Musaeum Clausum (1684)

1. A Poem of Ovidius Naso, written in the Getick Language,** AhAb pudet & scripsi Getico sermone Libellum. during his exile at Tomos, found wrapt up in Wax at Sabaria, on the Frontiers of Hungary, where 195 Tract XIII. Bibliotheca Abscondita where there remains a tradition that he died, in his return towards Rome from Tomos, either after his pardon or the death of Augustus.

Thoresby, Musaeum Thoresbyanum (1713) 104. Cronica fratris Martini Papæ Penitentiarii & Capellani; it contains the History of the Emperors from Augustus to the Vacancy after Frederick 2d, and the Popes to Honorious 4, An. 1283. Note, the Book is perfect till, pag. 191. where the History of Pope Joan was probably inserted, there being nothing defective in the whole Book but that Leaf, and the other that answers it. It belonged to the Friars Minorits at Doncaster, and was probably torn out after the Reformation, against which they were so zealous, that the Prior of Doncaster was executed, An. 1547.
Thoresby, Musaeum Thoresbyanum (1713) Four Cornelian Signets, one hath the Head of Augustus with a radiated Crown. Another hath Dea Fortuna, with a Rudder of a Ship, to denote Government, in her Right Hand, and a Cornucopiæ in her Left to signify Plenty. The third is a large one, and hath a winged Victory, with a Palm, with the like Gubernaculum, and Abundantiæ-cornu. The fourth seems to be an Emperor or General in a Martial Habit, with the Paludamentum, &c. Whether all the four came to my Father from Aldbrough, I am not certain
Thoresby, Musaeum Thoresbyanum (1713) The said Sepulchral Monument was happily rescued by Dr. Bryan Fairfax, from the brutish Workmen who had broke it in the Middle, and were going to make use of it for two Throughs, as they call them, to bind the Wall; but by that worthy Gentleman's Direction it was walled upright, with the Inscription and Effigies to the Front, and is since removed to the Gardens of Sir Hen. Goodrick at Ribston. This Brick had been several Times made use of, with broken Stones and Brick-bats, by Mr. Smith in making Moulds for casting Bells. Upon my Enquiry after Inscriptions in that ancient City, he recollected himself that he had seen some old Letters, but thought the Brick was lost, though upon Search we found the Piece which is inscribed, LEG. I X. VIC. This is also an Argument of the Peace these Parts enjoyed at that Time, which I take to be the later End of Severus's Reign, making Bricks, casting up High-ways, &c. being the usual Employment of Soldiers at such Vacancies. Sir Hen. Savile was of Opinion, that this Nona Hispaniensis in Britannia, was one of those established by Tiberius, Caius, or Claudius, or peradventure in the later End of Augustus; but however, that it was certainly here in Nero's Reign, and that Pet. Cerealis was then Lieutenant thereof, is indisputably evident from Tacitus, (Lib. 14. cap. 10.) where he gives a lamentable Account of the Slaughter of Seventy thousand Citizens, and Confederates, by the enraged Boadicea, in which Number was the Foot of this 9th Legion, Cerealis with the Horse hardly escaping.
