NotesThe colophon reads; (1486), 'the day aftir seint Edward the kyng', and is taken by Duff and Oates to refer to St Edward the Confessor (whose translation was honoured on 13 Oct.), rather than to St Edward King and Martyr, honoured on 18 March (Madan, Proctor, Sheppard). Rood used the style of the Incarnation, commencing the year on 25 March (Sheppard). Variant settings of quires h,i noted between the two Bodley copies (Sheppard)
The printing has been attributed to Theodoricus Rood (cf. BMC)
