![cuts, e.g. on [mi b] No. 21, on [ax b~\ No. 17, on [16 £] a cut showing angels supporting a shield on which are the emblems of the Passion. On [12 b~\ is a cut representing a shepherd finding his way by observation of the stars with an instrument. This appears at first sight identical with one used by Guyot Marchant at Paris and Nicolas Le Rouge at Troyes (Monceaux, i. 145), but on inspection proves to be a close imitation of it. There are also in the book a large number of other cuts, of German origin, and the calli- graphic initials reproduced by M. Monceaux (ii. 176) are used throughout. For further information as to this book, see Dr. H. O. Sommer’s Prolego- mena to his facsimile reprint of it, London, 1892. The Chatsworth copy, from which this reprint was made, is the only perfedt one known. Type: This type is only known to exist elsewhere in a single leaf of an unknown edition of Alexander Barclay’s Castle of Labour, discovered by Mr. Gordon Duff among the Bagford collections (Harl. 5919, No. 215).](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28040181_0076.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
