   1. Zacharias Lilius, Orbis breviarium. Florence: Antonio di Bartolommeo Miscomini, 5 June 1493 (L‑108). Border cropped. Binding: Seventeenth-century limp parchment, probably for the Bodleain Library; two leather ties lost. ‘A. 4 L 18' across the tail of the fore-edge. Size: 201 × 150 × 31 mm. Size of leaf: 197 × 140 mm. Early marginal notes in the table, mainly providing etymologies of place-names. Provenance (of item 1): George Browne (c.1439-1515), Bishop of Dunkeld; an inscription on r6v: ‘George Browne Bisshop'. Item 1 was listed in the Benefactors' Register I 123, bought in 1605 for money given by Henry Wriothesley (1573-1624), 3rd Earl of Southampton; also James, Catalogus (1620), 294; item 2 is not found in either place, but the binding indicates that the two items have been together since the early years of the Library; in Hyde, Catalogus (1674), II 209, item 2 occurs with the same shelfmark as item 1.
