1 [From Add. Charter 17,255, B.M.] This inventory might perhaps have been
inserted in the year 1474, after the death of James Gloys, with whose name it begins.
(See No. 857.) The year in which it was drawn up is, however, by no means certain,
as the articles seem to have belonged to many different owners; and it may be con-
veniently referred to here at the end of our collection.2 A mattress. 3 A bed canopy.
4 Sophistry, i.e. dialectics.
1 Parti-coloured. 2 Ivory.
1 Struck through with the pen.
1 Grey woollen cloth.
