: "Ancient Funerall Monuments, &c. Composed by the Travels and Studie of John Weever." Lond. 1631. It is exceedingly singular that a book published at Antwerp in 1584, "The Itinerarium per nonnullas Galliæ Belgicæ partes Abrahami Ortelii et Joannis Viviani," confirms Weever, in such almost identical words, that it is not worth while to append a translation. Ortelius, or Ortell, writes (p. 16):—"Est in hac quoq. regione Gulielmitarũ Cœnobium in quo epitaphiũ hoc Joannis à Mandeuille excepimus: Hic iacet vir nobilis dn͠s Joẽs de Mandeville al' dc͠vs ad barbam, miles dn͠s de Cãpdi, natus de Anglia, mediciẽ p̃f̃essor devotissimvs orator et bonorum largissimvs pauperibus erogata qui toto quasi orbe lustrato leodii diem vite sue clavsit extremum a͠no dn͠i Mo CCCo LXXI mensis novẽbre' die XVII.
