Second Wynkyn de Worde edition, an English incunable, one of seven copies known. The remaining copies are held by Lambeth Palace, Corpus Christi (Oxford), the Bodleian Library and the John Rylands Library in the United Kingdom, and the Folger Library and the Grolier Glub in the United States. Written between 1422 and 1432, the Provinciale is the classic account of English canon law, collecting the most important ecclesiastical degrees enacted by the archbishops of Canterbury between the Council of Oxford in 1222 and the archiepiscopate of Henry Chichele, at whose encouragement the book was written. 'The Reformation did not curtail its currency in England. Because the scope of ecclesiastical jurisdiction in England was not fundamentally changed during the sixteenth century, ecclesiastical lawyers continued to use the Provinciale . Its influence has been quite long-lasting. Edmund Gibson testified to its influence upon later generations in his Codex juris ecclesiastici Anglicani (1713), and in the twentieth century it was used in the draft revision of English canon law of 1947 produced by the Vaisey Commission . The relevance of its treatment of English ecclesiastical practice recommended it even to English common lawyers. Their citation of the glosses of the Provinciale when questions of ecclesiastical law arose in the royal courts is a continuing feature in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century reports' (R. H. Helmholz in ODNB ). In the nineteenth century it was the subject of a now legendary debate between F. W. Maitland and William Stubbs on the authority of provincial versus papal legislation in the medieval period. The work was first printed at Oxford in 1483 by Theodoric Rood, and by Wynkyn in 1496. A copy of the 1496 edition was sold at Sotheby's in 1987 (23 October); four copies of Rood's edition (all imperfect) were sold there between 1913 and 1947. Wynkyn's 1499 edition is noteworthy as one of the last books he printed before leaving his Westminster premises for London in 1500/01, a move which has been identified with a new publishing policy by which Wynkyn 'turned away from the courtly material favoured by Caxton , which had led him to settle at Westminster, to religious, popular, and educational books, which were better distributed from London' (N. F. Blake in ODNB ). We trace no copy of the 1499 edition in auction records.

Leaf 6R4 is cancelled. Includes an undated letter from Dr Richard Luckett, Pepys Librarian & Keeper of the Old Library, Magdalene College, Cambridge, to John Lawson discussing the signature 'Pepys' to the tiltle page. The view taken was that the signature was unfortunately not characteristic of the diarist & and naval administrator Samuel Pepys (1633–1703) and that the shelf marks had no Pepysian significance. In his view and that of the Assistant Librarian Robert Latham the binding was also not 'remotely like anything he had done'.

Pirie, with his bookplate to front endpaper. Wing W3163; Grolier 1066; Huth 8149; Bibliotheca Anglo-Poetica 816. The turbulent career of George Wither (1588-1667) reflects the upheavals in English history during the Jacobean, Caroline and Commonwealth periods. Imprisoned on several occasions for perceived libel, Wither became an outspoken supporter of Cromwell and the protectorate. In the last days of the Commonwealth, Wither had resided at Hambledon in Hampshire, but returned to London during the summer of 1660, where his papers were searched and the unpublished verse manuscript Vox Vulgi discovered, in which he criticised the reactionary temper of the House of Commons. He was arrested in August 1660, and committed to Newgate Prison, where he remained for three years. The present work was written and published during this period, and includes the author's own poetical accounts of what had befallen him, and pleas of innocence. According to Aubrey's Brief Lives, Wither owed his life to the intervention of Sir John Denham, after he was captured by Royalist forces in 1642. Denham apparently stated that "Whilest G. W. lived, he [Sir John Denham] should not be the worst poet in England".
