Note generali

By William Baldwin and others.

In verse.

A continuation of John Lydgate's "The fall of princes", which is a translation of Giovanni Boccaccio's "De casibus illustrium virorum".

The first two parts of "A mirror for magistrates" were written by John Higgins and Thomas Blenerhasset respectively; this third part was in fact written before the others.

Signatures: [par.]⁴ A⁴ B-N O-U⁴ X-Bb Cc⁴ (+-A2).

Numerous errors in foliation.

With a final contents leaf and a final errata leaf.

Page Aa1r exists in two settings; line 7 has (1) "dilingēce" or (2) "dilygence". Setting 2 is probably later (Folger Library catalogue).

Reproduction of the original in the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery.
