V.—John de Trevisaa—A.D. 1342-1412. (Supplemental Notice). 
—JOHN J. RoaeErs, Penrose. 
Read at the Spring Meeting, May 16, 1873. 
Se the publication of my brief notice of John de Trevisa, 
in the’ Journal of the Institution,* some additional light has 
been thrown on the subject by the discovery, through the Historical | 
Manuscripts Commission, of further copies of some of Trevisa’s 
works, and of entries in the books of the Colleges of Exeter and 
Queen’s at Oxford, relating to his connection with that University. 
In the ‘Computi,” or Bursars’ Accounts, of Exeter College, 
which commence as early as 1324, under the date 1362 John 
Trevysa is mentioned as a member. In 1364 the same Computus 
contains an entry of 12d. paid “for hire of two horses, when the 
Rector and John Trevysa were at West Wyttenham, to make 
composition with the farmers there for building a barn.” (Hist. 
MSS. Commission, 2nd Report, 1871, pp. 128-9). 
We next find him alluded to in the Computi of Queen’s 
College. Here, in 1371-2, “‘among payments to the Fellows, it — 
is stated that Trevisa (who had now removed to this College from 
that of Exeter) received half a mark and one penny.” “Also 
for the expenses of Middelworth and Trevisa, in shewing the 
muniments of the church of Newbold at Strettone, and their 
charges on the road, 30d.” In the Computus for 1372-3, the name 
of John Trevisa appears again as a Fellow; and again in the 
following year, 1373-4. From this date until 1395, no entry of 
his name is mentioned in the Report; but in the Computus for 
“the 19th of Richard IL, 1395-6, we find that John Trevisa, 
though no longer a Fellow of the College, was paying 14s. 4d. 
yearly for a chamber which he rented there. In the Roll for the 
* No. XI. April, 1870, p. 147.
