page 217 note † Sir Frederic Burton, Mr. Scharf, C.B., and Mr. A. W. Franks, incline to the view that this triptych is North German. I would like, however, to point out that if the picture of the Martyrdom of S. Erasmus by John Holynburne, which is in the possession of the Society, is English, and which is dated 1474, there seems to be a faint hope that this triptych is also English. Several architectural features in the landscape of each are singularly alike; the triptych is, however, of later date.

page 220 note † The three pieces of baudekyn cloth in the centre compartment of this triptych form part of the three magnificent dresses of Mary and Martha of Bethany, and of one of the Jews who “came to Martha and Mary to comfort them.” Each piece is different in pattern, and the rich silk woven with gold, which forms a magnificent brocade, is painted with considerable care.

page 223 note * Eleven is the symbol of all transgression, because this number is the first which oversteps that of the Ten Commandments. Thus the twenty-two portions of the 118 Psalm (119), which is said daily in the Roman breviary, are considered as a double trespass offering. The trespass offering of the poorest Israelite consisted of two pigeons.
page 236 note * The only bishop of Ardfert at all approaching the approximate date of this seal is thus recorded by Ware (Ireland, vol. ii. p. 522):—
“One Nicholas was bishop of Ardfert in the years 1420 and 1431. But I find no account either of the time of his consecration or of the time of his death.”
Another Nicholas (p. 521) was bishop, 1285–1287. He was succeeded by yet another Nicholas, 1288–1336.
Nicholas Kenan was bishop of Ardfert from 1588–1599.
