Confirmation of Date in Latin

[rkraeuatzd]

Hi everyone,

I think the date in the attachment says the 10th with a lead-in stroke, right?

Grateful if anyone can confirm or correct.

I think it is: ix^no = nono = ninth.

Thanks Bookbox. And now I understand that I have to pay closer attention to the superscript letters. Good to know!

out of curiosity: What does the last line say?
In the 32nd year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth?

[Bookbox]

ix^no Novembris A(nn)o
R(egni) R(egi)ne Elizabeth(e) &c xxxij^do

= 9 November 1590

[Zefiro]

ix^no Novembris A(nn)o
R(egni) R(egi)ne Elizabeth(e) &c xxxij^do

= 9 November 1590

Thanks, and what's the meaning of &c

[Bookbox]

ix^no Novembris A(nn)o
R(egni) R(egi)ne Elizabeth(e) &c xxxij^do

= 9 November 1590

Thanks, and what's the meaning of &c

&c = etc. In this context it stands for

... dei gratia anglie francie et hibernie fidei defensoris ...

... by the grace of god [queen] of England, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith ...

Thanks Bookbox.
