Copies

Wanting e9.

Leaf e10 is bound before e1, which from the position of the watermark appears to be its correct place. Gathering e is bound before a1; the order of the texts thus corresponds to the table of contents. Between d2 and d3 is bound another copy of a4.5 which lacks the signature on a4r.

Binding: Nineteenth-century blind-tooled calf for the Bodleian Library; the gold stamp of the Library on both covers.

Size: 204 × 145 × 11 mm.

Size of leaf: 197 × 139 mm.

Occasional sixteenth/seventeenth-century marginal notes.
