the last century, with a stamp on the cover, con- 
sisting of J. A., in a cursive character, within a 
small circle. Was this the book-stamp of Joseph 
Addison ? 
3. Viridis Vallis.— Where was the monastery 
of “ Viridis Vallis,’ and what is its vernacular 
name ? 
4. Cosmopoli. — Has Cosmopoli been ever appro- 
priated to any known locality? Archdeacon 
Cotton mentions it among the pseudonymes in his 
Typographical Gazetteer. The work whose real 
locality I wish to ascertain is, Sandit Paradox. iv. 
Evang. 1670. 1 vol. 8vo. 
5. Seriopoli.—The same information is wanting 
respecting “ Seriopoli; apud Entrapelios Impensis 
Catonis Uticensis:” which occurs in the title-page 
of “Seria de Jocis,” one of the tracts connected 
with the Bollandist controversy. 
6. Early Edition of the Vulgate. — Where is 
there any critical notice of a very beautiful edi- 
tion of the Vulgate, small 4to., entitled “Sacra 
Biblia, cum studiis ac diligentia emendata:” in 
the colophon, ‘“ Venetiis, apud Jolitos, 1588” ? 
The preface is by “ Johannes Jolitus de Fer- 
rariis.” The book is full of curious wood-cuts. 
This is not the book mentioned in Masch’s Le 
Long (part ii. p. 229.), though that was also 
printed by the Gioliti in 1588; as the title of the 
latter book is “ Biblia ad vetustissima Exemplaria 
castigata,” and the preface is by Hentenius. 
7. Identity of Anonymous Annotators.—Can any 
of the correspondents of “* Norges AND Queries” 
point out to a literary backwoodsman, like myself, 
any royal road towards assigning to the proper 
authors the handwriting of anonymous annotations 
in fly-leaves and margins? Ihave many of these, 
which I should be glad to ascertain. 
8. Complutensian Polyglot. — In what review or 
periodical did there appear, some time ago, a 
not ce of the supposed discovery (or of conjectures 
as to the existence) of the MSS. from which the 
* Complutensian Polyglot” was compiled, involv- 
ing, of course, the repudiation of the common 
story of the rocket-maker of Alcala? Has any 
further light been thrown on this subject ? 
9. Blunder in Malone's Shakspeare.— Has any 
notice been taken of the following odd blunder in 
Malone’s Shakspeare, Dublin ed. 1794 ? 
In yol. ii. p. 1388. the editor, speaking of John 
Shakspeare’s will (the father of William), says, | 
“This extraordinary will consisted of fourteen 
articles, but the first leaf being unluchily wanting, I 
am unable to ascertain either its date, or the par- 
ticular oveasion on which it was written.” He 
then gives a copy of the will, beginning at the 
third article, in the middle of a sentence, thus: 
*.. , at least spiritually.” Now, in the first vol. 
B 154. is a document, professing to be William 
hakspeare’s will. But of this the first three 
NOTES AND QUERIES. 
| paragraphs belong to Jobn Shakspeare’s will, his 
name being mentioned in each; and the third 
concludes with the words “at least spiritually.” 
The fourth paragraph, to the end, belongs to 
William Shakspeare’s will, as given in Johnson 
and Stevens’s editions. This isa palpable instance 
of editorial carelessness: Mr. Malone had mixed 
the two documents, mislaid the first portion of the 
| transcript of William Shakspeare’s will, and then 
neglected to examine the postscript, or he must 
have found out his mistake. 
Was this error acknowledged or corrected in 
any subsequent edition ? Joun JEBB,

Mowbray Coheirs. — Collins, in his Peerage (ed. 
Brydges, 1812), says, at p.18., speaking of Thomas 
Duke of Norfolk : — 
“In 15 Henry VII. he made partition with Maurice, 
surviving brother of William Marquiss of Berkeley 
(who died issueless), of the lands that came to them by 
inheritance, by right of their descent, from the coheirs 
of Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk ;” 
and quotes, as his authority, Commun. de T. 
Pasch. 15 Henry VIL., Rot. 1. 
The roll of the whole year referred to has been 
examined, without finding any notice of the sub- 
ject. 
: Should any of your readers have met with the 
statement elsewhere, it may happen that there is 
some error in Collins’s reference to his authority ; 
and a clue to the right roll, or any other notice of 
the division of this great inheritance, will be ac- 
ceptable. G. 
Draytone and Yong.— The following note was 
found by me among the Exchequer Records, on 
their sale and dispersion, a few years ago : — 
“T praye you fellowe Draytone do so mvche for re 
as to Resave all svehe monye as is dewe to me from 
| the handes of Ser Vincente Skyner Knyghte or else 
wheare from thos offysers of the excheger And this 
shalbe yovr discharge. Written the laste daye of 
Janvarye 1607. “ Henry Yong.” 
Can any of your subscribers inform me who the 
writer was? Mr. Payne Collier states that there 
was an interlude-maker of the name of Henry 
Yong in the reign of Henry VIII. Is it likely 
that the note was addressed to Michael Drayton ?

The Fraternity of Christian Doctrine. —I think 
I see some names among your correspondents who 
might inform me where [ shall find the fullest 
account of the Fraternity of Christian Doctrine, 
established by St.Charles Borromeo in the diocese 
of Milan. Jam acquainted with the regulations 
for their establishment in Acta. Concil. Medioi., 
and with the incidental notices of them which
