Note
The following sections follow Ussher's essay: (1) "Veterum testimonia de Ignatio, & ejus epistolis" (caption title) begins new pagination and register. Within this series, (2) "Polycarpiana epistolarum Ignatianarum sylloge" and (3) "Epistolæ B. Ignatio adscriptæ" each have divisional title; (4) "Epistolarum Ignatii vetus Latina versio" has separate title page dated 1642. (5) "In Polycarpianam epistolarum Ignatianarum syllogen annotationes" (Wing U185) has separate pagination, register, and dated title page with "excudebat Henricus Hall" in imprint. The latter title is printed on 3A4 of the preceding section; A1 of this section contained an earlier title page, intended to be cancelled: Græcorum Ignatii exemplarium, et inter se & cum utrâque vetere Latinâ interpretatione comparatio.
Note
Sections 1-4 (through p. 238) were salvaged from an edition accidentally burnt while being printed by Lichfield in 1642 (Wing I37, Madan 1685). The remainder of the book, including the general title page, was printed by Henry Hall, and the whole was completed in late March 1645 (Madan).
Note
Variant: general title-page imprint has "Licfield".
Note
The last leaf is blank.
