FOUND IT. From this You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (with no citation either. There is a general citation to Capelli, but I fail to find anything specific upon F in his chapter on Roman numerals):
Quote:40
F
Presumed abbreviation of English forty.
Hmmm.....
Well that's problematic...
Sherwood says the VMS text is Italian, but she uses a questionable ENGLISH abbreviation for forty (F is also an abbreviation for many other words).
David, thank you for the other information in your post as well. All very interesting.
