Second copy
For this copy see M. J. Sommerlad, 'The Historical and Antiquarian Interests of Thomas Tanner, 1674-1735, Bishop of St Asaph', unpublished D.Phil. thesis, University of Oxford, 1962, 410-13, Appendix A (where shelfmark is incorrectly given as Tanner 905). Sommerlad also discusses the disposal of what had been the Library's third copy of this work, then shelfmarked Auct. 2Q 5.12. This was sold by the Bodleian as a purchase-duplicate in the Sotheby's duplicate sale on 21 May 1862, lot 1485, for £110 5s. 0d., although it had been received by the Library among the books of Archbishop William Laud. It is now Cambridge, University Library, Inc.5.J.4.1[3632]. See also J. C. T. Oates, 'The Sale of a Duplicate', Bodleian Library Record, 3,32 (1951), 175-6.
Wanting gatherings a–c, d1, f4,5, and z1.
Binding: Early nineteenth-century half blue(?) morocco over cloth; watermark on one of the endleaves is dated 1816 (Sommerlad 411).
Size: 199 × 145 × 30 mm.
Size of leaf: 191 × 135 mm.
'32' in brown ink in the upper right-hand corner of d2r. 'Duplicate' and collation of the copy signed by Henry Cotton (Bodleian Sub-librarian 1814-22) in brown ink, on the front endleaf (see Sommerlad 412, note 1, who suggests that '[t]hese endorsements were probably made in preparation for binding (circa 1816)'). Manuscript foliation: 1-8 only. A few marginal notes, mainly extracting key words, and ‘nota' marks in an early English hand, in light brown ink, probably in the hand that wrote ‘Berkeley' on z6v.
