DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ...D.B.; Wyleshamstede, E.T.; Wilshampsted, EA. The D.B. spelling solves the name. It is from A.S. Wines-hdmstede, where Wines is the gen. of Wini, later form Wine, a rather common name. Indeed, the A.S. wine simply means 'friend, ' though also employed as a personal name. The name should rather have been Winshamstead; but l was substituted for n not long after the Conquest. The sense is 'Wine's homestead.' The A.S. wine was pronounced winny. It occurs again in Wins-low (Bucks.), Wins-hill (Derb.). 38. STOxn. Stoke is closely related to stock, A.S. stoc, a stock, trunk of a tree, perhaps also sometimes the stump of a stone cross. It occurs in REDBOURNESTOKE, once a place-name, but now only surviving as the name of a hundred. Spelt Radbnrnestoch, Radeburnesoca, D.B.; Radeburnestoke, A.M.; Redbournestoke, F.A.; Radburnestok, H.R.; Rrwleborne, Radeburne, R.C.; Redburne, RE. I have shown, in my Place-names of Herts., that the names Radwell and Radnor may fairly be interpreted as meaning, respectively, 'red well' and 'red bank'; from the A.S. read, red. Sohere, I suppose the sense of Redbourne or Radbourne to be simply 'red bourne, ' i.e. red stream. We find to readan burnan, to the red bourne, in Birch, Cart. Saxon. iii. 587. Then Redbournestoke will refer to 'a stump near the red bourn.' The comparative redder is spelt radvlere in Political Songs, ed. Wright (Camden Society), p. 330. 39. STOW. Stow means 'a place'; whence the verb to bestow or stow away, to put into its place. It occurs in Elstow. It is clear to any one at all accustomed to these old spellings that, in the forms Eln-, Aln-, Aun--, we have to deal with a much abbreviated form; and the...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This is the first of a four volume History of the University of Cambridge, under the General Editorship of Professor C.N.L. Brooke, and the first volume on the medieval University as a whole to be published in over a century. It provides a synthesis of the intellectual, social, political, and religious life of the early University, and gives serious attention to the development of classroom studies and how they changed with the coming of the Renaissance and the Reformation. Following the first stirrings of the University in the early thirteenth century, the evolution of the University is traced from the original Corporation of Masters and Scholars through the early development of the colleges. The second half of the book focuses on the century from the 1440s to the 1540s, which saw the flowering of the University under Tudor patronage. In the decades preceding the Reformation many colleges were founded, the teaching structures reorganized, and the curriculum made more humanistic. The place of Cambridge at the forefront of northern European universities was eventually assured when Henry VIII founded Trinity College in 1546, in the face of changes and difficulties experienced during the course of the Reformation.
