Summary
Notes
General notes
Bound, leaves of variant sizes The main hand in the manuscript is not Southwell's. Most of the contents have been written by several contemporaneous hands and one earlier hand. Sometimes the hand is scribal with autograph additions (leaves 2r, 5v, 13r, 22v, 29v, 31v-35r, 39r, 42v-43v, 47v-55r), but some stanzas of Decalogue poetry are in Southwell's autograph (leaves 40r, 44v-46r, 57r-58v). Southwell's signature appears at the bottom on fol 2r (after Ralegh's "The Lie"). Corrections tipped in on leaf 41. The earlier hand of John Sibthorpe, possibly the father of Henry Sibthorpe, Southwell's second husband, dated 1587 and 1588, appears on leaves 5r, 6r, 6v, 62r-66r Spine label: Lady Southwell's Works / 62.
