Dr. Tovey copied the above from a deed existing in the college treasury.
The doctor was certainly more gifted in copying Latin or French than
in copying Hebrew. There is a Hebrew postscript to the above deed――as
was generally the case in those olden times, when a deed was drawn up
between a Christian and a Jew――but our antiquary copied it so badly,
that it was rendered difficult to make any sense of the writing. Dr.
Jost, however, very likely restored it to its proper reading, which is
the following:――
אני יעקב בן רב משה דלונדרש מודה שכל הכתוב למעלח בלשין לטין בלי מחק והדרה [or וחזרה] הודיתי בעבורי ובעבור
יורשי שיחיח שריר וקים וטב ובעבור אשתי הודיתי שיהיה שריר וקים ׃ הזה שהודיתי כתבתי וחתמתי בעבורי ובעבור אשתי חנה
יעקב בן רב משה דלונדרש׃
_Anglia Judaica_, p. 182. _Geschichte der Israeliten_, vol. vii.,
p. 407.
There are two seals attached to that charter, bearing an impression of
some unknown four-footed beast.

Mandatum est Constab. Oxon: quod omnes Judæos quos cepit et captos tenet
in Castro Oxon: occasione cujusdam parvi Conversi et Baptizati, qui
dicebatur per ipsos Judæos raptus esse, et qui jam inventus est apud
Oxon, sine dilatione deliberet.
Test. R. apud West. 4 die Novem.――_Claus._ 21, H. 3, pars 1, m. 22.

Præceptum fuit Constabulario castri _Oxoniæ_ et _Cyrographo_ Christiano
et Judeo Archæ Cyrograph: ejusdem; quod per sacramentum 12 Judeorum
inquirant, quæ bona et catalla _Jacobus Baseni de Oxon_: Judeus _Oxon._
interfectus, habuit die quo interfectus fuit. Eodem modo præceptum
est Ballivis Oxon: quod per sacramentum 12 Christianorum inquirant quæ
catalla dictus _Jacobus_ habuit die quo interfectus fuit, &c.
