Mixture of “Arabic” with “Roman” Numerals During the Time of Transition

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 September 2017

Extract

Probably the most interesting example of this mixture is that given by Mr. R. Steele in the Introduction (p. xvii) to The Earliest Arithmetics in English, where he quotes from a British Museum MS. (Harl. 4350) a set of dates of successive births

These form an early example, for Britain, of the transition.
