<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bell profile & particular canon form/ornamentation appear way to early to be 18th c.[see; photo attachments]. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The lettering style has been described by my correspondent as 'inconsistent' and even 'childish'... I shall inspect for any other potential clues &/or foundr's marks.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But I agree about the translations - 'Nicolaus (the) Angel made me'.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers,</DIV>

<DIV>> I think 'Nicolaus Angelus me fecit' simply means 'Nicolaus Angelus (Nicholas Angel) made me'.<BR>> <BR>> Nicolaus Angelus (1695 - 1782) was an Augustinian who became the Titular Bishop of Porphyreon - a bishop for 18 years<BR>> <BR>> Could this bell have been cast while Nicolaus Angelus was bishop? <BR>> <BR>> Cathryn Corns<BR><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></td></tr></table>
