[DCRM-L] Genre for a manuscript

[dawn.grattino]

Thanks to all who responded. I appreciate the help.


"In most places in England beating the boundaries has taken the place of beating the boys of the town; but so late as 1679 the churchwarder's books of Chelsea contain record of a payment of four shillings, "given to the boys that were whipt."


Different dates are mentioned for perambulations in different places.

That sounds interesting Dawn;

I am guessing that beating the bounds on the feast of Corpus Christi (the Thursday after Trinity Sunday) features in the text.  It still happens; I have seen the procession round St Giles' parish, Oxford, although I believe that they no longer knock a choirboy's head against the boundary stone to make the point.

Can't help with the genre term, but perhaps a look into DCRM(MSS) will help.

Best regards,

Jane

Dear collective wisdom, this is my first time trying to apply dcrm(b) to a manuscript.


I'm looking for a genre term for "manuscript" and I can't seem to find one in the RBMS controlled vocabularies, or lcgft. Can I just use lcsh?


I have 3 handwritten leaves (it appears there are some missing), the text is about village fences and some of the English traditions around them (like annual circumambulation).


No provenance, no author, the date 1865 is mentioned. Obviously a Level K record.


Any help is much appreciated!
