Note 133 — NOTES ON THE COLLOTYPE PLATES (Note.—In order to make the illustrations [whether of facsimiles or enlargements] as large and as full as possible, I have sacrificed “appearance” to use and allowed most of the collotype plates, and many of the diagrams in the book, to encroach on the margins.—E. J.)
Reading edition
It is supposed that the book was at first intended as a marriage gift for Alphonso, son of Edward I.
