ERRATA FOR THE PASTONS AND THEIR ENGLAND
Add to List of Authorities:
Berkeley _Extracts_. Abstracts and extracts of Smyth's _Lives of the Berkeleys_. Fosbroke, T. D. London. 1821.
Libraries. Old English Libraries. Savage, E. A. London. 1911.
p. 9, l. 6. _For_ "in the cathedral" _read_ "at the door of the cathedral," and so on pp. 174, 184, and 221 _n._
p. 53, ll. 14 ff. I have somewhat exaggerated the amount of spinning and weaving done at home for purely domestic use in the fifteenth century. The industry in East Anglia was by then highly organised under capitalist clothiers, who employed workers to perform the various processes of the industry in their own homes, providing the raw materials and taking away the finished cloth. Spinning was thus essentially a bye industry as well as a purely domestic occupation. The Bury citizen was probably a clothier "putting out" work and following the quite common practice of having a number of webbers or websters under his eye in his own house. See _The Paycockes of Coggeshall_, Power, Eileen, pp. 45-8.
p. 113, ll. 11 ff. _For_ "_de Regimine Principium_ of Hoccleve" _read_ "_de Regimine Principum_ of Lydgate" and so on p. 261.
p. 154, l. 23. _For_ "Brabraham" _read_ "Babraham."

p. 240, n. 5. _For_ "Jessop, J. J." _read_ "Jessopp, A."
p. 280, Index, sub Cambridge, corporal punishment at. _For_ 88 _read_ 82.
p. 284, Index, sub Margaret of Anjou. _For_ "(Queen of Edward IV)" _read_ "(Queen of Henry VI)."
p. 286, Index, sub Paston, Sir John II. _For_ "make knight" _read_ "made knight."
p. 288, Index. _For_ "Straton Richard," _read_ "Stratton, Richard."
ERRATA FOR SOCIAL LIFE IN THE DAYS OF PIERS PLOWMAN
The main errata are on matters of coinage (pp. 69-70).
(_a_) There were no "copper" coins in England in the 14th (or 15th) centuries.
(_b_) The designs of "noble" and "groat" were not so exactly similar as the text might imply. The noble bears a king with sword and shield on a ship; the groat has a king's head crowned.
(_c_) "Groats" were first struck in the reign of Ed. III; it is therefore questionable whether they had become the "commonest" silver coins.
(_d_) "Pence" and "farthings" were of silver.
(_e_) There was no coined "shilling" until Henry VII's reign; until then, the "shilling" was only money of account.
p. 103. _For_ "signing" of charters _read_ "sealing." No signing was necessary until the Statute of Frauds. See B. II. 112, "this dede I assele."
p. 100. A reviewer in _The Manchester Guardian_ has expressed strong disagreement with these generalizations on the medieval woman; and we are loth to neglect such criticisms from a serious source, even when they cannot be called corrections of fact. Both author and editor, on careful reconsideration, are still convinced that these words represent the actual documentary evidence; but their epigrammatic conciseness, necessitated by the whole plan of the book, may well have misled some readers. They would prefer now, therefore, to write thus:
"There was a very general tendency, _in ecclesiastical circles_, to a painful depreciation of women. Marriage (in spite of frequent protests that no such blame was intended) was often regarded by the clergy as a practical confession of failure, since the titles of 'virgin' and 'martyr' were most desirable. It will be remembered that Chaucer is even more explicit than Langland on the subject of clerical anti-feminism; and if Chaucer, like Dante, gives us fine types of women, these owe far more to the troubadour tradition than to any ecclesiastical source."
FOOTNOTES:
[1] Based on Professor Savine's analysis of the returns in the _Valor Ecclesiasticus_ (Oxford Studies in Social and Legal History), I, 269-288.
[2] I have based this estimate partly on a list compiled by M. E. C. Walcott, _English Minsters_, vol. II ("The English Student's Monasticon"), partly on one compiled by Miss H. T. Jacka in an unpublished thesis on _The Dissolution of the English Nunneries_; the figures, if not always exactly correct, are approximately correct as far as the classification into groups, according to size, is concerned. It must be remembered, however, that there were more nuns at the beginning than at the end of the period 1270-1536; the convents tended to diminish in size, especially those which were poor and small to begin with.
[3] These are discussed in Liveing, _Records of Romsey Abbey_, pp. 112 _sqq._

[7] Well-known names occur, for instance, among the prioresses of the poor convents of Ivinghoe, Ankerwyke and Little Marlow in Bucks. _V.C.H. Bucks_, I, p. 355.
[8] Lysons, _Magna Britannia_, V, p. 113. Compare the remark of a nun of Wenningsen, near Hanover, who considered herself insulted when the great reformer Busch addressed her not as "Klosterfrau" but as "Sister." "You are not my brother, wherefore then call me sister? My brother is clad in steel and you in a linen frock" (1455). Quoted in Coulton, _Medieval Garner_, p. 653.
