Transcription
Thoresby discusses a rare flower called ‘Iris Lunaris’. He relays the bizarre tale of a group of people being assaulted by a barrage of lightning in Yorkshire. Ralph Thoresby wrote ‘The Topography of Leedes’ in 1715 and was interested in the topography of Yorkshire in general. He maintained a large collection of antiquities and other curiosities at his Musaeum Thoresbyanum in Leeds (P. E. Kell, “Thoresby, Ralph (1658-1725)”, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2006 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/27334, accessed 25 May 2011]).
