THE RECORD INTERPRETER

| This book has been accepted as a standard reference work by local historians, archivists, and other users of documentary records since it first appeared in 1892. As Dr. Iredale observes in his Introduction to this latest edition “Trice Martin is a ‘must for anyone engaged in historical or literary pursuits and the reading of old documents - teacher, research student, local historian, genealogist, heraldry enthusiast, librarian or archivist. The book occupies a prominent position on the desk in my own study...” - Foreign/Ethnic - England - |

THE RECORD INTERPRETER. A Collection of Abbreviations, Latin Words and Names Used in English Historical Manuscripts and Records
|
| Prior to the 19th century, many British and European records contain texts written in Latin or sprinkled with Latin or French abbreviations. Mr. Martin, one-time assistant keeper of public records in London, designed this book to answer the questions that can plague researchers when they run across Latin and French abbreviations in English historical manuscripts. Armed with this easy-to-follow guidebook, researchers will be able to understand most texts with little more than an ordinary dictionary. Mr. Martins coverage extends to the meanings of: (1) Abbreviations of Latin words used in English records; (2) Abbreviations of French words used in English records: (3) A glossary of Latin words found in records and other English manuscripts; (4) Latin names and places in Great Britain and Ireland; (5) Latin names of bishoprics in England; (6) Latin names of bishoprics in Scotland; (7) Latin names of bishoprics in Ireland; (8) Latin forms of English surnames; and (9) Latin Christian names with their English equivalents. "This work is of vital importance in libraries where there is any call for the reading of records in Latin."_Library Journal, January 16, 1966. - Foreign/Ethnic - England - |
