John Lydgate
Reading edition
Printed at Westminster by William Caxton about the year 1477
Cambridge at the University Press 1905
The unique book here reprinted in facsimile came to the Cambridge University Library in a famous volume of tracts described by Mr Blades (Biography and Typography of W. Caxton, 1882, p. 201).
The volume had formed part of the collection of John Moore, Bishop of Ely, which was given to the University by King George the First in 1715.
The first leaf, which is wanting, was probably blank.

I certify that I have printed 250 copies only of this facsimile, that the impressions have been rubbed off the plates and the negatives destroyed.
