"('Shall I goe force an Elegie,' p. 410)"
Pages 235, 263: The inscriptions have a character which
looks like a reversed capital C, but which is actually a
ROMAN NUMERAL REVERSED ONE HUNDRED Ↄ (U+2183 or Ↄ).
On Page 235, the date of Anne (More) Donne's death is given as
CIↃ. DC. XVII.
i.e. hundreds, ten, (1000) plus 600 plus 17, or the year 1617,
which is correct.
On Page 263, the date given is CIↃ. IↃC. XXIII.
CIↃ = 1000;
IↃC =500+100 (600),
XXIII = 23, so the date is 1623.
(Reference for page 263: [http:// hypotheses.org/17871] ... 'Le
latin de Locke ... Goudae apud Justum Ab Hoeve
CIↃ IↃC LXXXIX ...
CIↃ = 1000
IↃC se décompose en IↃ = 500 + C = 100 soit 600
LXXXIX = 89
La date correspondante est 1689*.
* 2011 serait CIↃ CIↃ XI '.)
(So 2015 would be CIↃ CIↃ XV ').
