Inscription on the title page "J De Cahaignes", in a formal late 16th or early 17th-century hand. Marginalia throughout the volume, in a contemporary hand identified as that of Jofrancus Offusius, a Westphalian astronomer active in Paris after 1550. This volume, which has been identified as the original copy, is one of eight containing similar annotations in eight different hands. Bound in at the back is an account entitled "Argumenta sex singulorum Copernici librorum, in quibus de revolutionibus tractatur" written apparently in the same hand. This and the other seven copies are discussed by Jerzy Dobrycki and Owen Gingerich, "The master of the 1550 radices: Joffrancus Offusius" in the 'Journal for the History of Astronomy, xxiv (1993), pp. 235-53', and Owen Gingerich, "An annotated census of Copernicus De Revolutionibus Nuremberg 1543 and Basel 1566."
