Sloane 1579 as printer's copy, see A. C. de la Mare and L. Hellinga, ‘The First Book Printed in Oxford: The Expositio in symbolum apostolorum’, Transactions of the Cambridge Bibliographical Society, 7 (1978), 184-244; on p. 231 the assertion that this edition is a ‘Ps-Jerome commentary' unrelated to Rufinus is not correct.
