Hi all

Also enjoying this thread.  Love the bible ;)

It would make one heck of a House Gift! Hope the bible makes the cut.

For those of you who have booked marked this thread - a liitle news.

ITV have been filming at my binder's for House Gifts with Lawrence LLewellyn Bowen, and the bible was centre stage. When I know when it is being aired (due in October) I will post (that is if the bible makes it into the final cut)

That is SO exciting Rog!  ;D Thanks for letting us know. Please also let us know when the programme airs. (I'm in AUstralia so will have to find some sneaky means to download it.  ;)

(I also like LLB.  ;D)

OK here goes - and divorce to follow.







Know the feeling about that type of thing Rog, As many others have said, fascinating. I have a complete transcript of a Star Chamber case from 1595, and the writing in that looks very similar to that on the vellum fragment. Perhaps if it is from around the turn of the 14th/15th century written script changed little over the following 200 years?

So was this whole thread a piece of viral marketing for "House Gifts with Lawrence LLewellyn Bowen", I feel so used, ....now I have to seriously consider any future membership as merely the mention on LLB is giving me nightmares.........

I have to agree with you Peggasus about LLB - maybe I can edit him out in photoshop.
