Remarks on the foregoing Account. 



Cere Wax. I. Cere [Cera], wax. The total quantity in store at the time 

 of the bishop's death was 714 Ibs., of which 423 Ibs. were con- 

 sumed at his funeral. At the obsequies of the Bishop of London, 

 in 1303, the expenditure of wax was no less than 1200 Ib. The 

 Cera operata, of which the account mentions 58 Ib., as well as 3} 

 Ibs. consumed by the family after the death of the bishop, may 

 have been a mixture of wax with tallow, prepared for candles. 

 John de Garlande, 1 who lived in the 13th century, alludes to 

 1 Wright, Volume of Vocabularies, 1857, 129.
