[Jane Stemp Wickenden]

Deborah,

 

Just some ideas not being able to hold comparative copies in front of me.

 

If it were me, and I could definitely establish that the text is otherwise a
match, I would add a note "Variant state of title page with transcription
Armigeri on title page, also some differences in preliminaries". But if I
couldn't establish that it was a complete match, I would create a new record
(is it not possible that it is a later state with the errata corrected into
the text?)

 

How far into the [10] p. of preliminaries do the differences extend? Is it
possible, for example, that gathers A-C could be described as cancels? (I
can't make out the collation from the record). 

 

I wonder if any of the many other recorded copies have actually the same
version as yours, but have not noticed...

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

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?
