noteOn 2a, the name Samuel Fleming is inscribed above the title. The same hand is responsible for numerous annotations throughout the book. The dates of ownership are approximate, and are based on the period in which Fleming was alive and likely to be acquiring books. On Fleming's ownership of this book, see also Dennis E. Rhodes, A Catalogue of Incunabula in all the Libraries of Oxford University outside the Bodleian (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1982), p. 191.

msNoteFleming is responsible for short bursts of intensive annotations throughout this book in a very small and neat hand written in dark brown ink. Fleming also adds some reading marks including underlining and manicules. He may also be responsible for the marginal drawing of a face that occurs about half way through the book.
