^{page 472 note e} Baculus Stultorum:

An important article on the Episcopus Stultorum will be found in Ducange (Hcnschel's edition) under the word Kalendae. “Festum Hypodiaconorum, quod vocamus Stultorum, a quibusdam perficitur in Circumcisione, a quibusdam vero in Epiphania vel in ejus octavis. Fiunt autem quatuor tripudia post Nativitatem Domini in Ecclesia, Levitarum scilicet, Sacerdotum, Puerorum, id est, minorum aetate et ordine, et Hypodiaconorum, qui ordo incertus est.” For centuries the dis-reputable rites of the feast, in which the holiest omces and orders were made matters of the lightest jesting, found favour with all sorts and conditions of men; and it was not abolished until after long and strenuous efforts had been made for its suppression.

In the Abbé Migne's Bictionnaire des Mysteres (Fête des Fous), an account is given of the establishment of a sort of Féte des Fous at St. Sophia by “Théophylacte fils de léempereur, nomme patriarche de Sainte-Sophie à peine encore âgé de seize ans:—

“C'est à ce patriarche, dit Cédrénus, que remonte l'usage qui a duré jusqu'à nos jours, de substituer dans les plus grandes fêtes et les plus solennelles, consacrées soit à Dieu, soit aux saints, l'outrage de chansons indécentes, de rires et de cris insensés, aux hymnes sacrées que nous devon offrir à Dieu pour notre salut. Ce pontife rassemblant une troupe de debauches et mettant Buthymius à leur tête, fit de cet homme le gardien du temple, et institua, par son enterprise, des danses diaboliques, des cris infernaux et des chansons ramassées dans les carrefours.”

Some remains of this rite lingered till 1606 in the diocese of Viviers, where there was actually a law-suit between the Fools and their Bishop, because the latter declined to carry out the fete. The official before whom the cause was heard decided in favour of the Fools.

Ducange does not hesitate to say that the feast was called Festum Hypodiaconorum, not because sub-deacons only took part in it, but rather that this was a jocular designation. “Soudiacres, id est, ad literam, saturi Diaconi, quasi Diacres saouls.”

^{page 473 note a} The precentor's staff. A fine example of such a staff of the fourteenth century is figured in Dr. Lee's Glossary of Liturgical and Ecclesiastical Terms.

Dr. Rock, Textile Fabrics, derives the word from éΖ, six, and μίτοι, threads; the number of the strings in the warp of the texture” Hence to say of any silken tissue, that it was examitum or samit, meant that it was six-threaded, and therefore costly and splendid.”

Dr. Rock, Textile Fabrics, 40.

Romance of King Alexander. Planché, Dictionary.

Dr. Rock, Textile Fabrics, p. 40, derives Baudekin from Baldak or Bagdad, which “held for no short length of time the lead all over Asia in weaving fine silks, and, in special, golden stuffs.”

Fuller, History of the University of Cambridge, edit. 1840, p. 61. Gray, who was himself a Pembroke man, has helped to give currency to the fable of Aymer de Valence's premature death, designating the foundress of the college as

“sad Chatillon, on her bridal morn,

That wept her bleeding love.”

But see Mullinger, University of Cambridge, 276 (text and note). “After her marriage she was never known by any other name than that of St. Paul.”

^{page 519 note g} Argentum fractum, see a valuable note by Archdeacon Hale in Milman's Annals, second edition, 518. The pound and solidus were moneys of account, “the only coin being the penny, which broken supplied the half penny and the quadrans or farthing. The frequent mention of argentum fractum, not carried to account as pence or half pence, would lead to the supposition that very small fragments of the penny were frequently amongst the offerings.” I have one or two specimens of argentum fractum found in London.
