There are two manuscript signatures, in different hands, of "Balmerino" on the title page. The first is dated "1651" and the other "1672". There is also the signature "Balmerino 22 August 1662" at the foot of B2v. Below that is a Greek inscription "So aria mole ktematon athanaton". A letter pasted to front pastedown dated 1929 "Dear W. Dickson, I find that the accompanying volume of [...] was not sent up with the Blackie books as I [...] on approval. I venture to think this is why with the autographs of the three Balmerino's [...] is well worth preservation in the National Library along with the [...] first edition in the [...] Geo. P. Johnston". Manuscript inscriptions throughout the text and five leaves of additional notes dated 1698-9 are bound in between pages 252-3, in the hand of John Elphinstone, 3rd Lord Balmerino.
