General notes

Approximately 82% of Milton's text in Book 1 is from George Downame's "Commentarii" in Petrus Ramus "Dialecticae libri duo" (1669 edition); in Book 2 approximately 73% derives from Downame's text. Milton was in effect editing Downame's commentary, purging it of postclassical examples. Cf. Lusignan, Francine. L'Artis Logicae plenior institutio de John Milton: etat de la question et position (unpublished Ph.D. thesis, University of Montreal, 1974) The engraved portrait (A2v) is from the painting by William Faithorne and is signed: W. Dolle sculpsit The first leaf is blank Page 228 is misnumbered 223 Leaf A11 is signed B1; A12 is unsigned and replaces B2; B1 and 2 are cancelled, with stubs and sometimes several letters of text visible
