There are some material similarities in how wills were stored; even paper wills have vellum tags at times, and memoranda might be slipped between the folded pages. Other times, they used a pin to attach codicils and memoranda, like this! #MaterialCulture #BookHistory #Probate
Inventories take a lot of forms: some are on pieces of folded #vellum, but the majority have been vellum rolls. They're often one roll about an inch in diameter, but Luke Meredith's 1700 #inventory is gargantuan in comparison! #twitterstorians #archives #bookhistory #archives
Inventories tell us what a #stationer owned when they died & give us a sense of what their homes looked like. Maurice Atkins's 1688 #inventory details lots of items in his "coffee roome," including "copper potts," a #coffee iron & "some tin things" #twitterstorians #bookhistory
Hercules Francois's 1604 #will explains that while he's living in the city of #London at the time of writing, he was born in #Holland. This unusual comment at the top of the original will notes that it's *actually* a #translation "owte of frenche"! #bookhistory #earlymodern
