Notes
Dated "[M]DLXVII" on title page. John Scott notes that the Detectio Mariae circulated in manuscript after 1568 and was initially printed in 1571. However, this copy was probably made from the first printed edition of 1571, as the text and shoulder notes are identical to the printed edition.
Lacking p. 59-60 and incomplete at end.
Shoulder notes summarizing the main text and catchwords throughout.
The text of Actio contra Mariam Scotorum reginam and Literae Reginae Scot. ad comitem Bothuelium scriptae are now attributed to Thomas Wilson.--Cf. Early English Books Online, accessed 14 September 2012
