1 gen 1672 anni - table

Descrizione:

As a verb this could mean ‘to provide board’, a sense recorded in the OED from the fifteenth century. An early Yorkshire example shows how the two words inter-related: 1577 <i>for the board and tabling of William Gilby … 12d weekly</i>, Beverley (YRS84/12). A workman might have board provided as part of his contract or pay for it himself: 1640 <i>William Tadman the shepherd to have £5 per annum … and he to table himselfe</i>, Elmswell (DW192); 1672 <i>went to worke at Almondbury by dayes and out of his hand labor tabled his child at Honley</i> (QS1/11/7). More usually it meant to take one’s meals at a certain place or with a certain person or family: 1633 <i>we tabled all the time of our aboad in that country </i>[Devonshire]<i> in the house of Mr Roger Skinner</i> (SS65/127). Examples are found in parish registers: 1656-7 <i>Anthony Smith, sep: the 19 Januarie who was tabled att Philip Scatcherdes, att Arthington</i>, Adel (PR); 1664 <i>Thomas Briggs who were tabled with John Cozin</i>, Horbury (PR).
