'''Editorial history'''

08/08/12: CSG, Created page
08/08/12: CSG, Copied content from bron.wikispot.org Commodities page
20/08/12: WT added 'Rosemary', 'Cheese', 'Pictures', 'Sheep Skins', 'Cloves', 'China Rootes', 'Comin seeds', 'Ffennell', 'Almonds', 'Saffron', 'Vinegar', 'Annise Seeds', 'Calve Skins', 'Malt', 'Barley', eg for 'Pilchards', 'Figgs'
21/08/12: WT added egs for 'Looking Glasses', 'Wainscotts' and 'Iron'
21/08/12: CSG commented on WT's addition: William, this is great. Could you expand the "Rosemary" phrase a little, since there is a floating verb? Also could you use "v" vor verso, and "r" for recto, to the format "f.XXr" and "f.XXv". And if no folio no., then "f. no fol. no.". I know I haven't been consistent myself, but I am gradually cleaning up the Terms and Dictionary pages to this format. All opening words, as you have done, with capitals, exept double "f", i.e. "ffXXX", not "FfXXX"
