Early English marginal notes mainly structuring the text; interlinear notes provide synonyms.
Partial rubrication: on a1r, b5v, b11r-v, and b12r initials and paragraph marks are supplied in red, with capital strokes in red. Foliation in pencil: 364-403, continuing the earlier ink pagination of item 1.
Provenance: Joseph Maynard (1607?–1670); inscription on a1r of item 1: ‘Liber Bib. Bodleianæ ex dono Josephi Maynard in Artibus magistri et Socii Coll. Exon̄ Anno Domini 1635'. Given the similarities in the manuscript annotations in items 1 and 2 (for instance, the rubrication of some marginal notes), these two items were probably travelling together from the sixteenth century, and would, therefore, both have been presented in 1635; all three items were certainly together by 1674 (see below).
Former Bodleian shelfmark: 4° G 46 Art along the fore-edge; all three items with this shelfmark in 1674 (item 1 p. 137; item 2 p. 162; item 3 p. 213).
SHELFMARK: Auct. N 5.8(2).
