Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Common-Place Book of the Fifteenth Century: Containing a Religious Play and Poetry, Legal Forms, and Local Accounts The book is paper, of eighty-one leaves, eight inches long by five-and-a-half wide, with a much-worn parchment cover and flap, stitched to the quires with a piece of cowhide at the back. The contents are of three classes (1) poems, chiefly of a religious character, for which the volume was apparently originally intended, written in a neat hand of the second half of the fifteenth century, occupy about half the pages; (2) documents of territorial law entered for domestic use on the manor, partly in the same hand, partly in one somewhat later; and (3) a few private accounts on the blank leaves between.
