Provenances of items from which fragments were taken:
(e), (f), and (i) were, presumably, purchases for the Library, given the dates of the printing of the contents and the English, seventeenth-century plain calf (fillets only) ‘Library' bindings with hasps on the upper covers, mottled red-edged leaves, shelfmarks on the fore-edge, etc. The contents of (a) and (d) were, presumably, also purchases for the Library; they are bound in a seventeenth-century reversed plain calf (fillets only) binding (post 1635 for (a) and post 1626 for (d)). From their shelfmarks, items (b) and (g) were probably formerly in the library of John Selden (1584-1654).
