York, Vol. 1: Baptisms, 1538 to 1593 The present volume contains all the entries on the first 220 leaves, being the baptisms from Dec., 1538, to Dec. 30, 1593. More than half the first leaf has been torn away, and a large piece from the top corner of the next two and a small piece from the top corner of the next three are also missing, with consequent loss of portions of entries. Some matter has also been lost through the cutting down of a number of leaves at the beginning of the register in binding. There are no entries between Feb. 4, 1563, and April 24, 1566, but the register seems to be intact at that date. Leaves bearing the entries from Jul. 5 to Aug. 7, 1585, and from Aug. 7 to Sep. 1593, have been torn out, but otherwise, except for occasional entries here and there, the baptisms for the period covered by-the register appear to be complete. In that part of Book I. Printed here, pages 9 5 - 102 are duplicates with pages 87 - 94, and pages 143 - 150 are duplicates with pages 151 - 158. In the present volume, pages 95 - 102 and 143 - 150 only are printed as they contain the greater number of entries, but any variations are noted within brackets. There are no entries on pages 320 - 1, 365 - 6 and 432 - 440. Amongst the baptisms are a few entries of burials which have been made in error. On pages 6, 23, 29, 32 and 35 of this volume are such entries, which have been struck out and appear in their proper place among the burials. There is another on page 87, not struck out but entered in its right place. On pages 26 and 66 are burials which have not been entered again, whilst on page 31 is an entry, which may be a burial, but which does not appear in that part of the register. This register has, on the whole, been very well kept. The earlier part is written in Latin and contractions are freely used throughout. The excessive number of flourishes and the unusually lengthy contraction marks render the writing, at times, somewhat difficult to decipher, but no pains have been spared to ensure an accurate transcript, formalmatter only being omitted and capitals substituted for small letters at the beginning of all proper names. The contraction marks, too, are reproduced or omitted in accordance with the original. The whole of the proofs have been compared with the Register.
