On ii a in the same hand :
Liber S. Edmundi in quo continentur . . . . . -B: 318
Arithmetica boeeij. cum multis tabulis astronomic.
Musica eiusdem boeeij.
Below this an erased name followed by : 1558 30 Junij Londini.
On iii b at top erased : Joannis... 1561 (?)
I have no doubt that the lost name is that of Dr John Dee.
Halliwell, in his edition of the catalogue of Dee’s MSS (Camd. Soc.,
1842, Diary of John Doe) identified it with no. 167 in the list.
I prefer no. 114, “Boetii Arithmetica, pergameno 4t0”; no. 167
is C.C.C., Oxford, 224.
The book must have been parted with by Dee before his death.
His library was not finally dispersed till 1625-6. See my Lists of
MSS owned by Dr John Dee, Bibliogr. Soc. 1921.

ant sic resoluitur. Pone super particulares sesquiquartos—
