Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rotulus Cancellarii, Vel Antigraphum Magni Rotuli Pip� De Tertio Anno Regni Regis Johannis
The degree of correspondency between the Treasurer's and the Chancellor's roll is a point of no little curiosity. Certain it is that if we may judge of the rest by the roll which is here printed, the correspondency is not so exact as the old writer on the Court of Exchequer maintains that it was the duty of the Chancellor's scribe to observe. Certain it is that there are some entries on the Treasurer's roll which are not found at all on the Chancellor's; and that in some instances the information is more extended, as the same transaction is entered on the roll of the Treasurer. There are also a few, though very few, variations between them. Acquittances in whole or in part appear in some instances on one roll, and not on the other. Mr. Devon, the oflicer of the Chapter House who transcribed the Chancellor's Roll which is here printed, has taken the pains to collate it with the Treasurer's Roll at the Pipe Office, and from his notes the following abstract is made of the more material of the variations between them.
