REPLIES TO MINOR QUERIES.

_Norman Pedigrees_. In reference to your correspondent "B.'s"
inquiries, he will find much information in the Publications de
la Societe des Antiquaires de Normandie. Under their auspices, M.
Estancelin published in 1828 a full history of the Earls of Eu. I am
not aware of any full collection of pedigrees of the companions of
William the Conqueror: the names of several of the lands from which
they took their designations yet remain.

_Norman Pedigrees._--In answer to "B.'s" query (No. 14. p. 214.),
an excellent Gazetteer was published in Paris, 1831, entitled
_Dictionnaire Complet Geographique, Statistique, et Commercial de la
France et de ses Colonies; par M. Briand-de-Verze_, pp. 856. Many of
the names of the Conqueror's Norman companions will be found in that
work; as, for instance, Geoffrey de "_Mandeville_, village. Calvados
arrondissement, 311/2 O.N.O. de Bayeaux," &c.

Norman de _Beauchamp_: three Beauchamps are mentioned; that 51. from
Avranches will be the one in question.

Oxford, Feb. 19. 1850.

_Norman Pedigrees._--Your correspondent "B." (No. 14. p. 214.) would
probably find part of the information he seeks in _Domesday Book, seu
Censualis Willelmi Primi Regis Angliae_. But query? Is "B." right in
supposing the prefix "De" to be _French_? Does it not rather originate
in the _Latin_?

"Domesday" is written in Latin throughout; and the "de," denoting the
place, is there occasionally followed by what seems to be the Latin
ablative case. I copy an example:--

"Canonici de Hansone ten. l. hida de Sansone," (i.e. loc. in
co. Stafford.)

Then of the person it is said--

"Sanson ten. de rege, &c.... iii. hid. trae in Hargedone," &c.

_Translation of AElian._--In answer to the query of "G.M." in No. 15.
p. 232., I beg to state that in Lowndes's _Manual_, vol. i. p. 13., is
the following notice under the head of "AElianus Claudius:"--

"Various Histories translated by T. Stanley, London, 1665,
8vo. 5s. This translation is by the son of the learned editor
of AEschylus, and was reprinted 1670. 1677."

_Ave Trici and Gheeze Ysenoudi._--I regret that I cannot give "H.L.B."
any further information about these ladies than the colophon I
transcribed affords. To me, howev
