1 ene 1540 año - alb

Descripción:

A tunic of white cloth, one of the vestments worn by priests. 1435 <i>unum alb de gris fustian steyned</i>, York (SS30/53). In 1472 Ralph Snaith wrote in his will <i>I bewytt</i> [bequeath] ... <i>to the kirke of Acworth a vestyment that wantys an albe</i>: clearly the alb was missing so he added <i>vjs viijd to by </i>[buy] <i>an albe wyth </i>(SS45/203). A curiously-spelt entry in the accounts of the churchwardens of Sheriff Hutton, in 1540, is headed <i>for mendyng off gere,</i> and the following extract is worth quoting in full: <i>Item takyng asonder an olde albe making thayr off two amis hodis and two payre of slevis too other two albis </i>(YAJ36/183).
