Excerpt from A Consuetudinary of the Fourteenth Century for the Refectory of the House of S. Swithun in Winchester Officers of the Monastery of St. Swithun in Winchester, in connexion with the Refectory of that House. The document, which is written on two skins of fine white parchment, and is 3 feet 4% inches long and 1 I inches broad, is by no means easy to read. For it not only belongs to a time when the general handwriting was becoming much contracted, but it has also suffered much from careless usage. It probably lay about in the Reree tory, was taken up and thumbed by the Monks, curious to learn their own, and, still more, their neighbours' duties, until in some parts the parchment has grown brown, and the writing is here and there almost obliterated; nor has the difficulty of reading it been diminished by the carelessness of some good Brother, who Spilt his beer on the back of it.
