' in the MS.
a The Mark here comprises that part of Brandenburg called the Nenmark.
page 188 note a In the MS these three words are on the preceding leaf, the items running on from “Frankforth” to “in partibus Boemie,” as the same mouey was in use throughout. This latter title continues to the end of fo. 16 ; see p. 134.
page 194 note a In the margin is the following explanation of the English value of the Bohemian money up to this page, “Vnde, xliiij gr. faciunt j noble vsque hue, tamen, et j gros. valot j d. ob. qr. iiijd pars qr.”
a After this the running title of four folios is “In Ostricia” only.
page 196 note a Summa pagine, m1 ccclx gr. ij d. Wene. At the bottom of the margin is this note: xxj grossi iiij d. faciunt j Florennm, et ij Floreni iiij grossi facinnt j noble.
page 199 note a Sranma pagine, iiijxxix flor. iiij d. Wene. On the lower margin is written the following : xxj grossi iiij denarii faciunt j florennm, et ij floreni iiij grossi faciunt j noble.
page 201 note a Summa pagine, iiijxxxviij flor. v gros. j d. The note as to the values of the Austrian money at the end of fo. 17 (p. 199) is repeated here and on the two following pages.
page 203 note a Snmma pagine, viij noble st.; Item in moneta boemici, cxlv flor. ix gr. v d. ob. Wene. Item in alia moneta, v gnldynes hungarici.
page 204 note a In the margin of the MS. opposite these two payments to the steward and the treasurer is the note “quia non receperunt vadia.” The total given at the bottom of the leaf is not correct, being 6d. too much.
page 206 note a Summa pagine, cxxix ducati di. lxij s. venetiarum:—vnde iiij li. v s. faciunt j ducatum, ct computatur ibidem per ducatos simpliciter.
page 208 note a i.e. trahere.
page 208 note b Summa pagine, cclix due. di. xxvij s. ven. At the bottom of the margin is this note : iiij li. v s. faciunt j ducatum, et computatur per ducatos et non vltra.
page 210 note a In this and the two following items eisdem is written, but the singular eidem appears to be meant on comparison with previous items, and noticing the sums paid. Harpeden was evidently the officer responsible for these payments.
page 211 note a Summa pagine, vt extra. That is, the Bum of this folio is included with the few lines over the leaf which conclude the expenses incurred in Friuli.

page 217 note a Compared with the price of candles in other items, this figure seems to be a mistake. Five shillings a pound is the usual price paid.

page 221 note b This word does not occur among the descriptions of sugar in Hudson Turner nor in Douët d'Arcq.
page 222 note a The contracted word is pistua, which might stand for pistura if there could be such a word, but the verb pistrinare appears to require pistrinura. The word is not found in Ducange.
b The heading Eodes continues for the three pages following.
page 224 note a See note above, p. 222.
page 224 note c This is the Italian scaleo, meaning head-cook or steward. The word is another form of the Mid-High-German schalc and A.S. scealc, a servant or valet.

a The u in this word looks like m in the MS. and in the marginal repetition the heading the word is Thren; but there can be no doubt that Treviso, frequently mentioned, where many purchases were made during April and May, is the place intended. Treyiso is 16 miles from Venice.
page 243 note a Summa pagine, Cxlvij due. di. ij gr. ij d. ven.; vnde xiiij grossi faciunt j ducatum. Item iiij li. xij d. faciunt j ducatum ; noble computata vt supra. Besides this latter note at the foot, a note of the value of the ducat in grossi stands at the top of each of these four pages.

page 270 note a There is an interlineation here, partly illegible, “quo … cum ministral',” but owing to corrections it is impossible to say what Brakill's wages were per diem.
