Notes

There are manuscript notes throughout.

Without pagination, catch words or signatures: 355 leaves, of which the 19th (wanting in this copy) and the last, are blank: there are 50 lines to a full page.

There is an illuminated border to the first page, the initial letters to the Books are finely illuminated, and those to each paragraph supplied in colour, but not always correctly.

Leaf 20 and leaf 346 have been supplied from a later edition, and the initial letters are in inferior pigments.
