[DCRM-L] (no subject)

[Deborah J. Leslie]

I can't decide whether to create a new record.

http://estc.bl.uk/R7161

The situation: I have in front of me a copy with the same setting of type as represented by the above record, but with a completely different setting of the t.p. and some resetting of the preliminaries. This state seems to be unknown, and I suspect it's the earlier than either of the two states recognized in the ESTC record, since it has no errata at the end of the preface.

The problem: In my copy, the title transcribes differently. "Francisci Willughbeij Armigeri" instead of "Francisci Willughbeii [but should be Willughbeij acc. to practice of the printer] Armig." My copy doesn't qualify as a new edition or issue, just a variant state of preliminaries. But the difference in title proper transcription gives me pause.

Thoughts? Advice?
