Provenance and Acquisition

This volume may doubtfully be taken to represent the 'Anon. in Iule' (i. e. Jure?), which appears among the Folio Law books in the earliest catalogue (1602). It has a neglected appearance, and escaped the 1605 catalogue, first appearing (as T. 11. 11 Jur.) in the 1620 lists, though the entry of it in the handlist of 1614 may be of that date
