Part 17 (2/2)

p. xxvii., _dele_ note 3 [[41]]. 'The truth is that, in his account of Oxford and its early days, Mr Hallam quotes John of Salisbury, not as a.s.serting that Vacarius taught there, but as making ”no mention of Oxford at all”; while he gives for the statement about the law school no authority whatever beyond his general reference throughout to Anthony Wood. But the fact is as historical as a fact can well be, and the authority for it is a pa.s.sage in one of the best of the contemporary authors, Gervaise of Canterbury. ”Tunc leges et causidici in Angliam primo vocati sunt,” he says in his account of Theobald in the Acts of the Archbishops, ”quorum primus era{t} magister Vacarius. Hic in Oxonefordia legem docuit.”' E. A. F.

Chipping or paring bread. ”_Non comedas crustam, colorem quia gignit adustam_ ... the Authour in this Text warneth vs, to beware of crusts eating, because they ingender a-dust cholor, or melancholly humours, by reason that they bee burned and dry. And therefore great estates the which be [_orig._ the] chollerick of nature, cause the crustes aboue and beneath to be chipped away; wherfore the pith or crumme should be chosen, the which is of a greater nourishment then the crust.” _Regimen Sanitatis Salerni_, ed. 1634, p. 71.
