Swiss 94 B.Oberland? Looks more like the Museum Building in Trinity.

Congratulation for your beautiful Album.

I'm thinking Trinity and Shakespeare?

Swiss 94 B.Oberland was also used for this photo, a Clonbrock code?

A google photosphere inside the Museum building which the Lemur called above. Looks like a match to me!

The 'virtual tour' is fun to fiddle with; scroll down page - www.visittrinity.ie/venue/examination-hall/

“Made from carved Portland stone and granite and designed by King George III’s architect Sir William Chambers, the Examination Hall was completed in 1786 and mirrored the Chapel, which stands opposite it on Front Square.” www.visittrinity.ie/venue/examination-hall/

All the excitement in the Examination Hall seems to have taken place in the 1830s: Saunders's News-Letter - Thursday 29 November 1832:

On Tuesday, as the Vice-Provost of Trinity College was leaving the Examination Hall of Trinity College, his gold watch was stolen from his person by some well dressed delinquent, who escaped undiscovered.

What a cad to be well dressed, and not like a scrofulous tatterdemalion from Oliver Twist. Dublin Evening Post - Saturday 21 September 1833:

COLLEGE-STREET POLICE OFFlCE — Thursday. ■ Nagle v. Connolly. Mr. M'Dermott as counsel for the plaintiff in this case, stated that on Tuesday evening a porter fell from scaffold at the top of the Examination Hall in Trinity College, Mr. Nagle came to his assistance very humanely. He was engaged in this duty when Surgeon Connolly came in; observed Dr. Nagle putting the patient’s broken hand down. He put his hand over Surgeon Connolly, who pushed it aside, and asked sent for him ? After some little time Surgeon Connolly committed slight assault ; for this summons had had been issued. After the case had been gone into, Mr. Gabbett recommended an amicable arrangement between the parties. This was not acceded to, and another witness was examined as to the facts connected with the assault. Mr. Gabbett again recommended conciliating Doctor Nagle. Mr. Gabbett said, if Doctor Nagle persisted in asking for his information being taken, the case should sent for trial, which was acquiesced in.

The Dublin Observer went into a bit more detail

Surgeon Connolly turned round and smote him across the face sans ceremonie. Nagle remarked "that’s very ungentlemanlike conduct on your part Mr. Connolly towards me,” when Connolly turned away and said "you know where to find me". Several students went after him and demanded what his reason was for so acting, when my client interfered and told them not to mind him as he was too contemptible to be taken any notice of

And finally the Dublin Morning Register - Tuesday 11 August 1835. Not quite as exciting as two distinguished medics having a scrap over a patient, but it made the papers.

We regret to state that Sir Charles Morgan was obliged to leave the Examination Hall of Trinity College, yesterday, in consequence of a sudden and severe bout of illness.

"A severe bout of illness", no less. Poor Sir Charles. PS SIr Charles Morgan died of apoplexy in 1843.

Qui sint, or Qui fuit? It only makes a difference to the tense. "That was Eli" or "Who was Eli", not necessarily a question.

Nigel Leyland I agree with 'fuit'. 'Sunt' would be present plural, and that doesn't make sense with e.g. Amos.

It's actually from the Vulgate - Luke 3 verses 23-38 www.biblestudytools.com/vul/luke/3.html

Translated (with bits before and after for context) 21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” 23 Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph, the son of Heli, 24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melki, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph, 25 the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, 26 the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josek, the son of Joda, 27 the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, 28 the son of Melki, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er, 29 the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, 30 the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim, 31 the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David, 32 the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon,[d] the son of Nahshon, 33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram,[e] the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, 34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, 35 the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, 36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, 37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Kenan, 38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.
