merely omitted to give a reference to the place from whence he really
derived them? BERUCHINO. _Pandects, Florentine Edition of_ (Vol. ii., p. 421.).--Your correspondent R.G. will find copies of the Florentine edition of the Pandects of 1553, both in the British Museum and in the Bodleian library at Oxford. It is described in the catalogues of both under the title of _Pandecta_. C.L.L. _Master John Shorne_ (Vol. ii., p. 387.).--Mr. Thoms, in his curious notes on this personage, has expressed much regret that fuller details relating to a representation of _Magister Johannes Schorn_ at Cawston, Norfolk, communicated to the Archæological Institute by the Rev. James Bulwer, had not been preserved in the _Archæological Journal_. I believe that the omission was solely in deference to Mr. Bulwer's intention of giving in another publication the results of his inquiries, and those persons who may desire detailed information regarding Master John will do well to peruse Mr. Bulwer's curious memoir in the _Norfolk Archæology_, vol. ii. p. 280., published March 1849, where representations of the figure at Cawston, and of another at Gateley, Norfolk, are given. There seems to be no evidence that Sir John, although in both instances pourtrayed with _nimbus_, had been actually canonized and it is deserving of notice that in no ancient evidence hitherto cited is he designated as a Saint, but merely as Master, or Sir John. I am surprised that Dr. Husenbeth, who is so intimately conversant with the examples of hagiotypic symbols existing in Norfolk, should not have given him even a supplementary place in his most useful manual of the _Emblems of Saints_, recently published. (Burns, 1850, 12mo.) |
