Well, Lancashire has now been well and truly launched in both Toronto and Manchester by the good offices of the University of Toronto Press and Chetham's Library. It is a volume which ranges widely over the county, containing a wealth of household and monastic accounts. Lots of piping in Lancashire! Both 1991 issues of the Newsletter have been sent so if you are a subscriber, you should have had yours by now. REED and the University are working with the Theatre Museum in London (I think it is in Covent Garden) on an exhibition about the theatrical background of Shakespeare called Pageants of Delight. It opens on Monday, the 27th of April, and runs until August: if you are can get to London for it, it sounds wonderful. There is even REED's first video, as part of the presentation! Finally a query: has anyone encountered a usage of the Latin nauis, ship, to mean a lamp, or something else which might be suspended from the ceilig of a hall? This is for a crux in a late sixteenth century school account. Abigail
