Help with Latin Please

The snippet was indeed quite a find!

I have this particular book, and regarding its veracity I can only say that when checking references within it I found seven straight transcription errors from printed books within the first five pages.

I will check this page, but most likely from experience he is quoting from the Gentleman's Magazine itself.

As I said, I doubt this is even my direct line, but I may just ask someone on the Norfolk boards to look up Merton's register and see what they make of it.

Edit:

I just checked the Book from Google Snippets (Notes and Extracts etc of Bukenham/Bokenham by Henry Maudsley).

This is from a letter sent to him, so is probably an entirely different transcription, as opposed to an erroneous copy from the Gentleman's Magazine.

Hi Sunnylew,

The plot thickens!

Please post on here if you do decide to post on the Norfolk board and get a reply. I am most intrigued to know what the original actually says.

Regards

Roger
