With occasional manuscript annotations. Ink inscription after colophon: Est liber michaelis shefellddei. One of a collection of books taken in 1544 from Edinburgh by William Norris of Speke. The books remained in the library of Speke Hall, near Liverpool, until the estate came into the hands of Topham Beauclerk, who sold the contents of the Hall about 1777. They were bought by a Liverpool solicitor, Henry Brown, and at his sale in 1825 by Liverpool Athenaeum. The National Library of Scotland purchased the books from Liverpool Athenaeum in 2008.
