Manuscript notesThis copy, like at least three others, has a ms. correction to the misprinted signature on α3r, "α δ": the "δ" has been lined through and "γ" written in; in all four cases, the slant of the line and the placement of the correction is the same, suggesting a correction in the printing house.
