Reading edition
We may remember that “between the years 1485 and 1507, Oxford was visited by at least six great pestilences” (Lyte, p. 380). In 1486 we find the Fellows of Magdalen sojourning at Witney and Harwell (not far from Wantage) “tempore pestis.” Rogers, Hist. of Agric. and Prices, iii. (1882) 680.
