Transcriber's Note
Archaic spelling is preserved as printed.
Inconsistent hyphenation is preserved as printed.
Minor punctuation and accent usage errors have been repaired.
The following amendments have been made:
Page 56--theee amended to thee--"... and it shale make
thee light and merrie."
Page 66--the footnote marker for note 53 was omitted. The
transcriber has added it in what appeared to be the
appropriate place.
Page 67--B. amended to M.--"... and Mr. H. M. Barlow[2]
supports the deduction that ..."
Page 104--Zouch amended to Zouche--"Lord Zouche sent him
rare seeds from Crete, Spain and Italy."
Page 178--presumaby amended to presumably--"Lady Sedley,
the first owner, and presumably author of the book, ..."
Page 234--ΦΥΤΟΒΑΣΑΝΟΣ originally had a roman C as the
final letter. This has been amended.
The following items were of note:
Page 197--the word 'me' in "Agnus castus ys an herbe that
me clapys Tustans or Porke levys" may be a typographic
error for mē. As it is quoted material, and the
transcriber has been unable to confirm one way or the
other, it has been preserved as printed.
Page 226--it appears that the word 'cetera' has been omitted
following a Tironian et. This has been preserved as
printed--"1484. Herbarius Maguntie impressus. Anno [et]
CLXXXIV."
The frontispiece has been moved to follow the title page. Other
illustrations have been moved where necessary so that they were not in
the middle of a paragraph.
