- the 13th century chronicle (CHRONIQUE D’ERNOUL ET DE BERNARD LE TRÉSORIER) : You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
- the 14th century Œuvres de Froissart You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
etc.
It's not listed in Anglo-Norman variant spellings: Angleterre; Engleter, Engletere, Engletterre; Engliter, Englitere, Engliterre in this dictionary: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Interesting. I also came across both ernoul and Froissart on the munchener library while I was looking. Although I came across Ernoul accidentally with "Angletiere", Engletiere is used there. There are a decent amounts of hits for Engletiere on the library, which is why I said that it seems to be a real variant:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Froissart example:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Ernoul example:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Either way, what other reason would someone have for inscribing England on their astrolabe unless they are nearby?
