| Remarks |
According to the titlepages, "A briefe description" was written in
1593, and "A plaine treatise" in 1594. A first edition of both works,
along with other material, was printed in 1594, and a second in 1597. The
Helsinki and Penn samples are based on the 1597 edition, which
misnumbers the pages after p. 152 as follows:
153 is misnumbered as 151,
154 as 151 (sic),
155 as 152,
156 as 155,
157 as 156,
158 as 157,
159 as 158,
160 as 157 (sic),
161 as 158,
162 as 161,
163 as 162,
etc.
P. 153 (misnumbered as 151) is omitted from the corpus because it
consists entirely of duplicate material (the recto is the recto of the
following page, and the verso is the verso of the preceding page).
For ease of reference when consulting the facsimile edition, the page
numbers cited in the sample selection section above give the incorrect
numbers as they appear in the edition. The corpus gives both the
correct and the incorrect numbers. |
