COMMENT
Gentles of the List,
While David Webb - [thanks for a most intersting and informative Posting,
BTW, David] - is on the subject of historical weighing - can anyone recommend
any Merchant/source for a set of medieval-looking small scales? My Lady Alys
Vitel would like to have a set sutiable for a late-15th C Apothecary/Herbalist.
Something with a price tag that wouldn't call for me to take-out a second
Mortgage to afford to buy the scales, would be nice?
God's Blessings on you all this Feast of St. Cassius; - and until He calls us
Home to Him for the Last Battle and The Judgement that shall follow..
Yours in Service,
Matthew
