CLUB NOTES AND DISCUSSIONS. 189 



" . . . de peccatis vere contritis et confessis, qui 

 dictam Ecclesiam rostram Ebor. devote visitaverint, ut 

 prefertur, vel ad ipsius chori fabricam de bonis sibi a Deo 

 collatis, grata contulerint subsidia caritatis, vel ad id 

 faciendum, verbo vel opere, alios induxerint, XL dies 

 indulgencm concedimus, per presentes " 



C. A.D. 1368. 



In the title, or declaration, the word dies occurs usually in the 

 genitive case ; and the reason for granting an indulgence is 

 often assigned, thus : 



" Indulgentia, XL dierum, pro ecclesia conventuali 

 S. Leonardi, ruinosa, &c." A.D. 14.53. 



" Indulgentia, XL dierum, ad fabricam capellcz S. 

 dementis et B. M. Magd. noviter edificata" A.D. 1488. 



" Indulgentia pro construction et reparatione capellce 

 de Thorn." A.D. 1320. 



" Indulgentia, XL dierum, pro capellcz in honore 

 B. M. V." A.D. 1454. 



" Indulgentia, XL dierum, pro reparatione capellae 

 B. M., sive emendation* calcitorum, &c." A.D. 1480. 



"... dictam Ecclesiam emendare, reaedificare vel 

 ampliare." A.D. 1225. 



" Indulgentia, XL dierum, pro capella de Toughton 

 noviter edificata" A.D. 1502. 



A Licence was granted for the building of a chapel 

 "in honore S. Katherinae Virginis, et indulgentiae 

 qutnque annorum conferentibus" A.D. 1481. 



The following may be an example of " pilgrim pardons," or 

 indulgences, given to visitants apart from any exaction of 

 money : 



" Indulgentia, XL dierum, visitantibus ymaginem et 

 veram statuam Domini Jhesu, prope feretrum S. Cuthberti 

 in ecclesia Dunelm." A.D. 1477. 



In conclusion, the more probable reading of the S. Catherine's 

 Chapel inscription would seem to be
