Description
Blount, Thomas. Fragmenta Antiquitatis. Antient Tenures of Land and Jocular Customs of Some Mannors: Made Publick for the Diversion of Some, and Instruction of Others. 1st ed. London: Printed by the Assigns of Richard and Edward Atkins, for Abel Roper and Christopher Wilkinson, 1679.
The last work published by the author, Fragmenta Antiquitatis, includes "various curious tenures and customs of manors" which he discovered in compiling Nomo–Lexicon. In preserving the memory of many of these customs, Thomas Blount (1618–1679) manages to produce a book which is both humorous and enlightening.
