Domenico Bandini (d. 1418), Fons memorabilium uniuersi, an encylopaedia in Latin, here in a set of five volumes possibly from an original six (lacking Part V Book i): made c. 1444-8 for William Gray (d. 1478), later Bishop of Ely, during his travels in Germany and Italy, and bequeathed with his library to Balliol College. The various scribes and illuminators, perhaps working largely at Cologne, display an international range of influences: Dutch, Italian, English, even Spanish. Illuminated initials and borders sometimes include Gray's coat of arms.
Parts II (some leaves lost) and III, with a final colophon stating that its scribe Theodericus Werken began the work at Cologne in Dec. 1445 and finished it at Rome in Feb. 1448: physical changes from p. 159 (fol. 80r) seem to mark the transitional point.
Foliation follows Mynors' foliation in at bottom right of each recto rather than early modern pagination in top right corners of each page, recto and verso. Pagination is reproduced in labels on each image. P.355 is followed by 456 - nothing missing, just a scribal error which continues to the end of the MS.

Agricultural Buildings and Complexes in Mill Creek Hundred, 1800-1840
Newark, New Castle County, DE
Listed: 11/13/1986
The properties included in the Mill Creek Hundred Agricultural Buildings and Complexes Thematic Nomination are eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A and C: historic events and architectural significance. The seventeen sites included in this nomination, in particular the bank barns, are significant because they reflect the transformation of agricultural and rural work during a period of major growth in Mill Creek Hundred. Four factors are important in this transformation: a large population increase; a decrease in farm size by one third; the increase in the number of durable buildings (as defined by stone); and the expansion of local industry. As "working" symbols of "new" agriculture, bank barns reflect the transformation of rural society to its most efficient form through the intensive utilization of land, day labor, work space, and building materials. Thus at a time of increasingly competitive interests, diminishing farm size, and local demographic pressure, the barn becomes a symbol of an emerging progressive and industrialized social and economic order in rural Mill Creek Hundred.
The J. Stinsen Farm is significant under Criterion A as a manifestation of the social and economic changes that precipitated the rebuilding period in early nineteenth century Mill Creek Hundred, and under Criterion C as an example of early nineteenth century construction methods and styles. The barn is a symbol of the emerging class of prosperous farmers who erected new buildings as an expression of their social and economic status. The J. Stinsen Farm is important because its peculiar framing scheme of the collared principal rafter roof. This was an archaic form by the early nineteenth century and can be seen in local eighteenth century dwellings as well as in the circa 1760 William Phillips barn. The straw shed of the Stinsen barn seems to have been original construction rather than an addition as indicated by the seamless northwest extension wall. If so, then this indicates an early cognizance of the importance of sheltering hay, grain and straw, and signals an acceptance of the straw shed as an integral part of the barn form. The house exhibits the regional preference for two story, symmetrical Georgian forms and stone construction. Its circa 1900 Queen Anne style addition reoriented the facade from the farmyard to the road, but it also retained the original house in its plan.
Local tradition asserts that Stinsen was a pig farmer and butcher. This would fit in with the tendency of nineteenth century farmers in Mill Creek Hundred to intensively use the land through dairy and livestock farming.
