With printer’s device on title (a chained bear standing upright),
(1716) pages without the first and final blank leaves, folio,
contemporary calf: wanting most of the backstrip and the spine
broken in two places with the resultant three sections separated
by two leaves of blue paper of a later date, light staining in
places, mostly in the extreme lower blank margins where some
leaves have been very skillfully strengthened and leaf 3B5
trimmed slightly without loss, a good, well-margined copy with
the near contemporary signature of Matt: Wren.
NSTC 5689. In this issue line 12 of the title ends: ’cogni-’ and leaf 3Y2
is mis-signed 3Y3. Cooper ((1517?-94), one of a number of Elizabethan
bishops whose learning, hard work, and pastoral involvement shaped
the church in England in the late 16C. This massive work, popularly
known as Cooper’s Dictionary, is quite distinct from the enlargement of
Elyot’s dictionary which Cooper issued in 1548. In its time and place it
was unique and its influence on lexicography in England far reaching.
It is said that his wife, a woman of a profligate character (‘too light for
his gravitie’), burned half his manuscript of the book, but he patiently
rewrote it.
