Monos
Monos
GB 2014 WS-02-POS-01-12 · Item · c.1911
Part of Westminster School's Archive and Collections

One copy annotated on reverse by R.S. Chalk, as follows:
'At close of School, following ‘Ire licet’, a School Monitor (in charge of the Door, ‘ostium’) and a Second Election KS capping the Masters. (The junior Master descending amid the IV Form was taken in my day to be W.G. Etheridge, but at this date I think it more likely A.H. Forbes).
As a Second Election from Play 1921 to Election 1922 I regularly performed my duty as Monos- tapping on the doors of VII and VI Form Rooms with the corner of my college-cap and announcing “Instat Quinta!” or (when Early School in Summer) “Instat Quarta!” –and on Saturdays or Plays “Instat Sesquiduodecima!” (This was an anachronism, this no longer being the correct hour).
Only once or twice (on O.T.C Field Days) did it fall to me to deputise for a School Monitor and take charge of the Door and take my place on the Monos Stone.'

Matthaei Paris Monachi Albanensis, Angli, Historia Major
Published in London 1640.

Matthew Paris Monk of St Albans (c. 1200-1259) wrote several chronicles of the history of England over numerous decades.

This volume was originally owned by Thomas Aymot FRS/ FSA, and eventually donated to the school by R. Walker (OW). The rare book was rebound before acquiring it, by the Newcastle Upon Tyne university library in 1961. A page of Cranmer's Great Bible (parts of St. John's Gospel, chapters 2 and 3) was found inside the front cover of this volume which remains in place with a photocopy attached to the fly leaf.

 Paris, Matthew, 1200-1259
