18. INDENTURE OF THE DELIVERY OF VARIOUS ARTICLES AND BOOKS BE|LONGING TO QUEEN'S COLLEGE, OX|FORD 13 MAY, 1378

On 6 April, 1378, a commission was issued by letters patent to Sir Thomas de la Mare, Knight, Edmund de Stonore, and Reynold de Sheffield directing them to command Richard de Thorpe, clerk, William Frank, and William Middelworth, clerk, to restore to Master Thomas de Carlol, provost of the college called Quenehalle, the college seal, writings, muniments, keys, books, and goods, which they had carried away, and detained, in spite of a mandate to bring them into Chancery; in default they were to be arrested and brought before the Council at Westminster (Cal. Pat. Rolls, Richd. II, i, 204). With the possible exception of Queen's College MS. 348 (sec. xii), "Ques|tiones in librum Genesin auctore Albino," none of the manuscripts are now at Queen's College. The "Polucranica Cestrenc." is a copy of the Poly|chronicon of Ranulph Higden. William Durant was Warden of Merton College. From Ancient Deeds, C. 1782.
