1 gen 1577 anni - set up

Descrizione:

This is a traditional part of the vocabulary of the medieval guilds. A man was entitled to set up in business only after completing his time as an apprentice and journeyman. In 1475 the brethren in York would not permit <i>any estraunge man to sett up as maister</i> unless it could be shown that he was <i>able and connyng</i> in the craft (SS186/182). In Sheffield a pre-incorporation Ordinance of 1565 said that <i>no maner of person shall sett up the said occupacion … oneles he have beyne apprentice vij yeares</i> (HCC1). It gave rise to the noun ‘upset’: in Beverley in 1577 William Blenkarne, a coverlet weaver, paid 20d <i>for an upsett</i> (YRS84/13).
