For this copy see Coates–Jensen 256, no. 25.
Wanting the blank leaf R6. A2 signed A1.
Binding: Contemporary English blind-tooled calf, rebacked. Triple fillets form a double frame. Within the outer frame, a roll of flowers enclosed within lozenge-shaped rope. On the inner rectangle four rolls are impressed in vertical stripes: two different rolls: the four-petalled flower roll and a smaller version of the same. Sheppard refers to Oldham, Blind-stamped Bindings, pl. xxxix, roll 597(?), but this seems not to be correct. The binding may be a remboîtage.

Manuscript note by Douce on a slip of paper now pasted onto front endleaf.
Provenance: John Veyzey (fifteenth/sixteenth century); inscription on A1r: ‘Dompnus Jhon veyzey monachus'. Robert Chapman (fl. 1489-1493); inscription on the same leaf: ‘huius monisterij de quo Ihesu haue marci yn hys sooll[ ] Amen quod Roberttus chepman Amen'. John Bury[ ](?) (sixteenth century?); signature on X6v. Francis Douce (1757-1834); see manuscript note above. Thomas Combe (1797-1872). Acquired in 1845 from Combe; see inserted letter to Dr Bandinel, dated 21 May 1845: ‘I bought this copy of Paratus at a Bookseller's in Oxford. It evidently has belonged to Douce, whether it formed part of your collection or escaped before I cannot say'. This book was apparently not part of Douce's bequest; see Catalogue of the Printed Books and Manuscripts bequeathed by Francis Douce . . . to the Bodleian Library, ed. H. Symonds et al. (Oxford, 1840).
SHELFMARK: Douce 311.
