page 66 note * Now in Trinity College, Dublin. Bern. 148, (H. 12.)
page 66 note † Now MS. Cotton. Vespas. B. x. thus inscribed by Dr. Dee's hand, “Johannes Dee, 1565, Februavii 21, Wigornire, ex dono decani ecclesise, Magistri Beddar.”
page 67 note * This MS. is now in the Cottonian library, Vespas. A. x. “Joannes Dee, 1574, Maij 7, bowght uppon a stall in London.”
page 68 note * Dee has added in the margin the word “dubito,” meaning, I suppose, that there was not any sufficient evidence for attributing this treatise to Roger Bacon.
page 69 note * Now MS. Cotton. Galba, E. VIII., partially burnt by the fire. Another copy of this work is in the library of Trinity College, Cambridge, H. vii. 2.
page 70 note * Now MS. Harl. 1, “Johannes Dee, 1557.” A portion of this volume formerly belonged to John of London.
page 70 note † The only copies of this work now known are in the Bodleian Library, but I have not succeeded in tracing this one.
page 70 note ‡ Otho, B. iv. vid. Tann. Bibl. p. 518. This MS. was destroyed in the fire of 1731.
page 72 note * Now in MS. Vespas. A. II. art. 12, “Joannes Dee, 1555.” This is an extremely curious and valuable tract in the history of optical science, and is similar to the curious treatise by Gogava De speculo nstorio. The focus of the parabola is here for the first time indicated, a circumstance which has escaped the notice of scientific historians.
page 72 note † The only MS. of Robert of Gloucester's poem, answerable to this description, is in the University Library, Cambridge.

page 76 note * Extract from this article in MS. Bernard, 3467, where there are other extracts from MSS. in Dee's possession.
page 77 note * Now MS. Ashm. No. 424. From a MS. note it appears that, in 1564, the Fellows of Peterhouse, at Cambridge, presented this book to Dr. Dee, in exchange for various printed books which he gave to their library. Vid. MS. C.CC. Oxon. No. 191.
page 78 note * Now MS. Savil. Oxon. No. 15,
page 78 note † It does not appear from Tanner's Notitia Monastica, or from Sir Thomas Phillipps's Catalogue, that this MS. is now preserved.
page 80 note * The MS. described by Wanley, p. 222, as MS. Cotton. Vitell. A. xviu, now destroyed, is probably the one here mentioned. The Cotton. MS. Jul. A. VJ. also answers the brief description above given.

page 82 note * This MS. is now in the Ashmolean collection, No. 360.
page 82 note † This is probably the copy now in MS. Cotton. Cleopatra, C. IX. I know of no other which answers the description.
