Footnotes
Nixon notes that the two cover panels are found as a pair "on all fourteen bindings" where the Tudor rose panel appears; "we may be reasonably certain that this book was bound in Godfrey's shop, since he is referred to by Roger Ascham in his Toxophilus as 'Garret our bookebynder'".
Provenance: Various early pen trials and ownership inscriptions including those of John Jones and John Taylor. See illustration on preceding page.
