"Cambridge St John's College F.26","St Albans",0,1,1,"Thomson (1979: 156-57): 'Marchall [see Producers and Owners] and the other names associated with him in the legal formulae give themselves as of 'Todyngton' (attributed to both Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire) and Luton, and Robert Wulrey who took his BA at Cambridge by 1462 (BRUC, Wolrey) was of London diocese.  Given that an origin in this part of the country it seems likely that the grammatical exercises which are associated in the manuscript with St Nicholas are examples of the requirements for the baccalaureate at St Alban's, for which the candidate 'proverbium accipiat, et de eodem versus, litteras, rithmum componant (sic), et pubplice in scholis conferat ? et sex denarios, aut plus, prout facultates eorum se (habeant), optulerint, ad Dominicam Sancti Nicholai' (Riley, 1872-3, vol. iii, p. 312; the oscillation between singular and plural is in his text).  A John Marchall witnessed a deed connected with the abbey in 1455 (Riley, 1872-3, vol. I, p. 193) and this may be the man of that name mentioned in one of Thomas Marchall's legal notes.  Interestingly, one John Marchall was also schoolmaster at St Alban's c. 1500 (VCH Herts., vol ii, p. 56).  If the St Alban's hypothesis is accepted, 'Auncell' could be either the John (Riley, 1872-3, vol ii, p. 232, anno 1480) or the Thomas (ibid, vol ii, pp. 73, 143, 146, anno 1467, 1476) who became monks at St Alban's, since although the school was the town rather than  monastery school, almonry boys were sent there and would frequently have gone on to profess as monks (Orme 1977, p.245)'."

'The dialect of the English treatise [f.1] suggests that it was written by a native of Durham or nearby, and there is no direct evidence to suggest that the manuscript was ever anywhere else.  Kitchen (1907) suggested that the treatise may have been used in the early days of Durham College at Oxford, but while the text may have its origins in Oxford, the manuscript offers no evidence on this point.  Section A seems to be an example of the loose quaternions which were used at Durham, and which survive in the Cathedral Library, and it was probably bound up with the earlier book because both had 'meditaciones' as their subject matter. The list of contents entered on the flyleaf in the usual fifteenth-century hands does not mention the grammatical treatise, and since the folio containing it is now only pasted in place it may have been separate at the time, although it seems to belong with the Anselm meditations by virtue of the identity of hand and its size.

A 'John Myryfyld' was tonsured and became an acolite in Exeter diocese in 1435 (ibid, vol. iv, p. 156).  Despite the confusion over 'John Jones' which, as its connection with two distinct hands in the present manuscript suggests, was a common enough name, it seems very likely that the writer of most of the manuscript was a secondary or custor of Exeter Cathedral at the time when mag. John Boryngton was schoolmaster and rector of St Mary Major (from 1437 on) and either studied at the school himself or helped with the teaching.  The similarity between item (11) and Caius [Caius 417] (6) which is John Bonyngton's De regimine casuum reinforces the connection.

Bühler (1961: 287) finds evidence in the calendar text: ?Pointing directly at Norwich is the entry for September 24 ?Dedicacio ecclesie Norwicensis?.  Providing further evidence for the Norfolk origin of the calendar is the notation for the feast of Little St. William of Norwich.  This entry (?Passio sancti williami norwicensis?) also confirms the fact that, in the fifteenth century anyway, the feast of St William was celebrated on March 24; the Acta Sanctorum and other authorities now cite the following day?. iiv: Three names in the same hand: Thomas Cotfold, Johannes Rothe, Robertus Halle; also signature of Johannes Landes.

On f. 98r there is a reference to a ?Willimo Stathame cyttezssyn de cownte [?]? in a late fifteenth or early sixteenth-century hand. The jottings noted above suggest that the manuscript was in the possession of a certain ?Robert Rolonde hobsunt? (ff. 26v, 98v) quite soon after its production and was probably with the Mylner family of London in the sixteenth century. The references to the quarters [?vico?] of ?Wodstret? and ?Mylke Stret? that occur with the ?Mylner? names refer to areas of London known to, and inhabited by, many wealthy merchants and important persons in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, suggesting that the manuscript was owned by a fairly wealthy merchant family in this area. A probable London provenance for the manuscript is plausible, first because of the presence of the Chetham scribe, known to be working in the capital in the 1470s when this manuscript was undoubtedly produced; secondly, because of the close textual affiliations between this copy of the text, Arch. Selden B. 10, Ashmole 34, Douce 345 and Harvard 1054, which were all decorated by artists known to be working in the metropolis at this time."

'Hands 6, 7 and 8 record the use of a manuscript in a school, perhaps in Oxford, in the second quarter of the fifteenth century.  None of the names mentioned by these hands are known to me in the Oxford records, however, unless the Thomas Wodehowse who owned the manuscript is one of the two friars of c. 1450 mentioned in BRUO under that name.
The manuscript was next owned by mag. Thomas Jolyffe and passed into the circle of the regent M.A.s at Oxford.  It seems to have been in the hands of mag. Thomas Jolyffe before Chapelyn's death and bequest of the book to Jolyffe in 1461, since Jolyffe's inception (before 1453), Chapelyn himself, and perhaps mag. Robert Cowper (d. 1452) are mentioned in Jolyffe's entries.  Jolyffe mentions the following of his contemporaries who are found in BRUO (see also Emden, 1961) (BRUO form of names given):  Thomas Chapelyn, Thomas Phyppes, John Bedon, Robert Careswell, William Wag, Robert Mayne, Richard Bulkeleye, John Thamys, John Bradway, ?Robert Cowper, Thomas Balsall, ?Peter Paris.  Other names mentioned are: Alcaster, Richard Goret(?), Simon Dyer, Artur Oxpens, Saye, and W. Parchement maker.
The members of the first list above are mostly regent M.A.s, typically ordained to titles such as Oseney Abbey, looking after university chests, renting schools and halls, and moving after their regency to a country parish.  They have several links with the elementary teaching of grammar: Jolyffe's parents founded the grammar school at Stratford-upon-Avon, and Balsall was later warden of the college there (in 1466), having been one of the supervisors of the grammar schools for a year in Oxford (in 1442) and a fellow of Eton (in 1459).  Jolyffe himself co-rented Glasen Hall with mag. John Bekelys in 1455 and mag. Thomas Bekels in 1458 (Salter, 1929-36, vol. iii, p. 251), who may be connected with john Drury, schoolmaster at Beccles at that time (see CUL).  Richard Bulkeley is a well-known Oxford grammar teacher of the period, and John Thamys gave a caution on behalf of Hugh Fotte, another teacher of grammar.  A further link is provided by William Wag's bequest of Magdalen College Oxford MS lat. 98 to William Ive who was headmaster of Winchester College from 1444 to 1453."

Thomson 1979, pp. 314-5: ?The manuscript? is not so much a school exercise book, although it was used for that, as Walter Pollard's personal notebook, and its entries reflect his experiences and interests over a substantial period of time. (Dates in the manuscript range from the 1444/5 to 1483).  Letters seem to refer to a period when Walter was with a family outside Exeter, and in the later entries we see an increasing number of business and legal notes which suggest that his education after its initial stages was preparing him for the cloth trade and property management, and an understanding of the legal procedures they would involve. The rental of John Pollard, as well as showing the process of introducing Walter to his father's affairs, shows that the Pollards were considerable landowners in the Exeter and Plymouth area, and this is confirmed by mention of them (and other names found in the manuscript) in Exeter Tax Assessments (Rowe, 1977) and the presence of a Walter Pollard (probably not the writer of this manuscript, but a relative of his) in the list of magnates in the King's writ to the constables of Devon for swearing to keep the peace of 1434 (Alexander, 1940; John Crokker of Lyneham?."
