Poser 276 – Rothesay Town Council Minutes, 1716 |
|
This week's poser is the second and last part of an extract from the Rothesay Town Council Minutes, 1716 (Argyll and Bute Council Archives, BR1/2). The image and transcription are published with kind permission of Argyll and Bute Council Archives. The handwriting is a good example for a hand of the beginning of 18th century. The clerk was consistent in the way he formed his letters. He had a tendency to use flourishes for his capital letters. Watch out for the capital letter H and the letter thorn. ![]() Download a printable version of this week's poser, PDF, 190KB, new window This week's question: who were the underwritten witnesses?
