INFRID. GEHWART." I have submitted this inscription to antiquaries
and German scholars in vain; it still remains a puzzle. It has been
suggested that it may have been only an arbitrary mark of the maker.
Is this probable? If not, will you, or one of your readers, give the
interpretation to
CLERICUS?
Nov. 8, 1849.
[We have much pleasure in inserting the foregoing QUERY, and
trust that many of our correspondents will follow the example of
_Clericus_, by furnishing us with copies of the inscriptions on
any ancient church plate in their possession, or which may come
under their notice. A comparison of examples will often serve to
remove such difficulties as the present, which perhaps may be read
DERIN FRID GEHWART, "Therein Peace approved;" _Gewaeren_ being used
in the sense of _Bewaehren_, authority for which may be found in
Wackernagel.]

book-buying friends to the approaching sales of any collections which
may seem to us to deserve their attention; and to any catalogues which
may reach us containing books of great rarity and curiosity.
