Bookseller ticket to inside board of volume I.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEARLY HANDWRITTEN NOTES AND NUMEROUS ANNOTATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith early 17th century scholarly manuscript notes to the front endpaper of volume I, almost certainly written by someone with a serious classical\/theological education. It is predominantly Latin, with a substantial passage in Hebrew, and it contains numerous references to classical and Biblical authorities. The writer appears rather sophisticated: assembling cross-references or commonplace notes from numerous authorities, rather than simply commenting on the text immediately alongside him. The writer has collected memorable observations and references under subjects connected with Aristotle: philosophy, prophecy, chronology, religion, human knowledge, wisdom and learning.There are also numerous manuscript annotations to the margins throughout both volumes as well as some neat underlining. There are also hand-made small vellum tabs inserted as page markers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery good. Both bindings are good with a small piece of vellum missing from the top of volume I. Endpapers good. All contents present to both volumes. Volume II has had repairs to a few pages where the scholar has replaced some missing text with hand-written text, so effectively text all there. Pages good throughout. Overall a very good copy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(Platform)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Gently Mad Book Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64783532589433,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/3496\/4020\/files\/aris.jpg?v=1791120353","url":"https:\/\/thegentlymadbookshop.co.uk\/products\/1606-aristotelis-scholarly-manuscript-annotations-2-vols-vellum-aristotle","provider":"The Gently Mad Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
