Marginal and interlinear annotations, mostly in one seventeenth-century hand (that of Junius?), including cross-references, extraction of key words, corrections to and underlining in the text, also pointing hands. Scribbles and pen-trials, apparently by Sampson Price and others, particularly on A1r.
Provenance: ‘1506, 2s 8d‘; inscription on QQ6r. David Ireland (sixteenth century); inscription on A1r: ‘David Ireland owes this booke'. Other names in sixteenth-century hands on the same leaf, including William Atkins, Thomas Edwardes, and Thomas Moris; also numbers, perhaps shelfmarks or ledger numbers, ‘5354' and ‘58'. Thomas Price, sixteenth century; signatures or inscriptions on R8v, X7v, and BB6v (‘Thomas Price est verus'). John Mar; signature on II3v. Sampson Price (1585-1630); inscription on A1r: ‘Sampson Price is the true owner of this booke. Witnesse Thomas Grom, Frauncis Venables'; Thomas Grom is probably to be identified with Thomas Groom (b. 1589); Venables has not been identified. Francis Junius (1589-1677).
