Notes:
Cataloged from imperfect copy: leaf C1 and unsigned final(?) leaf only. "These two leaves were recovered from the back cover of a copy of M.V. Martialis: Epigrammata libri .xiiij. summa diligentia castigati. Parisijs, Apud Simonem Colinaeum 1539. There seems to be no doubt that STC 23154.3 refers to this edition, but there is no evidence that it is referring to this particular fragment. These are probably not the leaves seen once upon a time by E. Gordon Duff. [Cf. STC.] The bookseller from which the late Dr. H.A.H. Selbourne obtained the book was not Barber, but another Manchester bookseller named Shaw, according to a note on the title-page of this volume."--Gwosdek. Title supplied from STC; attributed to John Stanbridge by STC. Leaves closely cropped at fore-edge margin with minor damage to text.
Imprint from colophon on recto of unsigned leaf, which reads: Enprynted at London in Poules churyarde at th[e] sygne of the Trinyte, by me Hary Pepwell, in the yer[e] of our lorde a. M.CCCCC. and .xi[x].
Horizontal chain lines.
Woodcut printer's device (McKerrow 34B) on verso of unsigned leaf.
The text of the Accidence is known in three forms, all of which begin "How many parts of reason be there?" and are distinguished by length (the full or regular Accidence has 16-18 leaves, the long Accidence 12-14 leaves, and the short Accidence 4 leaves) and by different sentences present in the noun section (cf. STC, v. 2, p. 359). "Only [the full or regular Accidence] is positively connected with Stanbridge; [the long Accidence] is sometimes attributed to Donatus."--STC, ibid.
