DESCRIPTIONS and transcripts, made by or for Thomas Astle, of Anglo-Saxon charters in his own possession or among the Cotton MSS. in the British Museum. The name of John Lewis, as copyist, is inscribed on f. 91 b, with the date Dec. 1766. The volume formerly contained Astle's original charters also, but these have been removed, and are classed separately as Stowe Charters 1-44 (below, p. 695). Paper; ff. 121. The binding (18th cent.) is of thick boards covered with needle-work of the 15th cent., in coloured silks and gold-wire on canvas, evidently not intended for such a purpose. In the centre of the upper cover is the Crucifixion, and at the four corners as many saints. The figures of the Saviour and of the two saints at the top are appliquées, and the other two saints are on separate pieces of material sewed in. On the under cover are six pieces sewed together, each containing a saint standing between the pillars of a colonnade; the figures in the upper row of three are appliquées. Folio (22½ in. x 17 in.).
