Binding The binding is not original.

Initially rebound in the eighteenth-century (somewhat out oforder); current binding created in England, in mid-twentiethcentury; red leather with gilded crest of the current Englishmonarchy on the upper cover; tooled decoration with giltlettering on spine: "BRITISH COATS OF ARMS."

Provenance Likely created in England for William Spencer ca. 1589;his inscription on flyleaf iv: "William Spencer His Book;"manuscript stayed in Spencer family for some time, indicatedby inscription on flyleaf v: "(?) Spencer 1633" accompaniedby the Spencer family motto "Dieu defende Le Droit" (Goddefends the right)

Inserted eighteenth-century paper fragment discussingsimilar manuscript is dated and possibly initialed "8July 1779. WW.," suggesting possible eighteenth-centuryownership
