Written by an unknown Author soon after the year 1300. During 1988 we were priveleged to be asked to restore and rebind a very small 1804 edition. This we did in a calf leather binding. In the restoration of the text it was necessary to restitch all the sections. At this time, with the kind permission of the owner of the volume, we printed privately a number of enlarged copies of the text and these we have bound to send to a few relatives and friends as a Christmas present from Clarius Publications. Christmas, 1988. To:- John & Viv. From John [Harding?]& (Marguerite?). No other entry online or at the BL! Scarce!!
