^{page 420 note 2} Wrongly given as Byronyll in the printed version of the Statutes (1853); Stat. of the Oxford Colleges, All Souls College, p. 67. It is also spelt with a c. Bykonyll does not appear in Miss Churchill's list of chancellors (Canterbury Administration, ii, 245).

^{page 420 note 3} The printed version erroneously has Joseph Brykhed (ibid.). Birkhede was admitted in 1465 as a brother quoad suffragia (i.e. to the confraternity): All Souls Coll. Archives, Miscellanea, no. 30.

^{page 422 note 1} This, like the sub-warden's copy, has a stamped black leather binding. The front fly-leaf in each is a page of a thirteenth-century manuscript. Both have been edited and annotated throughout by Warden Hovenden, who, owing perhaps to the difficulty of reading the early sixteenth-century hand, had a new volume of statutes and injunctions, 1443–1602, prepared in a fine humanistic script. This is bound in vellum, with the college arms stamped in gold on the back. These copies, which have the preamble but not the dating clause, are all derived from the warden's text, not from any other.

^{page 422 note 2} Sir Charles Mallet, A History of the Univ. of Oxford, i, 363, n. 2, calls the Rawlinson text ‘the complete manuscript’. Had he studied it, he would have seen that Wharton had to complete the fifteenth-century version of the statutes which it contains. Unfortunately he has accepted the uncritical text of the Commissioners of 1853, on which compare my comments below.

^{page 423 note 2} The British Museum has a sulphur cast of the same impression (Catalogue of Seals, i, no. 1229) thus described: ‘The Trinity in a canopied shrine with angels placed in the niches of tabernacle work at the sides. A narrow rim bears an illegible inscription in very small characters. Around are busts, full-face, of an archbishop and seventeen bishops, heads outwards, under carved canopies.’
