Part 3 begins on folio 166 and ends on folio 183 with no colophon or printer's device, followed by 6 leaves.The printer, Richard Fawkes, was born in Normandy and was possibly related to William Faques, the King's printer. His first dated book was issued in 1509 and 2 years later he and others collaborated with Wynkyn de Worde in the production of a Sarum Missal which was printed for them by Raoul Cousturier in Paris. At this period he spelt his name Faques and worked "at the sign of the Maiden's Head in St. Paul's Churchyard." He later changed the spelling of his name to Fakes, then Faukes and finally, as here in the final dated book he issued, Fawkes. The woodcut on the verso of the title-page has the engraver's initials "E.G.", also found in a cut of St. Katherine used by Richard Pynson. "Time has spared very few of his publications, and his books may be treasured among the rarities of the typographical art." (T.F. Dibdin)Provenance: Daniel Rock,1799-1871, Roman Catholic priest (bookplate and signature), plus tipped-in letter relating to the return of this book, along with others, to Sir N. W.
