Pickeringe

DATE: 1616 and c1630-50

Page measurements: 296-7 x 200 mm

Pedagogical book in upright folio format. The covers have been laid down as doublures on new covers shortly after 1868. They show the Royal coat of armsof James I, indicating that it was originally bound up during his reign, possibly for one of his musicians or a member of his household, though the arms block is not one that appearson bindings from the Old Royal Library. James came to the throne in 1603, and Jane Pickeringe signs f.1v with her name and the date 1616, so the book was bound up some time between these two dates. The initials I.P. are stamped on the cover. The British Museum attempted unsuccessfully to link Jane Pickeringe to Sir John Puckering (or Pickeringe), and to Sir Thomas Puckering, but both of these connections proved to be flawed, and had to be discarded. So far, Jane Pickeringe's family remains unidentified. The manuscript also contains the names Mrs Manwareringe and Naomi Hopwood, who were probably later 18th and 19th century owners of the book. The Yorkshire Protestant family of Sir William Pickeringe (1516-75), a gentleman and diplomat, may also be candidates for Jane's ancestors. However, he fell out of favour during the reign of Mary and his family may not have re-established their original ties to the monarchy. Love mentions a William Pickeringe who, after the assassination of the Duke of Buckingham in 1628, came under suspicion because of his friendship with Alexander Gill who had expressed sympathy with the killing. A search of Pickeringe's chambers and person revealed notes from Gill relating to Buckingham. This close connection with the court may furnish another candidate for Jane's family, possibly from the same Yorkshire family, who do not seem to have been strangers to political intrigue.[1]
