References in Documents:[Travel Diary of Georg Christoph Stirn of Nuremberg, includes description of the Tradescant collection, as well as those in the tower and at Oxford] [*]For the visit to Oxford I have taken both translation and notes,
with very slight alterations, from Dr.
Neubauer 's letter to the Athenaeum ; in the last
sentence only I have not followed him, when the MS. has 'zween füss von einem menschen so gehangt worden, an deren ieglichem
nur zwo zeen ' and he translates 'two human feet suspended in such
a way that only two toes are to be seen on each of them.'
