NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 233. 



connexion that makes obscurity ten times more 

 obscure. I have not the least idea whether " fills " 

 refers to " sense which," or to " voice ; " but 

 whichsoever it may belong to, it is evident that 

 the other nominative singular, as also the plural 

 " winds of spring," have no verbs, either expressed 

 or understood, to govern. A line or two may 

 have dropped out ; but all editions, as far as I am 

 aware, give the passage as above. In Act I., at 

 p. 195. line 7 of the edition of 1853, occurs a 

 curious error (I presume of the press) ; Mercury, 

 addressing the Furies, says : 



" Back to your towers of iron, 



And gnash beside the streams of fire, and wail 



Your foodless teeth." 



The having no food to put between one's teeth is 

 no doubt a very sufficient cause for wailing, but 

 •still I think the passage would run better if 

 " gnash " and " wail " exchanged places. How 

 do other editions give it ? J. S. Warden. 



Turkish Language. — Are there any easy dia- 

 logues in the Turkish language, but in the English 

 type, to be obtained; and where ? If there be not, 

 I think it would be desirable to publish some, with 

 names of common objects, &c. Hassan.

Illustrated Bible of 1527. — Can you inform me 

 whether there is any Bible published in 

 1527 at Lyons, with Hans Holbein's cuts 

 in it, and what engraver used this mono- 

 gram, as I have a Bible of that date, the 

 plates of which are almost fac- similes (some 

 of them) of Holbein's cuts, which were published 

 by Pickering ? The date of the Bible is 1527.

[Several editions of the Bible were printed in the 

 early part of the sixteenth century at Lyons, some of 

 them ornamented with cuts from designs similar to 

 those of Holbein. Two or three from the press of 

 Mareschall are in the British Museum. We believe 

 there were no Bibles printed at Lyons in which it was 

 acknowledged that the cuts were designed by Hol- 

 bein. The following notice of the monogram occurs 

 in Dictionnaire des Monogrammes, par F. Bruilliot, 

 parti, p. 421., No. 3208. : " Cette marque, dont on ne 

 connait pas la signification, se trouve sur une copie 

 d'une gravure en bois de Jean Springinklee, represen- 

 tant l'enfant Jesus couche a terre, entoure de trois 

 anges, et adore par St. Joseph et par la Ste. Vierge. 

 A droite au travers d'une fenetre pres d'une colonne 

 on remarque le bceuf et l'ane, et au milieu du fond 

 deux bergers dont l'un 6te son chapeau. La marque 

 est au bas a gauche pres de l'habit de St. Joseph.

Heraldic Query. — Can you help me towards 

 ascertaining the date and meaning of the follow- 

 ing device, which I find upon an old picture- 

 frame^ the portrait once inclosed in which has 

 long since been destroyed ? 



On a disk, of about six inches in diameter, are 

 engraved the royal arms of Great Britain, without 

 the harp, but with the Scots lion. You will at 

 once perceive the peculiarity of this bearing, the 

 harp and the lion having been added at the same 

 time by James I. The leopards occupy the first 

 quarter, the ground of which is semeed with 

 hearts ; the Scots lion the second, his feet resting 

 upon a quaint band, which seems to occupy the 

 place of the usual bordure. The three fleurs-de- 

 lis, very much broadened, and taking almost the 

 shape of crowns, occupy the places of the third 

 and fourth quarters. 



The only instance I can find of a single lion or 

 leopard appearing upon a coin without the harp, 

 is a coin (a half-florin) of Edward III., on the 

 obverse of which appears a leopard crowned, with 

 a banner of the arms of England fastened to his 

 neck, and flowing back upon his shoulder.

[Our correspondent has wasted his ingenuity : the 

 bearings are, first quarter, Denmark, Or, semee of 

 hearts gules, three lions passant guardant. Second 

 quarter, Norway, a lion crowned, or holding a Danish 

 battle-axe. In base Azure, three crowns, or two and 

 one, Sweden. Surmounted by the royal crown. See

Richard de Sancto Victorie. — In Anthony 

 Mundy's Sriccesse of the Times, under the head 

 " Scotland," he says, — 



" In this King Alexander's reign (1110) lived also 

 the holy man, Richard de Sancto Victorie, being a 

 Scot borne, but lyving the more part of his time at 

 Paris, in Fraunce, where he died, and lieth buried in 

 the Abbey of S. Victorie, he being a brother of the 

 same house." 



Can you furnish any particulars of my country- 

 man Richard ? Perthensis. 

 [Richard, Abbot of St. Victor, was born in the 

 reign of David I. After such education as Scotland 

 afforded, in polite literature, the sacred Scriptures, and 

 mathematics, the principal objects of his early studies, 

 he went over to Paris. Here^ the fame of Hugh, 

 Abbot of St. Victor, induced him to settle in that mo- 

 nastery, to pursue his theological studies. In 1164, 

 upon the death of Hugh, he was chosen prior, which 

 office he filled for nine years with great wisdom and 

 prudence. He died March 10, 1173, and was buried 

 in that monastery. He was the author of several 

 treatises on subjects of practical divinity, and on scrip- 

 ture criticism, particularly on the description of Solo- 

 mon's temple, Ezekiel's temple, and on the apparent 

 contradictions in the books of Kings and Chronicles. 

 They were all published at Paris in 1518 and 1540 in
