Pagination: This book was paginated using folio numbers in a
recto-verso scheme. The front of each folio is the recto page (the
right-hand page); the back of each folio is the verso page (the
left-hand page in a book). In the original, folio numbers (beginning
after the table of contents) are printed only on the recto side of
each leaf. For the reader's convenience, all folio pages in this
e-book, including the verso pages, have been numbered in brackets
according to the original format, with the addition of "r" for recto
and "v" for verso, e.g., [Fol. x.r] is Folio 10 recto, [Fol. x.v] is
Folio 10 verso.
Sources consulted: The uneven quality of the microfiche scans, as well
as the blackletter font and some ink bleed-through in the original,
made the scans difficult to read in some places. To ensure accuracy,
the transcriber has consulted the facsimile reprint edited by Francis
R. Johnson (Scholars' Facsimiles and Reprints, New York, 1945). The
facsimile reprint was prepared primarily from the Bodleian copy, with
several pages reproduced from the copy in the Chapin Library at
Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts, where the Bodleian copy
was unclear.]
