Transcriber's Note:

Obvious typographical errors have been corrected. Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation in the original document have been preserved.

The anchor for [Footnote 11] is missing in the text. Its location has been approximated.

The reference to Hexham church on page [157] is a possible typo.

The comma in the Roman numeral on page [204] is a possible typo.

Schmarzow on pages [230] and [405] should possibly be Schmarsow.

The index entry to Giovanni Buoni da Bissone points to entries for both Buoni and Bono, and Bissone and Bissoni.
