Hello all - this is my first post to the list.
Dear Laura
I happened to be looking something else up in Latham's Word-List from
British sources and came across 'historia clara' for clerestory, usage dated
to 1482. But I don't know if this is anywhere near your source in terms of
date or place!
All the best
