Inscription (on fly-leaf from an earlier binding): 1808; inscription (on fly-leaf from an earlier binding): This scarce and little known volume is interesting and even valuable (within its own sphere) in itself; but it gathers an added interest to my eye from having been printed by old "Michael Johnson" of Lichfield, father of Dr. Johnson. A.B.G.; inscription: The pamphlet bound at the end is a very foolish and violent attack on the Apocrypha. It was a mistake to have bound it here. The note opposite is, I suppose, Grosart's. Sir John Floyer published also in 1713 a prose translation of the first seven and part of the eighth books of the Sibylline Oracles, with comments. Deane's Pseudopigrapha p. 284.
