1 Joints or legs of veal. ^ Sides or loins of veal. 



3 The meaning of this word has not been ascertained. 



* Two sheep ; but the price seems to warrant the suspicion that some portions 

 or joints of a sheep are meant. 



* The word is uncertain, being ill written. It is probably intended for 'pisce' ; 

 and piscis dulcis aquae, means some fresh water, or river-fish. 



6 A gallon. ' Saffron. ^ Aniseeds pounded or ground. 



9 Mace. JO Cloves. 



" Sandalwood; the wood of the Pterocarpus Santalinus, a native of the East 

 Indies. It appears to have been used in colouring jellies, and other articles of 

 confectionary. 



*' Some kind of sweetmeat, generally perhaps some kind of jelly : but sometimes 

 consisting partly of jelly and partly of pastry, and formed into some 'suttletie' or 

 device. We meet with it in the bills of fare at various great festivities, forming 

 a portion of almost every course. See the accounts of the Installations of Abp. 

 Nevill and Abp. "Warham, Leland's Collect. Vol. VI. This viand was distinguished 

 by various appellations, as leche Lumbart, Cypres, Damaske, Florentine, Gramor, 

 comfort. See Prompt. Parvui, in verb. 



" A quarter of a gallon.
