 12 s. ix. OCT. s, 1921.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 295 ARMS ON THE LEVENTHOBPE MONUMENT ( 12 S. ix. 244). It may assist if I remind MB. HERBERT C. ANDREWS that the Margaret ; whom Henry Cloville (1464-1513) married,; was not (in spite of printed pedigrees) an Anger but an Auger, more properly Aucher, j of Kent, and, as touching the last query in his ! note, I may add that in the chancel of Otter- ; den Church the arms of James Aucher were j placed on the tomb of his father John, who : died 1502. But in this case the explanation I is probably in the fact that James was him- j self buried " at his father's feet " in 1508. With regard to the House of Lancaster j and the collar of SS., MR. ANDREWS is doubt- 1 less aware that John Leventhorpe was execu- tor under an early will of Henry V., and was < therefore most likely " of his counsel " and : household. PERCY HULBURD. There could be no connexion between I Tedwdeg, otherwise Tewdwc, Tudor and Twichett. The arms in question are borne by many families descended from David ; Goch (the Red David). Gules three crescents or are borne by j Monins, Boyton, Lambert, Cooke, &c. ! Azure a lion rampant and border engrailed or are borne by Tirrell, Teverey, &c. The re- versing of tinctures is constant and may denote a younger son of a house. E. E. COPE. Finchampstead, Berks. MUSTARD FAMILY (12 S. ix. 211, 254). I must respectfully protest against SIR ROBEBT Go WEB'S suggested derivation of the family name Spice from Spicer. Of this Essex and Kent family, Clement Spice, in the late fourteenth century, was founder, with Aubrey de Vere, 10th Earl of Oxford, of a Canonry at St. Osyth's, and would, I am sure, repudiate indignantly, if he could, the idea that he or his forbears had traded in groceries and not invariably " trailed the puissant spike" Did not these Spices, who intermarried with Mandeville, Montgomery and Fortescue, occasionally spell themselves " Le Spich" in days when " c " and " ch " were interchangeable with " k " ? Compare St. Benet Fink and its adjoining Finch Lane ; the family names Rycill and Rikhill, Racell and Rakell ; and see, on p. 255 as above, " Stukeley " or " Stucley." " Spikenard " (Lat. Spica nardi) was in its essence "Spice- nard," but none of the blood of Spice would have lowered his. spear or spike (Ger. Spei- cher) to an epicier. PERCY HULBURD. The name is borne by a distinguished scholar, Professor Wilfred P. Mustard, of the Johns Hopkins University, editor of ' The Eclogues of Baptista Mantuanus ' (1911) and ' The Eclogues of Faustus Andrelinus and loannes Arnolettus ' (1918). Those who know Professor Mustard's work are at no loss how to interpret the signature W. P. M. which appeared under a communication in vol. ix. of the eleventh series of * N. & Q.* EDWARD BENSLY. MOTTOES : ORIGIN SOUGHT (12 S. ix. 251). 3. According to Wilhelm Binder's ' Novus Thesaurus Adagiorum Latinorum ' (Stutt- gart, 1861), "Dolor est medicina doloris " is given on p. 134 of J. G. Seybold's ' Viri- darium ' (Niirnberg, 1677), a collection of proverbs and maxims. Binder's book is a very poor one, but W. H. D. Suringar, who supplied a large number of additions and corrections in his review of it in fifty pages of the Tijdschrift voor de Nederlandsche Gymnasien voor 1861, had no further information as to the source of this saying. EDWARD BENSLY. FABIUS SEGNIUS AND RAPH. PLACEN- TINUS (12 S. ix. 129, 218). Tiraboschi, in his ' Storia della Letteratura Italiana,' vol. vii., Modena, 1792, p. 1409, after naming Fabio Segni of Florence in a long list of sixteenth- century Italians who wrote Latin poetry, refers his readers for fuller informa- tion to the ' Fasti dell' Accademia Fioren- tina,' p. 92. I have not been able to con- sult this work. Tiraboschi mentions, p. 1438 of the same volume, that Fabio Segni is highly praised in a letter of Pier Vettori, ' Epist.,' Lib. v., p. 123. This letter (the ref . is to ' Petri Victorii Epistolarum Libri X.,' Florence, 1586) is dated Sept. 15, 1564, and begins : " Legi tuum carmen, amice op time, ac libenter quidem, & magna voluptate legi." The Benedictine Rafaelle of Piacenza appears in Tiraboschi, vii. 1433, with references to Cortese, ' Oper.,' ii. p. 190, and Poggiali, ' Stor. Lett, di Piac.,' ii. p. 25. This last I have not seen. Cardinal Cor- tese, ' Omnia quae hue usque colligi potuer- unt, &c.,' Padua,1774, Partii. 190, 190, wrote a letter (date not given) to Raphael of Pia- cenza, and a note in this edition says that Raphael " inter regulares alumnos S. Bene- dicti de Padolirone receptus est anno 1477." There is, of course, no connexion, except of the Monmouth-Macedon sort, between
