Copy-specific note

The 1880 Salisbury Cathedral Library catalogue, and the 1849 description of the library in Beriah Botfield's Notes on the cathedral libraries of England (London, 1849) both note that the date in the colophon is erroneously printed as "1428". Robert Quirk (Cathedral Librarian in the 1940s) added a note on the lower endleaf about the date in the imprint: "The date in the colophon has been altered from 1498 to 1428 by pen and ink". In 2021, the date clearly reads "M. CCCC. xcviij". Very faint marks of additional ink (now brown in colour) can been seen on the lower case "c" (following the "x"), and it does appear that at one time, the "c" may have looked more like a "x". These marks look more like manuscript additions rather than printer's ink.

Copy-specific note

A similar ownership inscription, in a sixteenth-century hand, is found in Cambridge University Library Inc.6.E.3.10[2889], (Oates 3418; ISTC ih00427750), a Dutch book of hours: "Item dit boeck hoert toe / st suster gijsbertgen rijken / dochter die <.>it vint die / gheeft haer weder om / gods wil", which translates as "Item this book belongs to Sister Gysberta, daughter of Ryck(?) (= Richard?) If you find it, give it back to her For Gods will". The hand is similar, but not the same.
