- Reposted by Hannah WygieraA Chancery case I’m looking at from the 1650s has two parties fighting over custody of a “Spleene Stone” worth £10. I’ve never heard of a spleen stone before! Does anyone have any insights? OED says: a stone supposed to cure disorders of the spleen. But could it also be related to anger issues?
