Medieval Legal Latin Abbreviations
Hi All;
I wondering if some one could recommend a book
listing medieval latin abbreviations that were
used in such documents as Inq. Post. Mortem,
Fines, Common Pleas etc.
Kind Regards
Pau

Pierre Chaplais, _English Medieval diplomatic practice_, 2 vols.
(London: HMSO, 1975-82); and L. C. Hector, _The Handwriting of English

Chris Phillips' amazing site provides some basics from Hector (with

I'd think it might be found in larger libraries. Perhaps someone on the
list will recommend a more compact reference.

As well as the more comprehensive references that have been pointed out,
there is _Introduction to the Study of the Pipe Rolls_ (London, 1884
reprinted Liechtenstein, 1996) with an excellent table of abbreviations.
Paul, I will bring a photopocy of this for you when I come to the Sunshine
Coast in a few weeks.
