June 7

An archival misprint, what was in context meant?

In the text of Forude's History of England, on page 33 s:Page:History_of_england_froude.djvu/33 he make reference to some statutes of 2. Hen VII., However, the Table of Statutes (from Ruffhead's collection) for Hen7 and Hen8 do not have a 2Hen7 or 2Hen8., and I've not based on quick glance of subject headings been able to figure out what the intended reference was to insert a SIC note to give the correct one.

So I am brining it over here to ask if any of the reference desk contributors with access to really old statute collections can figure it out. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 14:05, 7 June 2018 (UTC) Query corrected per book text ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:28, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The reference 2 Hen. VI means the second regnal year of King Henry VI. Your source also has a link to 24 Hen. VIII (the 24th regnal year of Henry VIII). I find it surprising that no statutes were passed in the second year of Henry VII. Is the list incomplete or only concerned with statutes still in force? Does the source list any statutes passed in the 24th year of Henry VIII? The phrase "statutes at large" appears to mean "still in force" - for example for 21 Hen. III there is one statute listed - The Statute of the Leap Year - and I know that remained in force until comparatively recently. 2A00:23C0:8302:3A01:D9F2:509:9EC6:581E (talk) 19:51, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was referencing this: s:Chronological_Table_and_Index_of_the_Statutes/Table_of_Variances s:Chronological_Table_and_Index_of_the_Statutes/Chronological_Table/Hen7 and the relevant volume of The Statutes at Large (collated by Owen Ruffhead (not Runnington's edition.) - Scans here - https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=File:Ruffhead_-_The_Statutes_at_Large_-_vol_2.djvu&page=11 (for Hen7 and https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=File:Ruffhead_-_The_Statutes_at_Large_-_vol_2.djvu&page=15 being the relevant scans for Hen7 and Hen8 respectively... 24Hen8 exists. The Ruffhead colation contains most of the Statutes in force at the time of its collation ( more than currently obviously, as well as number of expired/obslete or arcahic ones.). I can find is something 114Hen7 c. 19 concerning Tilage, but not sure if that's what Froude is in context citing... 4Hen7 c. 16 concerns the Isle of Wight.. hmmm...

4Hen7 c. 19 , I must check before I type stuff.. And yes you are correct about 11Hen7 c. 19

Also s:Chronological Table and Index of the Statutes/Chronological Table/Hen6, seem by the dates to be from earlier period, than in context of those in the relevant Froude Chapter.? Puzzling ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:32, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

11 Hen. VII c. 19 is "An Act against unlawful and deceitful stuffing and making of Feather-beds". 4 Hen. VII c. 16 is "An Act prohibiting the taking of more Farms than One in the Isle of Wight". Henry VII's first regnal year ran from 22 August 1485 to 21 August 1486. His first parliament sat from 7 November to the following March. Its Acts are cited 1 Hen. VII c. 1 ... 1 Hen. VII c. 10. His second parliament was called by writs dated 1 September 1487. It convened at Westminster on 9 November and sat for a month. Its public Acts would be cited 2 Hen. VII c... but it didn't pass any. The third parliament convened 13 January 1489. The citation of its first Act is 3 Hen. VII c. 1. 24 Hen. VIII c. 9 is "An Acte agaynst kyllyng of yong Beasts called Weyndyngs", so it appears that Froude's reference to it is correct. You can read the text of it here: [1]. 2A00:23C0:8302:3A01:9833:D6C:29EC:FF3E (talk) 19:46, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And thanks to Hathi Trust: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=pst.000017915526;view=1up;seq=567 in context I think Froude means 4HenVII. 16 and 19. Not 2HenVII Thanks.. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:19, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does it have a title other than Lied der KPD/ML? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 21:11, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the KPD/ML is not the same as the KPD. Rgds ✦ _hugarheimur 00:24, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The tune is the same as the older Die Arbeiter von Wien, which in turn is based on White Army, Black Baron. --Wrongfilter (talk) 02:01, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
