Scope and content

Minute and memoranda book, covering the period February 1490 - January 1496. Entries are broadly, but not strictly, in chronological order - for example entries for 1490 can also be found at the end of the volume. The volume has been conserved, and it is not clear whether the pages have retained their original order. The current foliation was added in the early 20th century, however at least one other foliation notation is present on the pages. Some pages may be missing.

Additional pages have been bound in to the volume which do not conform to the foliation system. It is possible these were previously kept loose in the volume or that they were attached to a page in the volume in some way.

Dates in this catalogue have been given in the new style. Many of the original entries use regnal dating to record the year.
