Description: Notes in several different hands (16th- and early 17th-century) on title-page, upper endpapers, inside lower cover, and in margins, in Latin, English, and, occasionally, Greek; some are trimmed. The marginal notes are mostly names of plants, in Latin and English. The hands (of which there are perhaps 5?) appear to include those of John Smith, Gilbert Diglen (fol. 19 verso?), and John West (eg. fol. 74).
Inscription on title-page, in a later 16th?-century hand: "Gilb[ert] Diglen. Christi: Coll: Canta:", with motto "Guardiano mio e Dio". Gilbert Diglande, 1570-1668, also known as Diglen, matric. pens. from Christ’s (Cambridge), June, 1588, from Warwickshire. He moved to St Edmund Hall, Oxford, 22 Oct., 1591, age 21; B.A. from St Alban’s Hall, Oxford, 1592, as Diglen.--A Cambridge Alumni Database (Venn).
IS monogram (of John Smith) on title-page, in two different inks, following notes in Latin; and "John Smith", below what is perhaps a price, partly trimmed.This is perhaps John Smith, nephew of Richard Smith the founder of Lincoln Christ’s Hospital School, who practised medicine in London 1591-1620.
