Summary

Notes on use of numerals and measurements

Table of Contents

The numbers in the rolls are written in Roman numerals, though with more complicated formulas for certain large numbers than those used today. The letter i, standing for one (1), is written as j when standing alone or at the end of a sequence of numbers, as in viij (8) or xij (12). Four (4) is written as iiij rather than iv. The number five (5) is written as v, ten (10) as x and fifty (50) as l.

A superscript c means multiplication by one hundred (100), as in iijc (3 x 100 = 300), though this is occasionally also written as ccc. A superscript ml means multiplication by a thousand (1000), as in vmliijc (5 x 1000 + (3 x 100) = 5,300). The number eighty (80) is written as xx (20) multiplied by iiij (4), the former on top of the latter, as in . This can also included in more complex numbers such as ixcix (9 x 100 + (4 x 20) + 9 = 989).

A superscript lb stands for pounds, used as a measurement only for gunpowder. Bowstrings are given in gross (groce), twelve dozens, or 144.
