This manuscript was made in 1262 by T’oros Roslin, an extremely prominent illuminator, who extended the range of manuscript illuminations by introducing a whole cycle of images into the gospels rather than, as was traditional, only including the portraits of the evangelists. This particular manuscript was created at the scriptorium of Hromkla, which became the leading artistic center of Armenian Cilicia under the rule of catholicos Constantine I (1221-1267). As an extensive colophon starting on fol. 406v explains, T’oros created this manuscript under commission from the nephew of Constantine, a priest also named T’oros. It is one of seven known manuscripts bearing T’oros Roslin’s signature, and it is the most sumptuous of them all, with 15 miniatures and 67 smaller illustrations. The style of the images suggests that T’oros had several assistants helping with the illustrations, though the overall quality remains extremely high. The manuscript was long cherished within the Armenian church. Even in the seventeenth century, its illumination served as a model for Armenian scribes, particularly Bargham and his son Mik’ayel; see Jersualem, Armenian Patriarchate, no. 3438 and Washington DC, Freer Gallery, ms. 36.15; in the latter manuscript, Mik’ayel explicitly refers to “the excellent scribe T’oros, surnamed Roslin.”

Manuscript title: Augustinus, Expositio super tertiam partem psalmorum
Manuscript summary: The scriptorium of Engelberg made this codex containing Augustine's commentary on the Psalms, along with a whole series of works of the Church Fathers (Cod. 12-18, 87-88 und 138). A two-line poem on 1r shows that the codex came to be during the time of Abbot Frowin (1143-1178). The text is written in a small, careful and clean script. The codex contains scattered figure initials with vinescrolls and bulb motifs typical of Frowin's time. Otherwise, lightly decorated initials in red ink divide the text.
Origin: Engelberg (Switzerland)
Period: 12th century

This book of English heraldry was completed ca. 1589. The manuscript belonged to the Spencer family, as known through inscriptions on the first few flyleaves, including the motto "Dieu defende Le Droit" (God defends the right). This motto has long been associated with the Spencer family of England, which is the family line of Princess Diana, as well as the Spencers who were among the founders of Virginia. The Spencer family's heraldry is included in the manuscript, along with the coats of arms of numerous prominent British families, including the Hasting, Gray, Beuford, and Percye families. There is another similar book of English Heraldry in the British Library, Stowe MS 693, which was also completed at the end of the sixteenth century.

This illustrated copy of The lamentations of Jeremiah with the gloss (or interpretation) of Gilbert of Auxerre was written in Austria in the second half of the twelfth century and comes from the monastery of Seitenstetten. Gilbert died in 1134, and the manuscript is an early and important witness to his text. The gloss is written in a small script and is both interlinear and marginal. This layout is typical of glossed books of the Bible from the twelfth century. The illustrations of the sack of Jerusalem and the return to Babylon give valuable information on twelfth-century armor. The manuscript is in its original binding.

When I first started on the railway in 1983 for one summer I covered the railman ticket office positions at Maidstone Barracks, East Farleigh and Wateringbury on the Medway Valley line as relief for sickness and leave. At the time north of Maidstone the ticket offices had two shifts but south of Maidstone with just an hourly service there was a 12hr split shift. (4on-4off-4on). So East Farleigh and Wateringbury involved much time to kill seeing as I didn't live in either village so couldn't just go home like the resident blokes did, Spud Murphy and Ken Philpot.
The duty station master based at Maidstone West knowing I had dead time during the day suggested on one occasion he would be grateful if I could clear out all the out of date documents and accumulated rubbish at Wateringbury as the place was "like a museum" (his words not mine). The resident clerk/railman then was Ken Philpot and he was off long term sick and infact retired before resuming. I was tasked with clearing the shelves and cupboards of old documents dating back to the Southern Railway. Ken had worked there for donkeys years so nothing to him was out of date. There were label draws full of Southern Railway labels and a mountain of ticket office related documents back to the 1940's. I sort the assistance of a friend who was a junior railman at the time and between us we sorted through the musty pile of "rubbish". It was a gold mine of railway ephemera and we put a box together of vintage labels and other items and buried it in the floor under a loose floor board in the then booking office back room. (Wonder is its still there as the station was later converted to a private dwelling). The remainder of the older stuff we split between us as momento's of times past. My biggest regret and it still haunts me is the quantity of Railway Posters we ditched in the bin they would be worth a fortune now.
This photo depicts a page from the Wateringbury Goods Shed Livestock Register which covers a period from March 1947 to June 1961 when I suspect the facility for sending livestock stopped at Wateringbury. The goods shed still stands and is now a sawmill and wood merchants.

I've just received this book, Subway Pictures, from Betterworld Books of Mishawaka Indiana. It's a former library book from Cook Memorial Library of Libertyville Illinois. It's in very good condition and has a plastic library sleeve to protect it. It cost $24.95 in December 2004 … yet it was sold to me for £3.40 including postage from America !

Set of photos of pages from an old Special Traffic Notice detailing the arrangements in connection with the introduction of colour light signalling through East Croydon and Purley on the Brighton Main Line some 60 years ago in May 1955.
Fascinating stuff for me to see in the 18 page document including (in no particular order):-
Twelve hour clock.
Blackboards to be exhibited in prominent positions (page 2).
Yeovil Town to Gravesend Central milk train (page 2).
Coulsdon North station being open at weekends.
Victoria to provide brake van for Redhill portion of diverted 9.30pm Parcels from Victoria to Brighton (page 4).
Light engine movements to Bricklayers Arms Shed.
'Road motor' replacement for staff between various locations.
4.45am & 4.50am (Pass & News) from London Bridge being diverted via the Mid Kent line, Selsdon and Oxted as well as running south of East Grinstead to Horsted Keynes and then via Ardingly to Haywards Heath. (page 9).
5.15am (Pass & News) from East Croydon to Bognor Regis starting from London Bridge and running via the Mid Kent line, Oxted, Crowhurst Spur to Edenbridge, where a Turnover Engine (TE) took the train to Redhill where another 'TE' took the train on towards the Sussex coast '8 minutes later thence' (page 9).
9.28pm (Pass & Postal) from Margate to Cannon Street running via Edenbridge, Crowhurst Spur, Oxted, Selsdon and the Mid Kent line (page 10).
The interesting freight movements on pages 14 & 15 (including empty wooden mineral wagons to Merstham) with trains either being worked by Electric Locos (EL) or Steam Hauled (SH). Some of the freights were revised to run via Horsham and Shorehan by Sea via Steyning.
District Inspector Anscombe had a busy couple of nights being in attendance at Horsham Yard from 11.0pm Saturday and Three bridges Yard from 10.0pm Sunday.
For me I think the best part is the simplicity of it all, just an 18 page traffic notice for introduction of colour light signalling over one Saturday night. 60 years on of course and there would now be Project Managers and the like and the line would be shut all weekend. Still at least things are more efficient now aren't they!................
