33 Some estimate of their magnificence and extent may be obtained by means of contemporary inventories. The most remarkable inventory is perhaps that of John’s eldest son, Charles V—“the Wise”—drawn up in 1379 and published by J. Labarte. Scarcely less remarkable are the jewel inventories of his three other sons, Louis Duke of Anjou, John Duke of Berry, and Philip (le Hardi) Duke of Burgundy, which have been published respectively by L. de Laborde, J. Guiffrey, and B. Prost.
34 Several inventories of the contents of the Burgundian treasury have been preserved. Lists of the magnificent jewels of two of the most powerful and wealthy, those of Philip the Good (1396-1467) and his son Charles the Bold (1433-1477) have been published by Laborde in his Ducs de Bourgogne, Pt. 2, Vol. II.

Treatises on precious stones frequently find a place in sixteenth-century Herbals, and are often accompanied by very spirited woodcuts representing the working of precious stones and the process of adapting them to personal ornaments, together with designs of actual articles of jewellery in which they are set. Two of the finest books of the kind are—an Ortus Sanitatis (Strasburg, circa 1497), and a Kreuterbuch printed at Frankfort in 1536.

54 Several writers on Pilgrims’ Signs state that a furnace destined for the same purpose may still be seen in an upper chamber in Canterbury Cathedral. Inquiry on the spot has failed to confirm the truth of this statement. The furnace in question has been used solely for the purpose of casting leadwork for repairing the roof. The badges were probably made somewhere in the Cathedral precints.

61 Mr. Hartshorne (Arch. Journ., XXXIX, p. 366) considers the origin of the letters SS—par excellence the “crux antiquariorum,” he terms it—to lie between the words Seneschallus, Souverayne, and Sanctus, and of these he appears to be in favour of the first.

70 Probably abbreviated from ambregis (ambergris), the well-known odoriferous substance, so called from its resemblance to grey amber. It was the most highly prized of all perfumes in mediæval times; and though its use is now almost entirely confined to perfumery, it formerly also occupied no inconsiderable place in pharmacy.

73 A Veronica, or Face of our Lord, frequently figured on hat-ornaments. Thus: “A vernicle hadde he sewed upon his cappe” (Chaucer, Canterbury Tales, l. 688). This jewel may perhaps have been a hat-brooch.

96 Compare this jewel with “un damoisell seant en un solaill” in Henry IV’s inventory.
97 Compare Henry IV’s “i. damoisell et i. unicorn.”
98 The same motive is figured on a morse shown on the left wing of a picture in the Cologne Museum known as the “Sippenaltar” (by the Meister der heiligen Sippe), dating from the end of the fifteenth century. The jewel is worn by S. Nicasius. It is trefoil in shape, and decorated with the figure of an angel, full face, holding a large stone in front.
99 This jewel once formed part of the treasure of the House of Burgundy, and came into the Imperial Collections through the marriage of Mary of Burgundy with the Emperor Maximilian I.

112 These bars of metal were attached vertically at intervals to the belt or girdle to maintain the rigidity of the material. The word bar (corresponding to the French clou) was subsequently applied to all such attachments, which were sometimes perforated to allow the tongue of the buckle to pass through them (Way, Prompt. parv., p. 24).

115 There is the possibility that bells were worn as amulets, though not necessarily intended as such by their wearers. “Le son de l’airain,” like the tinkling ornaments of the daughters of Zion (Isa. iii. 18), was thought to have a prophylactic virtue. The double-tail mermaids of silver still worn in Naples as charms against the evil eye are always hung with little bells (Elworthy, The evil eye, p. 368).

122 This tendency is as common as ever in the East, particularly among high-class natives of India, on account of the prevailing belief that the only safe way to invest money is to purchase precious stones and similar articles of intrinsic or sterling value.

149 In the night of December 17th, 1860, the Galleria delle Gemme of the Uffizi was entered by thieves, who carried off a large number of gems and jewels. Most of the gems were recovered, but nearly all robbed of their settings. All the jewels were lost (Gotti, A., Le Gallerie di Firenze, pp. 229 and 388).

151 A jewelled enseigne known as the “Star Jewel,” once the property of Sir Francis Drake, belongs to Sir F. Fuller-Eliott-Drake. It is enriched with translucent red enamel, and has rubies set in the rays, with opals and diamonds interspersed in the border, round an engraved ruby in the centre. It has four loops behind for attaching to the hat.
