Should a full answer to this Query take up too much of your valuable space, I should be satisfied with the titles of any works on the art of "illumination," in which special mention is made of the way of preparing parchment.

"Mater ait natæ."—Where can the following lines, thus "Englished by Hakewill," be found?
"Mater ait natæ, dic natæ, filiâ, natam
Ut moneat natæ plangere filiolam."
"The aged mother to her daughter spake,
Daughter, said she, arise;
Thy daughter to her daughter take,
Whose daughter's daughter cries."
My object in asking the above question is for the purpose of discovering if such a relationship ever existed.
