"Matthæi Parisiensis additamenta" has separate title page dated 1639 with Flesher's name in imprint; pagination and register are continuous. "Matthæi Paris, in majorem historiam Anglorum post conquisitionem Angliæ a duce Normannorum Willielmo. Prologus" begins with a caption title on signature B1 and has separate pagination

Includes indexes

Text is continuous despite pagination
