Local Notes

The annotations in brown ink throughout the text were instructions intended for the typesetter to print a new edition designed to save space, i.e., paper. The writing at the top of page 1 reads “en entredos à 48 lineas”; entredós is long primer, modern 10-point. In other words, an instruction to set the text “in 10-point at 48 lines [per page]”. Example of transmission of text from one edition to the next.
Untrimmed.
