Until the last century, Latin was the major language used in many educational systems throughout Europe. Many inscriptions in books are in Latin, with many personal names Latinised, for example Joannes Brocus (John Brock), and here: ‘ex dono Guilholmi Griffith de Kichley’, who is William Griffith of Kichley.
