Peter; on v.3 leaf Aa2 'Thomas Peter pret: 5s' (i.e. Thomas Peter, (d. 1618) Rector of St. Mawgan in Pydar.). In ink on t-p, in different, secretary, hands: (crossed out) 'This is John Jones his booke...' (and elsewhere, including on v.3 Aa2 with an illegible price); 'Thomas Ashford'; 'Sui cuisque mores fingunt fortunam'; (in perhaps the same hand as the previous) 'Lege relege'. In ink on final leaf: in secretary hand, 'Boughte off Rychard Coulthurste the Fyrste off February Anno Domini 1574'; in italic hand but following the above and in the same colour ink 'Vive Deo Zacharie Jenkinson'; in secretary hand 'Nathaniall Wilson'.. Binding: Sewn on double supports. Sixteenth-century calf, tooled with rolls (bee, bird and deer? with letter 'R') in crossed frame, with fleruons inside. Marks of clasps on fore-edges of boards.
