Note

Place and date of production inferred from an entry in Eton College Audit Book for 1615, recording the binding of a newly-written 'Balsamon grece' given by the Provost (Henry Savile, provost 1595-1622) to the College, and for sewing and covering the old copy of it which was taken asunder to be transcribed. It is not certain whether this is the old or new copy. Given that two copies are recorded by Bernard in 1697, it is possible that both were in the Library for a time.
