Latin Translation - Aquilon vs Borealis for North

[sunnylew]

I hope somebody can help me with a conundrum.

I've begun translating Manor Court Records in Latin while using later English transactions as crib notes, and have been slowly working my way in reverse.

eg A property sold in 1740 in English refers to a sale in 1710 which is recorded in Latin, but I've used the English description in 1740 as a crib for the description in the 1710 Latin record.

I've noticed that in one particular transaction, Borealis is used for North (while describing parts of a group of pieces of Land), while elsewhere Aquilon is used for North (while describing a separate group of pieces of Land).

In the later English version, both are transcribed as being "North" but I've come across references that "Aquilon" may actually mean North East.

Has a subtlety in the earlier description been perhaps missed, or should I be transcribing both as North?

In the context of locating land, both should be transcribed as 'north'. They just have different derivations -- aquilo from Latin and boreas from Greek.

Thanks Bookbox.

That makes things a lot easier
