I think Jenny and I were the unlucky ones yesterday. Today the Yorkshire volumes have opened with no problem and I'm currently wading through the Snaith section. Never having seen anything from as early as 1500's it was so enthralling seeing the first pages written in Latin. Now I understand why they tried to teach it to us in grammar school - sad but at 12 years old, I was looking to the future, not backwards and I chose to do German instead. Can anyone enlighten me, in roman numerals I have never seen j used. What does xiiijth mean? I recognise xiii as 13 but can't figure out what j relates to. Also seen one that is xjth. Is that just 10th? Thanks. Jean
