Subject
Information about the transcriptions used on this site.
Description
This site uses semi-diplomatic transcription.
Not all content applies in this case but the bottom lines are the ones you need to know most of all.
English had still not become entirely standardised within the Huntroyd Receipts, or at this time.
Is this a reflection on the age of the contributors?
The beauty of some of the handwriting speaks of high standards of education, but sometimes it is possible to see some "flexibility" is applied to words within the papers.
