⁂ The original manuscript, written in a late fifteenth century hand for the nuns of St. Clare, belonged to Lord Vernon and was bought by Hornby at the sale of Vernon's library at Sotheby's in 1918. "Another neglected Ashendene book: owners should take a more intelligent interest than to close it after admiring type...This and Omar Khayyam are the two Ashendenes which rank as serious critical editions". (Franklin). Scarce with printer's inscription.

J.W. Carter, likely John Waynflete Carter (1905-1975), English author and bibliographer, who worked at Sotheby's and wrote An Enquiry into Certain 19^th Century Pamphlets which exposed Thomas J. Wise as a forger. He is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the Anglo-American book world.
