Scholar's name to ffep (Robert Brown). Else book is fine. DJ has very light shelfwear. ; Romans and Barbarians sees the clash of cultures from the standpoint of four individuals whose curious fate it was to venture or be sent beyond the outer watchtowers of the Roman empire. They bore witness from the grassy steppe of Europe's southeastern corner; from across the grim Carpathians, towering beyond the Danube; from the fearsome German forest; and from beyond the Firth of Forth in the wilderness of northern-most Britain. Each portrait reveals different aspects of the Sarmatian, German, and Celtic peoples facing the empire's European frontiers. Together these four viewpoints provide a rich portrait of the classical and Iron Age worlds, mutually uncomprehending yet strangely unable to do without each other. The outcome is a skein of violence, tragedy, misadventure, and courage, offering a preview of the cruel but creative forces from whose fusion modern Europe was eventually to emerge. ; 237 pages

On p.4 of the bifilium there is a signed statement in William Collins's hand the auditor: 'Theise are the Auntient Rentes of the principall Impropriations of the Deane & Chapter of Sarum i.e. Salisbury according to the survey 26 H. 8 i.e. of the 26th year of Henry VIII = 1534-5. What sume they are improved appeareth not but neither are the values of Bedwym Bedwyn Okborne Ogbourne & Uphaven Upavon expressed.Wm Collins Auditor'. About 70 Prebends Tithes and Rectories are listed with their rents not in Collins' hand some crossed out others added in Collins hand. The first in the list is "Lavington Prebend ye yearly rente is xxxixpounds ." Mere . Warmister Prebend etc rentes given. Places concluding Rectorie include Homington Cricklade those concluding Tithes include New Forest Windsor Forest. The list is therefore of the churches in Wiltshire that belonged to the dean and chapter of Salisbury showing the amount of annual rent the incumbents had to pay in order to hold them according to a survey carried out in 1534-5. William Collins was the Earl of Salisbury's auditor who seems to have been active from the 1620s to the 1640s. The hand certainly fits this period. It might be dated to the 1640s perhaps in the context of an attempt by Parliament to assess the income of the Salisbury dean and chapter after disestablishment in 1646. 1630s or 1640s[?] unknown
